The Justice Department on Tuesday reversed course and said Trump can be held personally liable in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit.
This is a reversal from the DOJ’s position that Trump was protected by the Westfall Act because he was president when he made the statements about E. Jean Carroll.
In 2019, E. Jean Carroll alleged Donald Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s.
Trump has denied the allegations and called E. Jean Carroll a “whack job” who’s “not my type.”

I think its time to expand the Axis of Evil to include the current President of the U.S.
They don’t care.
Agree 💯%
WELL, THEY SHOULD!!!!!
And we should do everything we can to tell them that.
Don’t forget about her interview with cooper.
And really don’t forget about the fact that NYS changed the law and allowed her to file the complaint even though it was well past the statute of limitations.
And don’t forget that all of this is being bankrolled by the leftist that owns Salesforce.
They’re not claiming anything with regards to the suit. Just that he has no immunity because he was President when he said what he said about her.
“The Federal Employees Liability Reform and Tort Compensation Act of 1988, also known as the Westfall Act, is a law passed by the United States Congress that modifies the Federal Tort Claims Act to protect federal employees from common law tort lawsuit while engaged in their duties for the government, while giving private citizens a route to seek damage from the governments for violations. The law was passed in response to the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Westfall v. Erwin, 484 U.S. 292 (1988), which had created a precedent that left federal employees open to liability to civil suits for actions they took while performing their duties for the government.”

That may be now, or in the recent past, but 30+ years ago? I still think she’s lying.
Back in the 90’s, I worked in a high-end shop on Madison Avenue, and I knew a couple of people who worked at Bergdorf (which was only about four blocks away)...they both worked on commission. Let me tell you, if you are a commissioned salesperson at Bergdorf Goodman in 1990-whatever, and Donald Trump shows up, you do not take your eyes off of him, in case he wants to BUY SOMETHING. The idea that he could get into the fitting room with a woman and not be noticed is ludicrous. We retail people gossipped like fiends. FIENDS, I tell you.
If there were any truth to the story, it would have been on Page Six within days.
An anonymous Biblical source states that many, many years ago Donald Trump identified as a naked woman and was seen taking a bite of an apple plucked from a tree in some garden, somewhere…
Nobody is above the law!
Perhaps they need to scour the libraries in search of overdue books.
Yup...just like in that episode of Law & Order SVU...raped in a fitting room at Bergdorf's.
