E Jean Carroll seeks $10m in new damages from Trump

An amended lawsuit seeking an additional $10m (£8m) in compensatory damages - and more in punitive damages - was filed in Manhattan on Monday by lawyers for Carroll, who said remarks made by the former president in response to her rape allegations had so spoiled her reputation that she had lost her longtime job as an Elle magazine advice columnist.

On 9 May, a New York jury found that Trump had sexually abused Carroll in a New York department store changing room 27 years ago. It also awarded about $5m in compensatory and punitive damages: about $2m on the sexual abuse count, and close to $3m for defamation.

The following night, during a live town hall where Trump was interviewed on CNN in New Hampshire, he further and repeatedly demeaned Carroll and her experiences.
