NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 E. Jean Carroll, the columnist who won a $5 million sexual abuse and defamation award<\/a> against former President Donald Trump, is seeking at least $10 million more in a new court filing Monday that seeks to hold him liable for remarks he made after the verdict.<\/p>\n

An amended lawsuit seeking the $10 million in compensatory damages \u2014 and more in punitive damages \u2014 was filed in Manhattan by lawyers for Carroll, who say remarks by Trump in response to her rape allegations so spoiled her reputation that she lost her longtime job as an Elle magazine advice columnist.<\/p>\n

They said in the rewritten lawsuit that he \u201cdoubled down\u201d on derogatory remarks about Carroll at a cable television app<\/a>earance a day after the verdict.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump\u2019s defamatory statements post-verdict show the depth of his malice toward Carroll since it is hard to imagine defamatory conduct that could possibly be more motivated by hatred, ill will, or spite,\u201d the lawyers wrote. \u201cThis conduct supports a very substantial punitive damages award in Carroll\u2019s favor both to punish Trump, to deter him from engaging in further defamation, and to deter others from doing the same.”<\/p>\n

A nine-person jury two weeks ago decided Trump had sexually abused Carroll at an upscale Manhattan department store in early spring 1996.<\/p>\n

Carroll, who testified during the trial<\/a>, first revealed in a 2019 book her claims that Trump raped her in a dressing room. The jury decided Carroll hadn’t proved she had been raped, but found that Trump had sexually abused her.<\/p>\n

Joe Tacopina, a Trump lawyer, declined to comment on the new claims.<\/p>\n

The lawyers filed the new claims in amending a defamation lawsuit that was put on hold as an appeals court was deciding whether Trump could be held liable for remarks he made in 2019 while he was still president. The U.S. Justice Department has supported his lawyers’ claims that the United States should be substituted as the defendant.<\/p>\n

In the new claim, Carroll’s lawyers said Trump, \u201cundeterred by the jury\u2019s verdict, persisted in maliciously defaming Carroll yet again” the next day during a \u201ctown hall\u201d event hosted by CNN.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe doubled down on his prior defamatory statements, asserting to an audience all too ready to cheer him on that \u2018I never met this woman. I never saw this woman,\u2019 that he did not sexually assault Carroll, and that her account \u2014 which had just been validated by a jury of Trump\u2019s peers one day before \u2014 was a \u2018fake,\u2019 \u2018made up story\u2019 invented by a \u2018whack job.\u2019 Those statements resulted in enthusiastic cheers and applause from the audience on live TV,\u201d the lawyers wrote.<\/p>\n
