The columnist who won a sexual abuse and defamation case against former US president Donald Trump has filed a fresh lawsuit over comments he made on TV a day after the verdict was announced.

E Jean Carroll, 79, was awarded $5 million on May 10 and is seeking at least a further $10 million for comments made by Mr Trump at a CNN town hall meeting.
