TL;DR Summary

A federal judge has granted writer E. Jean Carroll's request to amend her original defamation lawsuit against former President Donald Trump to include comments he made about her in a CNN town hall last month. The judge's decision is a blow to Trump, who had asked the court to deny Carroll's effort to update her lawsuit, which now seeks at least $10 million in damages. Carroll has accused the former president of raping her in the mid-1990s and then defaming her after she came forward with her allegations in 2019.
