A lawyer for a columnist who last year won a $5 million jury award against Donald Trump for sex abuse and defamation says the former president's recent behavior shows he'll try to “sow chaos” when a new jury considers if he owes even more in damages. The attorney, Roberta Kaplan, asked a judge Friday to take strong measures to ensure Trump can't taint a jury that next week will consider whether columnist E. Jean Carroll should get more money. Trump has strenuously denied sexually abusing Carroll in a department store in 1996 ever since she first revealed her claims publicly in 2019.
