$12.1 million in compensatory damages for Carroll to fix her reputation, however, is only the tip of the iceberg.
The jury in that case awarded Carroll $5 million in combined compensatory and punitive damages.
Her attorneys have asked for punitive damages to "make him stop" defaming her.
Punitive damages could also send a message to other wealthy people that they cannot get away with lying about sexual abuse victims.
Carroll, finishing her testimony in the trial Thursday, said her reputation has been marred by Trump's attacks.
