Writer E. Jean Carroll has asked a Manhattan court to increase a $5 million judgment against former President Donald Trump for his continued harassment of Carroll, who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in the mid-1990s.

Carroll's attorney Roberta Kaplan is seeking a "very substantial punitive damages award" for Trump's remarks, and the judge has yet to rule on the request. This case could set a precedent for how public figures are held accountable for their actions.
