A federal appeals court rejected Donald Trumpās use of presidential immunity in a bid to dismiss a civil defamation lawsuit brought by former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll.
The judges found that Trump waived using presidential immunity as a defense by not raising it earlier in the litigation over Carrollās claim that Trump defamed her when, as president, he denied her allegations of sexual assault. The appeals court also affirmed the lower courtās ruling that rejected Trumpās motion for summary judgement.
āThis case presents a vexing question of first impression: whether presidential immunity is waivable. We answer in the affirmative and further hold that Donald J. Trump (āDefendantā) waived the defense of presidential immunity by failing to raise it as an affirmative defense in his answer to E. Jean Carrollās (āPlaintiffāsā) complaint, which alleged that Defendant defamed her by claiming that she had fabricated her account of Defendant sexually assaulting her in the mid1990s.,ā the court ruled.
Lmao, right, youāll āgive Dems creditā but clearly have no idea how our government works (hint: itās not an empire and dems canāt magically decree laws)ā for which you should blame the Republicans who keep slashing school budgets.
But keep lying to yourself after Iāve proved you wrong. Iām bored and need a good laugh.ļæ¼
All youāve done is make the same excuses Democrats do, and yet, you still expect me to vote for them after doing so.
No wonder people think voting doesnāt change anything.
Iāve proven you wrong with multiple sources while youāve proven too dumb to know how our government works, lol
Thanks for the entertainment!
