E. Jean Carroll Moves To Amend Suit Vs. Trump




Fresh off of her defamation victory in court where she was awarded $5 million in damages, and 12 days after the Malignant Loser's CNN "town hall" / rally, E. Jean Carroll took action yesterday to amend a separate, still- pending 2019 defamation suit against him for continuing to defame her.  From CNBC:

"Carroll now is seeking no less than $10 million from Trump in damages in her original lawsuit in light of what he said May 10 on CNN.

The move came as her lawyers asked a Manhattan federal court judge for permission to amend that first defamation lawsuit, which she lodged against Trump in 2019, to reflect his new statements on CNN about her, which they say also are defamatory.

'Trump's 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,' the proposed amended complaint said.

'This conduct supports a very substantial punitive damages award in Carroll's favor both to punish Trump, to deter him from engaging in further defamation, and to deter others from doing the same,' the complaint said."  (our emphasis)

The Malignant Loser may believe he can stall and outrun the monetary judgements resulting from his sexual abuse and defamation of Carroll, since his depraved mouth keeps running up the "bill" for damages. But with the Malignant Loser's tactics well known to the court, the amended complaint (which references the more recent defamation suit) could move quickly with the amended request for $10 million in damages.
