Read: E. Jean Carroll seeks fresh damages from Trump after CNN town hall
Lawyers for the writer accused Trump of "repeating on CNN the statements" the jury found to be defamatory.
Writer E. Jean Carroll sought to amend a defamation lawsuit against former President Trump on Monday to include further damages over remarks he made about her during a CNN town hall event earlier this month.
Driving the news: During the town hall event, Trump ridiculed Carroll and a jury's decision to hold him liable for sexual abuse and defamation and to award the writer $5 million in damages in her previous civil lawsuit against him.
Trump, who is running for president again in 2024, called Carroll a "whack job" and called her allegations "fake" and "made up" during the event.
