E. Jean Carroll, right, talks to reporters outside a courthouse in New York in March. As part of her defamation lawsuit against President Donald Trump, Carroll is seeking a DNA sample from him in an attempt to prove he raped her in the 1990s, which Trump denies.E. Jean Carroll, right, talks to reporters outside a courthouse in New York in March.
E. Jean Carroll filed suit in New York state court last year after Trump, answering reporters' questions, denied knowing her and accused her of lying. Carroll, a columnist formagazine, wrote in a memoir that Trump had raped her in the dressing room of a Manhattan department store in 1995 or 1996. In an unusual five-page filing in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the Justice Dept. argued that Trump's remarks were made in the performance of his official duties as president and that therefore government attorneys should assume Trump's defense from his private lawyers.
The filing asked the court to designate the United States, rather than Trump, as the defendant in Carroll's defamation suit and to move the case from state to federal court. Federal officials are generally immune from charges of defamation. If the DoJ's filing is successful it would effectively bring Carroll's case to an end.
Carroll immediately condemned the legal maneuver, writing in a series of tweets,"TRUMP HURLS BILL BARR AT ME."is required to produce documents and DNA in discovery, he sics the DOJ on us.
Why is the Justice Department getting involved in this?
Sounds like abuse of power to me. When did the DOJ become the president's personal attorneys 🤔🤔
On who's dime?
Why exactly is it called the JUSTICE department since no actual justice is being done?
No taxpayer money to defend a sociopath! He's always saying how rich he is. Instead of soaking the American public for yet more personal deeds and misdeeds, he must stand on his own 'record!'
Trump is the same as Biden she went into that changing room with the attention of intimate contact. He is buying her furniture that day? No one ever buys me shit just on a whim oh right she's a borderline hooker and it's societies problem if someone takes more then she wanted.
Republican corruption knows no bounds.
Maybe she’s mixed up,
Would this not be expected? Just another pseudo event from NPR?
wvd11_moo If that was the DOJ policy back when, Clinton would have been saved a lot in legal fees.😎
Sad that our once great Department of Justice has been repurposed to fill Michael Cohen's old job as realDonaldTrump 's bootlicking attack dog. I'd resign before I'd ever serve under a hack AG like Bill Barr.
It took 3.5 years for a failed reality tv host to destroy the country. I can’t fathom why anyone would still be on the fence with this con job. Seriously, you must be living in some alternate universe if you’re still on the fence. 🤦🏽♂️ bunker boy is your guy?
Most people look at creepy Carroll and are thinking 🤭😳🤭”This woman is wanting attention and saying creepy things to Anderson Cooper. Me don’t think Trump would date or rape her.” Looks like somebody likes the attention. Do most raped women want national attention?
Just found out one of my scholarships fell through and I’m $2489.43 short on my tuition. I work a full time job but hours are few. If anybody can help, I would appreciate it.
iDirectorX
NPR is a joke
He deserves no defense. To hell with him.
Someone explain to me why the taxpayers have to pay for his legal defense here?
How can this be legal?
Hey POTUS and WhiteHouse No I don’t want to pay for that nonsense, thx DOJ payforyourownlawyer payforyourownrapecharge
My tax $$$ WTF!
Ok. All you Dems say Jacob Blake is a great guy and he raped a 14 year old. Make up your mind!
BIDEN SUPPORTERS WAKE UP CHECKYOURIGNORANCE VOTEFORTRUMP NO ONE WANTS SEGREGATION BY THE LEFTIST LIBERAL DEMOCRATS
And suddenly MeToo movement is alive again😒 no word for Jacob Blake’s victim though from “the movement” or Kamala, only claiming she’s “proud” of him🤮 utterly disgusting.
I dont understand. I thought the DOJ was non partisan. Is it their job to defend the president in his personal legal battles?
MJBErnie your boy rapes! So that's why you love him. Starting to get it now.
Ask Mary Trump for her DNA😎
Crazy how the scream rape when the other side is accused of rape but when they’re side is accused they are silent. Biden is the real rapist but the left hide it
Obviously you no longer wait to hear evidence on a case that is over 30 years old. What ever happened to the Statutes of Limitations you feckless twit? Why was no police report filed back then? Who are the witnesses, if any? I smell a DemonicRat!!!
I’m not footing that bill!
Where are the laws in the US? How can a President use a DOJ this way?
No! And I’m pissed.
Does this mean he can use tax dollars to defend himself?
I remember people accused Michael Jackson for being a raspiest. She accused Trump for the thing may or may not have happened 25 years ago. Where she’s been in the past 25 years? Politics are not a game
Hell Nooooooo!!!!!$
This did not happen after Russia installed him in the White House, this should not be our problem. Let accused-rapist realDonaldTrump pay for his own defense.
When a woman says 'bring it', that means there is no way out for you. She got a case and will give the Donald hell.
i never thought in my lifetime that I would see a headline like this About a so called American president And I remember And I remember Kennedy
ILLEGAL INSANITY UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Tax payers shouldn't pay to defend a rapist! TrumpIsARapist This is disgusting!
Barr is a criminal!
SenatorBaldwin RonJohnsonWI JimPressOffice Wisconites did not pay our taxes to see them used inappropriately to defend a rapist. DON'T ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!
Does that mean our tax dollars will be used to defend a serial liar and criminal? Where is the justice for Jean Carroll and many other women who have come forward. This is outrageous, especially when tRump admits his twisted predilection for unwanted grabbing.
In every other courtroom they would have to recuse themselves, I believe. Separation of powers? Is our Constitution dead? WTH 86451132020
Tax dollars at work. What a waste. Anyone defending trump is complicit. GOPComplicit
Impeach them all. This poor woman is now having to face the American government in her rape case.
this old woman looks like christine blasey ford's gramdma. i bet she can't even remember the exact date or year of the rape much like christine ford. sad that her book sales didn't make her much money so she has to lie about something that only happened in her imagination
Your tax dollars at work...😭😭😭😠
Your tax dollars at work.
What will happen if trump loses on nov 3 There’s no way a Biden DOJ will defend this
We the people will NOT be paying for it.
Do not let DOJ defend trump. We all know how that will turn out. Americans should not be expected to pay for his defense for a non political, personal act that occurred before he was in office.
will you stop with libel. Your already shit 'news' station has become libelous. I remember you guys shaming Tara Reade, the woman who accused Biden of rape (among many other for groping/sexual assault). Anyone still tuning into NPR has lost the ability to make original ideas
Please maddow can they DO this?!
Isn't the role of the DOJ to prosecute and shouldn't they be investigating instead of providing trump free legal defense-? We already know TrumpIsARapist his wife told us, Jane doe told us and countless others told us/ I believe the victims
micheleb801 How is this legal,where is the pushback from the Dems?😤🤬 ENOUGH
However it’s ok that Biden is a rapist and pedophile, right? If you’re going to be outraged by Biden’s orange brother - Trump, then you need to be outraged by Biden! Of course you won’t, you’re hoping pedophilia becomes legal if Biden is elected.
How is that even legal or appropriate?
PutinHasEpsteinTrumpStatRapeTapes
Na he does not hang out with uglies. He has standards.
If she is lying then prove it? Just give them the DNA sample & prove you are innocent. See science makes things simple!
I hope they ask him hard ass questions, stop treating him like a king, make that MOFO answer some questions. Trump is making the media look like suckers, y'all keep bowing down to this dumb ass President who said, 'He(I am) is smarter than you. Do your job media.
So is Biden I thought everyone was over knowingly voting for rapists. Vote third party quit voting for the lease of two evils
Tax payers are not responsible for the donald's sexual assaults, occurring prior to his oath of offensive.
This is such fucking bullshit. How dare you make this headline sound neutral? This is insane!
why can’t she remember the year of a mentally tragic event? weird
In 60 days trump won’t be able to hide behind the DOJ ...
Let us also hold Biden accountable as well for Tara Reade and many others...
I will pray for Ms. Carroll. God watches all the evil that is done, even by those in power.🙏
The DOJ? You don’t say? An yet the DOJ hasn’t investigated the Breonna Taylor case tho SayHerName
Is there anyone with standing that can challenge the Barr's interpretation that Trump was acting in his role as President?
No! I’m not paying for a rapist attorney!
Taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for the Rapists legal defense
This is wrong on so many levels
I think I’m going to vomit. This cannot stand. What happened to the law? Barr must be prosecuted - NOW!!
She is FakeNews like your network.
The Democrats can have pizza gate and traffic little children Sounds like they are trying to throw there dirt on trump😂😂 justice is coming trump2020
More fake news. Pull out the Jeffery Epstein flight logs 😂😂 First the virus, next race, and now calling him a rapist lol. Twitter is so scared lmao
Can’t stop thinking about this
What about all the woman that claimed Joe Biden sexually assaulted them or the countless little girls that we've seen him creepily grab all over them and nuzzle his face all up against theirs and he did it even after being called out on it. He's as creepy as they come
ALL FAKE! ofc this comes up soon as election is right around the corner.
They're really turning up the propaganda today holy shit lol
Why would he need Bill Barr to stop DNA collection, if he wasn't guilty?
Wait, your article remains unfinished- is it normal according to anyone besides Barr? Little tempest, what a s*
Why should the American taxpayers be responsible for this? This has nothing to do with his current office. Outrageous !
Corruption incarnate.
why wouldn't he just give the DNA sample that would prove he's innocent, and save on all these court costs that are going to be paid by taxpayers?
So now we're being told that our presidential choices are between 2 rapists? Good job America!
TrumpIsARapist is trending but Tara Reade filed a Police report accusing Joe Biden of Sexual Assault and the media is silent. Next they are going to say TrumpIsRacist but ignore the fact that Biden Has told us he is for 40 years.
DOJ should know better. This is not a federal case.
Americans are for the People’s President realDonaldTrump TrumpPence2020 WomenForTrump
Yeah right, after 25 yrs all of a sudden she remember this? This is all Democrats political BS. 2 months before the election!? Come on, she’s crazy. In an interview with Anderson Cooper she was hitting on him. She’s a lunatic. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica RedWave2020
The American justice system is gone. Period.
More lies to try to take trump down
I wouldn’t remember her stupid face either
Americans are for the People’s President realDonaldTrump
she decides to wait untill he’s president to start the accusations, it’s clearly defamation she must be a old sad bitter woman with nothing in her life except a highly questionable accusation
Next fake story
Just close it all down. What a joke.
TrumpIsARapist DisbarBarr
More taxpayers $!
1990? Lol
DOJPH SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES!! SHOULD NOT BE INVOLVED!!!
So he is using tax payers dollars to defend him?
Both presedential candidates are rapists. It's the cool new thing in Washington apparently....
This is just plain wrong. More corruption by Barr to protect the sexual abuser living in the WH. Every day there’s a despicable issue where Narcissist Trump is at the rotten center. Trump contaminates everything he touches and he ruins peoples’ lives.
Hey Bill Barr.. why are you going out of your way to personally defend realDonaldTrump on a rape charge that happened in the ‘90’s? Our taxpayers dollars hard at work.. we want itemized receipts for EVERYTHING and there will be no executive privilege, since it’s on our dime..
Neo lib Leftists: believeallwomen when Trump is involved Also neo lib leftists: don't believe Tara reade, she's lying
trumpknew
Too bad we can’t choose where our tax dollars go. 😡
Send in the CIA to arrest Barr immediately. ENOUGH of this lawlessness!
I can agree with trump for once. There is literally no need for DNA. If this rape case was in the 1990s then it should have been reported afterwards. Shows how fake this is. Plus since when did NPR become a reliable news source?
Dems did cause CA wildfire though!
No one cares - old fake news
He believes withholding evidence that proves him innocent is the best approach. Really? Who is he fooling? His actions are those of a guilty man...
And BillClinton was on Epstein island hella times what u think he was doing there having tea
What a misnomer the DOJ has become. This is just one more abuse of power in a administration without ethics or morality. Regardless of whether they actually defend Trump they have allowed the DOJ to be used as a defense tactic in a personal matter for the benefit of Trump.
What? He’s run out of campaign funds for lawyers to pay for his many lawsuits?
The DOJ is NOT Trump’s personal attorney!!! This is outrageous!!! The DOJ is supposed to work for the people!!
LOL are we still propping up this old crazy lady who said that to promote her new book? DEFUND NPR
No one cared when Clinton was raping everyone. Well maybe Hillary when she helped him cover it up
Do,you really think he would hit that...he has better taste
GUYS TRUMP ISNT AFRAID HES GOING TO DAIL THE DNA TEST HES AFRAID THEY ARE GOING TO CLONE HIM
TrumpIsARapist
They intervened because theres no evidence, just like with Blaisey Ford, it’s just defamation. We all know Trump was a sleaze bag for a large portion of his life, but a rapist? No evidence of that. Anyone who thinks these women arent doing this for politics are dumb or dishonest.
Not what the AG is for!
sportsterchic So, uh, we are footing Trump's legal bills? I think not.
Hard NO
You can’t distract the Rational Majority.
Doesn't Biden have some allegations of his own? Where is the NPR article on that? Fair is fair.
Isn't she the one who said Rape was a fantasy?
So here we have two rapists. Both are hailed on on different sides of the political spectrum. Both hated on different sides of the political spectrum. Both have committed other crimes as well. Those men. Trump and Jacob Blake. Hypocrisy current day USA.
Wow I wonder why she waited all these years ? She’s a Liar ! Looking for a dollar !
TrumpIsARapist is trending same day that he is nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. How predictable. Twitter is blatantly promoting this hashtag and suppressing news regarding the nomination.
That's so wrong the BARR THAT WORKS FOR THE COUNTRY TAKE THE CASE. TRUMPISARAPIST
Timing tells all, these stunts are getting old and harm real rape victims
The United States should not be involved the J. Carroll case. This is Trump's case and taxpayers money is not collected to pay for the defense of Trump's sexual encounters. Where are the rest of the DOJ officials and why are they not standing up to Barr and being complicit?
Joeleen72255925 Hard to imagine the courts letting that happen!
Still proceeding with the Democrat Communist Coup on our Great President Trump, aye?
Fake news
royaldmd1 TrumpIsARapist and taxpayers are paying for trump’s defense Just an after thought Where Are trump’s Tax Returns ‼️
WTF...if I understand this correctly, —the DOJ’s taking over this case means we, the people, will be on the hook for the legal costs associated with an accusation that was not within the course and scope of 45’s employment just because he spewed a denial as prez...🙄🙄😕🤯😡😡🤬
Barr is corrupt to the core! USA taxpayers paying to defend Donald Trump in A rape case! Yes this shit is happening right now!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡TrumpIsARapist BarrResign
This is wrong
Bad enough that a self-proclaimed and oft accused sexual predator occupies the White House. Now as a taxpayer I have to pay for the defense of his 'good' name in a rape accusation? There's no end to the humiliation and corruption of our democracy by Trump/GOP.
Yeah I don’t think you’ll hear much out of Biden or Harris! The Clintons either! The best bet on this one is to remain real low! Otherwise they may as well hand all the votes that are left over to trump. You know double standards and hypocrisy and all👇🏼
On the backs of the taxpayers this has to be illegal!
The same way Clinton did! And Harris did the same and Biden would have too But you know double standards and all! Or would that be hypocrites! I think the Democrats best bet is to be real quiet on this one! Me too?! Shhh! 👇🏼
Totally against the Law. This regime is worse than a bananna republic.
who would rape that smh
How is it that the taxpayers are now paying for this?
realDonaldTrump has now what he's always wanted, someone else to pay his legal fees. Now it's the American people taking care of Trump's legal bills. The ultimate scam.
Dishonesty shouldn't be rewarded.
If POTUS is innocent, he should leave WhiteHouse to submit DNA 🧬 and save taxpayers money.
So we the tax payers is paying for his defense?

Another liberal attempt to usurp a President. Where she been all this time? Why NOW before an election? Why not in 2016? It’s ALL BS.
OMG you poor losers never stop, face the music!
This is NOT RIGHT!
If Trump had been prosecuted for his crimes like any normal (un-wealthy) person, he would have been in prison on a 20-life charge back when he was a 20 year old.
That's an abuse of tax payer money. realDonaldTrump just supply your DNA already and stop wasting our money! TrumpIsARapist TrumpDNA
that lady is a confirmed crazy and her story debunked long ago, NPR knows it - FAKE NEWS - the beautiful part is that Trump is gonna win it easily in the next 48 hours
So the American tax dollars fund Trump’s rape defense?
How much are the Dems paying her for this story?
This case is among two private citizens, DOJ should not be involved. If he was innocent he would provide his dna sample. Only those who are guilty try to hid evidence that would exonerate them (ahem...such as important documents and witnesses)
If this case had any merit the bitch would have come forward the day after it happened. Shes a slimy democrat operative. moredemocratfakenews
Oh yeah, thats why she only waits to come out about it now. Give me a break!!!
Yes. Because she pulled this stunt 7 weeks before the election. We was she during the last 20 years?
Please let the courts deny DOJ's request quickly and vigorously!
Yeah soooo....when are the fake azz metoo Libs going to demand SilverAlertQuidProRap1st JoeBiden do the SAME for IBelieveTaraReade & force the senile fart to submit DNA & stop bogarting his documentation at the archives? Right...that's what I thought. NPRJournalisticFAILURE
Not the DOJ job to interfere or defend the president
This lady is a loon.....
so fucked up
Wow. So much corruption. Not even hiding it anymore 🤦🏽♀️
Doj is complicit in tRumps crimes
Oh yeah, this is definitely the move of an innocent man 🙄
FUN!!! Now do TaraReade
She is a crazy person, who is looking to extort money from the President. Matters like these, which are a distraction can pose a national security risk. That's why the DOJ is involved.
Been wondering what's happened to all the pending cases that we hear about ONE day, poof they're gone the next. I'm sure that we all know how bar is using his time on Our dime.
How is thei right? 😡😡😡😡

This has NOTHING to do with legalities and time-frames and EVERYTHING to do with the unlimited pressure the DOJ can abuse on ejeancarroll. Bill Barr must be impeached immediately! And dis-BARR-ed.
This means the DOJ has been changed, and the next AG will be there to defend Biden and attack his political opponents. I think he should wield this new power, at least until the Trump administration is behind bars.

this women is a liar sent in by Joe Biden team more crap from killer Joe Biden we can prove joe murdered countless Americans were is that story have a look at 40 plus years of Joe Biden murders long before trump

KrugerJoette One question, If Trump don’t know her, why do he need Barr? Do the DNA test.
Ask TaraReade for a comment
Time to put the doj out of business congress. Do your damn job and stop those corrupt bastards.
Have Anderson interview her again😂🤣😂
This is Insane, our Pr*sident is doing whatever the fuck he wants
I think im not going to pay taxes anymore.
My tax dollars should not be used for this.
It is not the Taxpayer's responsibility to either defend, nor recopense people on behalf of Trump's personal behavior. This is outrageous and needs to stop.
L’etat, c’est moi - Trump, Barr and the GOP.
Hey, even if it is true, which is 100% dems bs. You woke cultists love to defend criminals, don't you? All these riot, for low life scum, like burglars, domestic abusers, and rapists.
Saw this lady on the news. She seems about as credible as Biden’s accuser.
This woman is NUTTIER than a Fruitcake.
This is disgraceful. But it’s the corrupt Bill Barr so it makes perfect sense. BarrProtectsRapistTrump
The DOJ shouldn’t be involved at all. realDonaldTrump needs to stop wasting tax payer money & give a dna swab.
THIS IS NOT WHAT THE DOJ IS FOR!!!!
Timing of this now just before election? Politically motivated
TrumpIsARapist with a 30 yr history of sexual assault including rape He is a disgusting misogynist but FatFascist Barr may even be worse! He is Trump’s RoyCohn which would be fine if he wasn’t supposed to be the fvcking AG for all of US! ImpeachBarr ProsecuteBillBarr
HILLARY SHOULD BE IN COURT TODAY.
More taxpayer dollars for personal use. Doesn’t he use enough funneling the money into his golf clubs?
Just another normal thing normal administrations do, right, NPR?
Can someone help me understand? Why are they asking for DNA? Did this woman get a rape kit done in the 90's when this happened?
They're dragging this psycho back out? The Democrats must be really desperate. Remember this interview? 'Most people think of rape as sexy'
ejeancarroll is a very very lonely woman who’s enjoying some attention right now but I hope she ends up in jail over this Trump2020Landslide TrumpNobelPeacePrize
Hey ding dongs, Every politician has used tax payer money to defend any & all allegations against them. Hell, Congress has an entire slush fund. Oh & most of us don’t believe this women. And y’all don’t believe Tara Reade.
Can't DOJ be stopped from doing that?!! How is that abomination even possible?
I can't stop laughing. Trump raped this!?!?!
Is Trump the only person she is accusing and this happened 20 years ago? Why wait till the whole world is watching?
IowaPublicRadio This is just another way to delay case until after election....yet another way for taxpayers to foot Trump bills. We can’t get to November 3rd/January 2021 fast enough.
If an easy DNA sample could prove his innocence, why won't he give one? TrumpIsARapist
Now do Tara Reade.
Melania must be so proud.
Why are taxpayers paying to defend the rapist FakePresident realDonaldTrump ? DoNothingDonald says he has the money to put $100 million into his campaign, so why are we paying for this?!! FakePresident is a fascist dictator! BidenHarris2020Landslide to Save America!
How can that be legal? Not that Barr is a rule of law lawyer
TARA Reade..... oh wait we only believe accusers who have accusations about Republicans. Sorry forgot.
The DOJPH ain’t trumps personal attorneys & they need to protect our country. Not some rapist traitor 💯
If NPR doesn't cover Biden's accusers equally, NPR is a fraudulent institution.
JRTuttle4 If he’s innocent of the rape, and never met her, like he said, there’s no way she’d have his DNA. You’d think he’d be anxious to prove this was all just a smear campaign and that he’s the innocent victim BEFORE the election.
So ugly she sneaks up on a glass of water to get a drink🤦♂️GTFOH 🇺🇸🗽
Proof is he is GUILTY AF. The end.
Taxes shouldn’t defend this particular rapist.
She is too ugly,no way 🇺🇸🗽
Not the move of an innocent man or constitutional administration. TrumpIsARapist
What does realDonaldTrump have on Barr? TrumpIsARapist AmericaOrTrump
Obviously unethical. Shouldn’t I’d like to see Barr disbarred.
Now we have to pay for Trump’s legal bills, for a rape charge, when is it going to get low enough?
Bill Barr and the DOJ are now working hard to make sure Trump can rape people. Great use of tax payer money.
Imagine that. Our Jusice dept is defending Trump for personal defamation. Yet another outrage.
So rather than end this suit by providing a dna sample he’s gonna stick the taxpayers withe the bill? He sure seems guilty.
Trump has already confessed when he said he can grab women and they let him. He never said no one should do that. His supporters are complicit in promoting rape culture.
It's 2016 all over again.... I wish I actually knew Joe Biden's policies. I'm no Trump supporter but I can promise you only people who cares about tactics like this are already foaming at the mouth to vote against Trump
Is there ANY area of this government that DT hasn't sullied in some way, or used for his personal good and that of his family? When he leaves the White House, they'd better check that all the light bulbs and rolls of toilet paper are still in place. And the Jackson portrait!
Another social media story that won't move the needle on election day.
ChuckGrassley again your silence says you agree that ‘we the people’ should pay for Trump’s sexual predator actions. He needs to be held accountable for his actions and use his own money doing so. Your protection of this scum bag’s sexual harassment and assaults is sickening!
Now do Biden.
I feel like I've gotta be in a twilight realm right now. How is this even happening?
Crazy how everyone he knows is at one point 'very fine people' and then later he's apparently never met them.
So he’s “innocent” and could put this to rest with a DNA sample but instead uses resources of the DOJ to prove it instead...a con fraud rapist.
I can’t wait to hear what original constitutional concept justifies this move!
Do joe next.
Less than 60 days, we can make the change
Hey lefties. Escape your echo chamber. Follow a conservative.
This is a defamation lawsuit not a rape trial then? Is she seeking monies for being called a liar? What DNA evidence does she claim to have? Does this mean she also saved 'the blue dress'?
Nope. They will defend him anyway and no one will do anything about it
We the people of the United States should not be paying public officials to defend the President on a private matter. This is wrong. ChuckGrassley why so silent? You have been in office with your pretend morals way too long. Defend democracy.
😡😡😡😡😡
Bill Clinton has to raise his own money for legal defense re: Paula Jones and Whitewater, so why does Trump get his defense free of charge through the DOJ? Further, why isn’t Barr preventing this from happening? Maybe Clinton should sue for repayment of his legal fees?
Could MaryLTrump or another close family member provide DNA for a familial test?
It’s like there should be a group of scholars of the law, perhaps even other lawyers, who would examine the actions of their brethren, & when those actions are unethical, hold them accountable. Ensuring that those entrusted with this epic responsibility are worthy of that trust.
Media are you listening? You should be asking Trump about a DNA sample every chance you get. Don't stop. Keep asking. Don't let up. Keep hounding him like the dog he is.
Yep. Knew one of these were coming. Right on time.
Attorney General William Barr has a strange idea of what constitutes federal employment. Does Trump get overtime pay when he lies about raping a woman in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room?
If Trump were not guilty, he could have shut this down ages ago. His refusal to submit his DNA only supports the fact that he is guilty. There is a conflict of interest here with Barr defending him. Impeach both of these bastards.
We must demand that Trump submit his dna. The American public has the right to know if Trump is a rapist. How did lewinsky get Clinton’s dna? We must pressure daily until he submits. If he is innocent then he will submit it.
He's guilty anybody trying to intimidate like this is guilty
NeverTr95218328 And it all could be cleared up with one dna swab.....
She is bat sh** crazy
The doj has no role in this. This is victim shaming and the world should act against the US for it
What better way to distract from last weeks veterans debacle.
The American people should not be responsible for paying for the President's lawsuits. This is his problem not ours.
why is the AG acting as Drumpf's personal attorney?
B$
This will not end well for the DOJ
Poor Tara Reade and Jeanne Carroll.......... Oh well, metoo is officially over.
BillGRinehart This is an overreach by a government arm to be essentially a mob lawyer for a president who has soiled the office, scarred the American people.
Fake news
This isn’t the DOJ ‘s job to defend djt of crimes he’s committed before he entered office.
How is this legal? He needs a defense attorney, not the Justice Department.
Dictatorship.
She's lying lol
Now do TARA READE.
Man, how low and embarrassing. They aren’t even trying to hide it anymore.
Maybe there is some dna left in stormy’s snatch to get a sample from.
Guess the RNC ran out of donor money for his legal defense so now we’re all paying for it?
This might be too much even for a Banana Republic. Congratulations, AG Barr!
It’s not legal and gonna get kicked back, it’s a stalling tactic, but he wins for not having to deal with it now.
Ridiculous!!!
Who should we believe now?
It is NOT true that DOJ only intervenes when a federal employee is acting in an official capacity. They intervene at the AG’s discretion if the US has an interest in the case. Eg, they defended Hillary as First Lady and the opposition objected. She won the issue on that basis.
NPR needs to be defunded; they've become nothing but partisan political hacks. They shouldn't be given taxpayers money defundNPR.
The headline should be 'Trump hides behind DOJ to avoid DNA test for rape accusation.'
Barr argues Trump was acting President at the time of the alleged crimes. Which is absurd. This legal claim is easily defeated. So, it's not that. It's bcuz the FED gov. can't be sued for defamation. A tired attempt at a dismissal. Not to win, but to stall. However..,
Bill Barr wakes up every morning wondering what else he can do to help Trump.
Is the swamp drained yet?
Even after Biden & Kamala visited a rapist to apologize for the police doing their jobs? LoL- FakeNews and failing Dems keep throwing fake spaghetti at the wall in hopes something sticks with voters. Kavanaugh was the last straw.
Your tax dollars at work.
He never touched that raggedy old bat, But anything NPR can do to push your ultra liberal BS narrative
