BREAKING: 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.

E. Jean Carroll, center, who says President Donald Trump raped her in the 1990s, speaks to reporters as she leaves the Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse following a hearing in her defamation lawsuit against Trump, Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2020, in New York.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan came after the Justice Department argued that the United States — and by extension the American people — should replace Trump as the defendant in a lawsuit filed by the columnist E. Jean Carroll. Lawyers for Carroll had written that “only in a world gone mad could it somehow be presidential, not personal, for Trump to slander a woman who he sexually assaulted.”

She said they engaged in a lighthearted chat about trying on a see-through lilac gray bodysuit when they made their way to a dressing room, where she said Trump pushed her against a wall and raped her.

wbaltv11 Happened almost 30 years ago and they bring it up now because of election really

What the fuck did I just read?

The whole lawsuit is a BIG LIE ! The President said it NEVER HAPPENED! It’s all about the Benjamin’s!!!

Ugly liberal politicians plot

OF COURSE THE COURT DID..IT WAS A REDICULOUS DELAY TACTIC! NOT TO MENTION WE TAX PAYERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A MILLIONAIRES RAPE DEFENSE! WTF IS GOING ON!!

Ok yea as if he hasn’t been caught raping women and children before.

Raped a woman in a store? Really?

Good!! He thinks he can use the US SUPREME COURT as his personal court!!

Another smack down. This is the real law and order.

Trump trying to hid behind his justice department of whom he manipulates

It’s disgraceful the Justice Dept would even try this tactic If we don’t defeat Donald, we are lost as a country. It’s bad enough the race is as tight as it is Take water & a chair & get to the polling place as soon as you can Please don’t let R voter suppression win Every vote.

Erm, what?!

EllenYChang “Wait - you mean I’m not America?”

MTC_CO realdonaldtrump has been ordered to supply his DNA-which he is refusing! Why refuse your DNA if it could prove your innocence

What a ridiculous request. The US didn’t rape her. Trump did.

Imagine if the words 'Obama' and 'rape' appeared together at all, during his entire lifetime. Conservatives NEVER would've let that down. But with Trump? They embrace it. That's their president, violent sexual predator and all.

TrumpIsARapist TrumpIsLosing

Evidence he raped her?

WHY ISNT THIS THE GIANT ASS WAKE-UP IT SHOULD BE!!!

Trump is not above the law!!😷

And they appeal & win.

Why can't ?! The judge is bias and has political agenda. I still choose life, prolife, Trump realDonaldTrump God bless ProLife prolifegeneration

Ha ha ha! Now, how's he going to pay those legal bills coming up? Looks like billy barr will have a new client when his ass is kicked.

Same old story as in 2016.

Good. Why should my tax dollars pay for this predator's legal bills?

Hallelujah 👏

🖕🏻😂😂👏 get his ss to court, Trump also must provide a sample of his DNA.

TrumpIsARapist

Someone close enough to the president likely dislikes him enough to help provide a DNA sample to the right people. They’d still have to get a proper one, but...

The American people did not rape this woman. realDonaldTrump did, “allegedly”. If this accusation is false put on your big boy pants & fight it in the courts on your own Donny.

Just submit a DNA test. As simple as releasing his tax returns.

More 💩🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

Time to hand over your DNA mr Trump to save yr reputation of a respectable politician. Or is that truly a misunderstanding and are you really a rapist? Nice to know for voters. realDonaldTrump Jeancarroll TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

Looks like POTUS will not get out of this! Great!

Oh noo its going to be held personally responsible

Lock him up January 21st

No DNA, no tax returns. Sounds like somebody has a lot to hide.

question. so now does this mean Donald Trump is defendant in a ongoing rape case? ... just asking...

realDonaldTrump is a rapist!

Apparently Republicans are willing to ride with DoNothingDonald for white collar crimes, but not for rape. ejeancarroll claims to have DNA, which if true, MaryLTrump could save the day with genealogy DNA. 23andMe or Ancestry feel like stepping up to save America?

It won't matter, now that he stacked the high court they will protect him.

The US won’t replace you in this trial, but we will replace you next week.

What! As a tax-paying US citizen ... I did not do the sexual assault! It’s Trump! What goes on inside his bedroom door or room or whatever ... it’s his’!

A grifter move if there ever was one! An entire administration of grifters ... 8 trillion dollars stolen from America and lining the pockets of grifters.

what I find amazing is that all these women are democrats and only come out during a election, LOL the sheep has to be fed.

Gold diggers, dig for gold.

NOT NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. WE WILL SEE. ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. THIS DUDE WILL PAY IN THE END. OUR VOICE IS OUR VOTE. LETS GO VOTE..🗳 HOLD THIS DUDE ACCOUNTABLE.💪🏽💪🏻💪💯🗳🗳🗳

They HAVE A SAMPLE from her clothes! Now GeneticGenealogy GeneticGenealogist LINK IT UP

BrendaBalazs TrumpIsARapist

Mets1844 hopefully the election will be so close the Supreme Court can vote in Trump's favor? Seems some legal issues are pending.

AP-Xinhua News again

Ooo... a precedent for your personal liability, realDonaldTrump. Good.

Democrats are grasping at straws desperate much ?

Attorney Rudolph Giuliani 🤡 for the defendant

Trumps argument: I didn’t rape that woman and since I’m a US President, her case is against the US government not me. Lmao. This is the clown people want to be President for 4 more years?

Do y’all realize Trump only has November, December, n January 20, 2021 before he can be locked up! Am I the only one excited! The IRS, Cy Vance, Tish James, E. Jean Carroll, n boss lady Mary Trump n more r all coming for him! Tick Tock Trump😉

That is the proper action... Now, the next 'proper' action should be an enforceable order to realdonaldtrump is sit for a deposition and give a DNA sample---THIS WEEK!

Are my tax dollars paying for this?

I’m so glad 👏👏 I’m sick of Trump/Barr wrongly commandeering OUR Justice Department for his own “Stinks“ (Yes stinks) and his vengeful attacks & actions of lies and false conspiracies Vote Trump/Barr OUT!

The Ruling is delicious 👍😁

Wooooah...so he wanted the US to be responsible for the rape he committed in 1990 (allegedly) 😳.

I always thought Americans were so super crazy that surely a Hitler would be shot or blown up long before the vote. Little did I know, the crazy leaned Hitler (white Supremacy)

. FDR announced plans to Pack the Court in 1937. Denounced by Dem's! Biden staying quiet to avoid losing.

It’s gonna be another great day, Joe ‘s winning, Old Don lost without another Court Case, Claims of Rape in a Fancy Department Store, His days where he can use the Justice department like he owns it !!

Why havent they taken a sample from the many items he touches....Im sure you can get it from a cup he used

The Justice Department argued that the U.S. should replace Trump as the defendant in the lawsuit from columnist E. Jean Carroll. The judge ruled that Trump's public denials of the rape allegation came outside the scope of his employment as president.

You mean that crazed woman who said rape is 'sexy' and said her 'assault' wasn't 'sexual'

It has taken loads of $$$$ to string this one along. And we hear abt the crime rate in U.S. and look at who populates our prisons. Bet there are bunches of goodtimers who got caught w/marijuana on them doing 25 yrs and here's a rape case some 25 yrs old and hasn't been tried!!

🙏Thk u 4 not giving Trump whatever power plays would've come frm having the country of the United States be the defendant rather than (IMO) TrumpTheRapist himself facing his own (alleged) crimes, who happens 2 b a sitting Pres. Abt time everyone stops caving to DictatorTrump.

he’ll take it all the way to the Supreme Court

To prove Trumps innocents, all he has to do is give a DNA sample. So damn simple!!!!!

Well we all know what his next step is. Appeal to his Supreme Court, not ours, but his now.

Duh, yeah Donnie, no, the taxpayers don’t defend you when you get yourself sued for rape. Someone should bill Donnie for all the attorney’s fees he’s incurred in 4 years that were a complete waste of time and show corruption “the likes of which we’ve never seen before.”

That’s where Justice Coathanger comes in...

AND YOU BOOT STRAPS Donald’s “WELFARE” CRISIS FUND *Funds his personal Rape Law suits using our TAX $$ *Uses SOCIALIST Healthcare funded by our TAX $$ to beat COVID19. *Financially supports HIS PERSONAL businesses using our TAX $$ *Gives his kids Federal Jobs paid with our TAX $$

realDonaldTrump law and order!!

Yay me too stuff go chomo bro

SAVE THE MINORS IN HARDDISK..

LOL realDonaldTrump use your own money to fight your crimes. Not my tax dollar

_Politics I like real movies with real ppl little man realDonaldTrump how many womans you rape 🤭

Hello, can you lend me some money? My IBAN number is as follows ; TR45 0006 4000 0011 5201 8247 95

“Raped in a luxury department store”? Interesting allegation there lady... guess we will see how it holds up in court.

JonathanLanday I’m sure the Supreme Court will fix that for him. Seeing as how the entire Supreme Court has been corrupted by him.

_Politics the movie get supper cool 😎

nice

Who will want to wager that the now GOP SCOTUS, will not protect him?

We the people did NOT rape that women. realDonaldTrump did and should answer to it.

LMAO everyone goes to Parler now, Twitter is full of crap info like this

Judges works for Rothschilds and Rockefellers who are the real US government, because Trump doesn't tore the line in their demands.

Appropriate decision.

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.

Is anyone else saving these in their, “that didn’t age well” folder?

Bidens are the criminals!
