New York, May 24 (RHC)-- U.S. writer E. Jean Carroll is seeking further damages in a defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump, after he mocked her in a May 10 CNN town hall, while an audience packed with Trump supporters laughed and applauded his remarks.
Carroll is seeking at least $10 million in additional compensation. Earlier this month, a New York jury in a separate lawsuit found Trump liable for sexually abusing her at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in the 1990s and defaming her, ordering Trump to pay $5 million.
E. Jean Carroll charged Trump with raping her in a dressing room of the department store, but he was not convicted of that crime by the jury.
In other Trump News, U.S. federal prosecutors led by special counsel Jack Smith have filed a subpoena seeking information about the Trump Organization’s deals in seven countries since 2017.
The probe suggests Smith is looking into possible connections between Trump’s foreign business dealings and classified documents taken to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort after he left office.
