Jean Carroll , who has accused President Trump of raping her in the 1990s, leaves federal court in New York City after a hearing last week in her defamation lawsuit.

The Justice Department argued that the federal government therefore should step in as the defendant in the case.In his 61-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan rejected that request. Kaplan wrote that Trump's comments concerned an alleged sexual assault that predates his time in office, and the allegations against him"have no relationship to the official business of the United States.""To conclude otherwise would require the court to adopt a view that virtually everything the president does is within the public interest by virtue of his office," Kaplan wrote.

JuddApatow He needs to be tried as he appeared in the ‘90’s and not as the public servant he is today. Not to mention, no one, in public office should ever be allowed to abuse taxpayer money for private crimes, whether within the WH walls or not.

JuddApatow Finally! A judge who knows how to be impartial!

What corner are we turning in OH?

JuddApatow Attention, Trumpublicans: The Justice Department isn't your president's personal law firm. Thought you should know.

Trump says she’s a liar , all he has to do is take a DNA test , and if it isn’t his sperm he can counter sue . What he afraid of ?

NPR always hiding the truth and supporting false narratives.

JuddApatow Bravo! We still have justices on the bench resisting Barr’s overreach and politicization of the DOJ!

Patiently waiting for Trump to prove his innocence and hand over a little piece of hair or something? Or is he not innocent, many cases have been dropped but not once was he proven not guilty!

Judicial Discernment

Yeh, how can DOJ be Trump?
