A federal judge ruled the Justice Department can’t represent President Trump in a defamation lawsuit because he wasn’t acting in his official capacity as president when he denied raping an advice columnist.

The Justice Department can’t represent President Trump in a defamation lawsuit because he wasn’t acting in his official capacity as president when he denied raping an advice columnist, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

The ruling, by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, marks a legal victory for E. Jean Carroll, a journalist who accused Mr. Trump of raping her in a department-store dressing room in the 1990s. Ms. Carroll’s lawsuit in New York state court contends Mr. Trump defamed her when he denied the alleged rape after an excerpt...

About freaking time! Get Barr away from all of this and let the courts and the women involved nail this bastard.

The fact that this is even a serious point of discussion is utterly stunning. Would the Justice Dept be available to represent Trump when someone sues his business? Of course not. Ridiculous President, ridiculous attempt to steal from Americans, ridiculous attempt to bully.

The Corrupt Media will be eliminated by market competition

If there's nothing to hide, just confront the charges. Like when folks say you shouldn't run away from the police. Isn't that what this is? Running away from the police?

Ha ha ha he's gonna be broke since he's pissed.

'She's not my type' A sentence that means: If she 'were my type' I would be guilty of what I am accused of! He would do it if she were his type! Almost every woman or teen is 'his type' Just ask Epstein! He’s lying about the 20+ women not being his type.

Blend Trump's authoritarianism with his willingness to stand by and watch 228,000 Americans die, then happily go enjoy his supper, to lose 545 parents in his concentration camp to arrest his opponents to agree with China that concentration camps are good and you have a Nazi!

Fake news. Why is this allowed on Twitter?

🙏🙏🙏🙏

What about FLOTUS'S lawsuit against her former assistant? Melania is using the DOJ for this as well.

How shameless is Trump trying to get Justice Department to help him solve his dirty crime

It's about time that the American taxpayers don't have to cover his legal expenses.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time...

thanks

Good news ! Bastard !

Clinton appointee.

This will go to SCOTUS and be overturned!

Oopsy doodle!!

Is the Carroll clown paying her legal fees & expenses?

Innocent people don't withhold a DNA sample that would exonerate them and clear their name.

This is obvious. Taxpayers shouldn’t be funding his defense

What a ridiculous claim to attempt to make.

Here are the wealthy and privileged of Hollywood pretending to be everyday Americans 😂 When democrats shut down their states, they weren’t the ones affected. Either it’s crooked Hillary or incompetent Biden, Trump will win TRUMP2020ToSaveAmerica MondayMotivation news KAG

Judge: US can't replace Trump in columnist's slander suitBREAKING: A federal judge denies President Trump's request that the U.S. replace him as the defendant in a defamation lawsuit alleging he raped a woman in a Manhattan luxury department store in the 1990s. How did this even get to court?! It’s sick a President would ask such a thing! That is an abusive king move. Exactly why there is a USA in the first place! Law is king here. We’ll just have to sit back and see which candidate has the most dirt on him I guess. How fast to pursue a republican but a democRAT. Divided land and law for all.
