Judge Rejects Justice Department’s Bid to Interfere with E. Jean Carroll’s Case Against Trump

Last summer, she finally broke her silence about Trump's alleged sexual attack on her in the 90s. Now E. Jean Carroll's lawsuit is seeking damages for Trump's recent comments about her.

News update from the Washington Post: A federal judge on Tuesday rejected the Justice Department’s bid to make the U.S. government the defendant in a defamation lawsuit brought by a woman who says President Trump raped her decades ago, paving the way for the case to again proceed.

In a 59-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan wrote that Trump did not qualify as a government “employee” under federal law, nor was he acting “within the scope of his employment” when he denied during interviews in 2019 that he had raped journalist E. Jean Carroll in a Manhattan department store during the 1990s.
