Trump faces second defamation suit from E Jean Carroll | First Thing

The New York writer who last month won a $5m jury verdict against Donald Trump is suing him again, this time for $10m. Plus: three dead in Texas tornado

Good morning.

The legal woes of Donald Trump continue to grow: a federal judge has set a date for a second defamation trial brought by E Jean Carroll, who last month won a $5m jury verdict against the former president for sexual abuse and defamation.

In Miami, Trump faces 37 federal criminal charges over his alleged mishandling classified documents - including 31 violations of the Espionage Act.

In New York, the Manhattan district attorney has charged Trump with covering up hush-money payments to the adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Trump has pleaded not guilty in both cases, and in a town hall the day after the $5m verdict, he called Carroll's account fake" and labeled her a whack job".
