This is crazy stuff. Why on Earth should the American tax payer fund the turds defence of this civil suit?

Another major loss for Trump.

The DOJ argued that the president was acting as a government employee when he said Carroll was lying and motivated by money with her allegation that he attacked her in a New York department store dressing room.

Because of that, the DOJ had argued, the government should be the defendant in Carroll’s lawsuit, not the president.

Kaplan flatly denied that argument.

“The President of the United States is not an employee of the Government within the meaning of the relevant statutes,” Kaplan wrote in a 59-page ruling released in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

“Even if he were such an employee, President Trump’s allegedly defamatory statements concerning Ms. Carroll would not have been within the scope of his employment. Accordingly, the motion to substitute the United States in place of President Trump is denied.”

"A DOJ spokeswoman declined to comment when asked if the department will appeal the ruling.

"If the judge’s decision stands, the department will also be barred from defending Trump in the case."
