NEW YORK — (NEW YORK) -- As former President Donald Trump was being arraigned in Florida Tuesday on charges related to his handling of classified documents after leaving office, a federal judge in New York dealt him another legal blow.
Judge Lewis Kaplan allowed writer E. Jean Carroll to amend a pending defamation lawsuit against Trump to include allegedly disparaging comments he made about her last month after he was found liable for sexually assaulting her.
Carroll's amended complaint includes comments Trump made online and in a CNN town hall following the May 9 verdict in Carroll's civil lawsuit."I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS. THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE -- A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!'" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform following the verdict.
"We look forward to moving ahead expeditiously on E. Jean Carroll's remaining claims," Carroll's attorney Roberta Kaplan said.
