The Department of Justice wants to stand in for President Trump in his ongoing appeal of a defamation case that could cost him tens of millions of dollars.
Lawyers for the taxpayer-funded agency and Mr. Trump's personal attorneys said in a filing on April 11 that the Justice Department believes the federal Westfall Act shields Mr. Trump in the case, which has pitted him against the writer E. Jean Carroll.
A federal jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million in January 2024, after concluding that Mr. Trump made defamatory statements when denying that he sexually abused Carroll. That award came less than a year after a separate federal jury concluded Trump was liable for sexual abuse, and instructed him to pay her $5 million.
Mr. Trump has denied all of Carroll's allegations and appealed both cases.
The Justice Department asserts that Mr. Trump was acting in his official capacity as president when he made the allegedly defamatory statements about Carroll in 2019, and therefore the court is required to substitute the United States for Mr. Trump in the case. Under the Westfall Act, federal employees are entitled to absolute immunity from personal lawsuits for conduct occurring within the scope of their employment.

Does the right even stop to think anymore or is everything just a gut reaction to stuff that happens? Reactionaries are insufferable. Whether we’re angry over masks or angry over rainbow books or angry over Spanish being an option on Things, they’re always so angry over something.

I love how you'll turn a discussion on immigration into an opportunity to advocate your sick fetish of pushing sexual materials on other people's kids.
Its genius, if they perform to quotas, even with access to lawyers and courts the sheer volume of those detained and deported will overwhelm the courts. Give them bonuses and they'll round people up wholesale. Its a brave, better new world!!!
On the flip side its a good time to be invested in the El Salvadorian private prison complex, I'm gonna talk to my guy about investing.

I was told the gun nuts in this country would prevent this. Growing up here in Utah, I was taught for years that slaughtered school children, shot up theaters, and bloody super markets was the price we paid for such “freedom.” As it turns out, the gun nuts were always on the side of authoritarians.
Can we finally ban the guns and join the rest of the industrialized countries with gun laws that make sense? What benefit do we get from letting any moron obtain an arsenal of guns?
