E. Jean Carroll granted permission to seek more damages in Trump defamation case.

E Jean Carroll's lawyer welcomed a ruling allowing her to pursue her $10m defamation case against Donald Trump, following the publication of her 2019 book in which she accused him of rape and his claim she was lying. The lawsuit is separate from the case in New York in which Carroll won a $5m civil judgment against Trump last month. Carroll's lawyer will ask a jury to consider Trump's comments during a town hall-style interview that CNN broadcast the day after the jury decision last month, in which he appeared to double down on his claims that he did not know Carroll.
