A jury last year ordered Trump to pay the columnist $83 million in damages.
American taxpayers will not be paying for the ongoing appeal of Donald Trump’s $83 million defamation case, a federal appeals court determined on Wednesday.
A panel of judges on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday denied Trump’s request to have Justice Department lawyers argue in his appeal of columnist E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case against Trump.
A New York jury last year ordered Trump to pay the former Elle magazine columnist $83.3 million in damages for defaming her in 2019 when he denied her accusation that he sexually assaulted her in the dressing room of a Bergdorf Goodman department store in the mid-1990s. Trump has denied all allegations.
So if Trump continues to use the US government as one of his businesses does that mean it will end up like most of them? Bankrupt?
And there’s the grift. Because that cannot happen. It’s a blank check for the corrupt.
Exactly.
What’s the matter, has he run through competent lawyers who are willing to defend him?
Probably. He appointed them all to positions in the government.
doj is not your personal attorney you fucking orange freak
I’d almost be ok with DoJ lawyers taking the case. Their track record this administration has been really bad.
I mean, it is hard to defend blatantly illegal shit
Sweet.
