Writer E. Jean Carroll hits Trump with new lawsuit on Thanksgiving.
Carroll sued Trump for defamation in federal court that November. The former president argued that he was shielded from the lawsuit by a federal law that provides immunity to government employees from defamation claims. Judge Kaplan ruled against the justice department, stating that Trump had not been working in an official capacity when he denied the allegations.
The Justice Department appealed the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. If the court decides in Trump’s favor, it would likely result in the first defamation lawsuit’s dismissal., Carroll’s lawyer said in a court filing that Carroll’s new defamation lawsuit against Trump is based on claims he made last month in a social media post that accused the writer of lying, and labeled her case “a complete con job.
