WASHINGTON – Writer E. Jean Carroll asked a court Monday to enforce “very considerable” brand-new damages on Donald Trump for his spoken attacks on her after a jury discovered him responsible for sexual abuse and libel.
“Trump’s defamatory declarations post-verdict program the depth of his malice towards Carroll,” stated the filing by the complainant’s lawyers. They included that “it is difficult to thinkof defamatory conduct that might potentially be more determined by hatred, ill will, or spite.”
A day after a jury this month evaluated Trump $5 million in damages for sexual abuse and disparagement, Trump stated throughout a CNN town hall that Carroll was a “whack task” who informed a “made-up story;” he called the trial a “rigged offer.”
Trump duplicated some of those declares in a Truth Social post Tuesday in which he onceagain explained the Carroll trial as a “scam.” The previous president stated, “I wouldn’t desire to understand or touch her, I neverever mistreated her or raped her or took her to a dressing space 25 years ago in a crowded department shop.”
Trump has appealed the decision and the $5 million judgement versus him.
E. Jean Carroll looksfor brand-new damages
In the newest submitting, Carroll’s lawyers stated “this conduct supports a extremely considerable punitive damages award in Carroll’s favor both to penalize Trump, to prevent him from appealing in additional characterassassination, and to prevent others from doing the exactsame.”
It did not lookfor a particular quantity of damages.
The mostcurrent filing was made in connection with a still-pending disparagement case.
Last year, Carroll submitted a 2nd claim versus Trump under a 2022 New York law that offered victims a 1year window in which victims can takelegalactionagainst their declared enemies.
This was the claim that went to trial
