JUST IN: Judge rejects Justice Department’s attempt to be the defendant in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit against President Trump.

Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.A federal judge on Tuesday rejected the Justice Department’s attempt to be the defendant in E Jean Carroll’sCarroll, a former Elle columnist, claimed Donald Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s.

“While the president possesses all of the executive power of the United States, he is not an 'employee' within the meaning of the FTCA,” Judge Lewis Kaplan said, referring to the Federal Tort Claims Act, which shields federal employees from individual damages claims. “The FTCA’s definition of that term does not include presidents.

“There is not a single person in the United States — not the president and not anyone else — whose job description includes slandering women they sexually assaulted,” Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, wrote earlier this month in a legal brief.“The government thus asserts that this case is virtually identical in principle to a lawsuit against a Postal Service driver for causing a car accident while delivering the mail," he said in the decision.

After Carroll made public her allegation, President Trump said in June of 2019:"No. 1 she’s not my type. No. 2 it never happened.”

Raping is not about if victim is his type of not, it is a power and control even hatred issue. It is that Donald hates his mother and takes it out on other women cause. He likes them weak .Threatened by strong ones.

Get used to it realDonaldTrump January 21, 2020 you will have to pay for legal services like the rest of us Americans. TrumpIsLosing TrumpCrimeFamilyForPrison BidenHarris2020ToSaveAmerica

If it was a crime committed as a president, the department can stand for him but if it was committed as a private citizen, it means the presidency is a shrine where you can run in to become untouchable.

Good!

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 $$ *Gives his kids Federal Jobs paid with our TAX $$

The very idea that the people’s tax money would be used to defend him on something like this is beyond absurd

I will teach my daughter to come forward right away if someone abuses her and that I will believe her no matter what. If you come forward with abuse allegations 25 years later...very hard to believe. She also accused Les Moonves of assaulting her. Someone wants to get paid.

tRump has a lengthy, amply documented and repulsive history of bad and assaultive conduct toward women. Indeed, he incriminated himself with his vulgar Access Hollywood remarks. The list of women who have alleged unwanted sexual comments, touching or worse by him is in the 20's!

Is she a friend of hunterbiden?

That's interesting. They are now trying to use taxpayer money lol wow.

Yeah, the US didnt rape somebody, that was an individual. If he did nothing wrong and trusts the system of justice he worked so hard to pack, then go to court and be cleared.

Yes! Pussy grabs back.

I would hope so. There is no way taxpayers should have to foot the bill for Trump’s legal defense.

How about all these other sex crimes? Who speaks for them?

Trump’s the rapist not America. WTF

Now do Tara Reid

What the Hell is going on ? American Democrats now a Socialist Party sick sick SICK
