Department of Justice officials on Tuesday officially declared that defending Trump his sexual abuse victim, writer EJ Carroll, is no longer their problem after five years of pretending that the fat bastard was acting in his official duties as president when he defamed her back in 2018.
“I write to inform you that, in light of the DC Court of Appeals’ clarification of the standard for respondeat superior liability under DC law, see Trump v Carroll, 292 A3d 220 (DC 2023), as well as new factual developments, the Department of Justice is declining to certify under the Westfall Act, 28 USC § 2679(d), that defendant Donald J Trump was acting within the scope of his office and employment as President of the United States when he made the statements that form the basis of the defamation claims in plaintiff’s Amended Complaint in this action,” wrote Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian Boynton to Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan.
