Not sure some here know what you're talking about.
Some context...
The Department of Justice has filed a motion to take over as Trump’s defense in a defamation suit brought against him by columnist E. Jean Carroll, who has alleged that Trump sexually assaulted her decades ago.
The DOJ gives legal representation to federal employees who get sued for actions that they take within the scope of their employment, so the department is now claiming that Trump was acting “within the scope” of his job as president when he called Carroll a liar, claimed he never met her, accused her of making up the assault to sell her book, and asserted that he would not have assaulted her because “she’s not [his] type."
There is no low too low for Bill Barr’s DOJ.
He has turned the department into the president’s personal law firm — and stuck taxpayers with the bill.
And the DOJ’s filing that Trump was acting in his official capacity when he denigrated E. Jean Carroll is not only legally ludicrous, it’s utterly repulsive. Trump and Barr’s corruption knows no bounds.
We as taxpayers shouldn't have to pay the personal legal fees of rapes possibly committed by the President.
Are we expected to pay for the settlement if there is one too?
Sad.
