The Justice Department says Donald Trump can be held personally liable for comments he made about author E. Jean Carroll, even if he made those comments while he was president.
That case is separate from the one in which Carroll accused Trump of rape during an encounter in 1996 in a department store. In May of 2023, a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll and then defaming her over the allegations. The jury rejected Carroll's rape claim.In the matter of the 2020 defamation lawsuit, the Justice Department originally agreed with Trump's lawyers, who said Trump's comments were protected under the Westfall Act.
