    Of course the DOJ would be uninvolved.

    I’m talking about a personal suit by Biden: he’s the victim of the slander.

    It would be the best money Biden could spend. Nothing else is going to stop the reckless dishonesty by Trump supporters and attorneys.

        For the one hour that it takes to provide testimony and cross examination? Yes.

        This is his lawyer’s time, not POTUS’ time

          1 hour of testimony in a simple divorce proceeding for a blue-collar worker is the result of dozens or hundreds of hours of working with the attorney on documentation and preparation. I imagine it would be an order of magnitude more work if it’s the POTUS suing for defamation. It also feeds into the “both sides” narrative to see Biden sitting in a courtroom, same as Trump. It doesn’t matter that Biden’s not the defendant, and it doesn’t matter that it’s a civil matter instead of a criminal one because the footage of Biden in a courtroom is more than enough to sell that story to the sycophants.

            In a divorce case you need testimony to understand what the other spouse did.

            In a slander case what evidence does Biden need to testify about?

            All the evidence is a matter of public record.
