The president denied writer Jean Carroll's claim of assault in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman's and now with government representation, taxpayers will pick up the tab to defend him.in a defamation lawsuit brought by former Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll, her attorneys said in a new court filing Friday night.
Carroll sued the former president for defamation after he accused her of playing politics and lying about an alleged 1990s rape in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman.to replace Trump as the defendant, ruling that his statements about Carroll were not made as part of his official duties and that the legal theory cited by the DOJ does not apply to the president."Trump has tried and failed repeatedly to get my lawsuit booted," Carroll said in a statement Friday.
On appeal, the Justice Department insisted the former president was commenting on a matter of public concern when he addressed Carroll's accusation because it was"an issue potentially relevant to his ability to perform the duties of his office effectively."Former President Donald Trump speaks during the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Fla., Feb. 28, 2021.
Why the heck would they be worried about what lawyers represent him something smelling fishy.
This chick is crazy. She tried to seduce an interviewer that was asking her about the alleged rape.
WHY would DOJ be involved? He's thankfully NOT president and this happened before his disastrous 4-year run as A-hole in chief. This is ALL on him!
Your THIRSTY
I love her . What a brave and beautiful woman.
The DOJ shouldnt be defending the case anyways, even if Trump was a sitting president. All allegations against a sitting president should probably be subject to some level of DOJ scrutiny though, even if they arent the lead...Just to have their toes in the water.
ReginaMichele5 AG Garland will surely pull the rug from under this before too long.
Good. That was a Barr stunt.
Crazier than a outhouse rat.
Didnt Biden win the election? Wtf?
They’re really drawing out the case that will take trump down for as long as they can it seems.
Why would a government agency defend citizen Trump? That is completely backward.
