Trump cites presidential immunity to try to toss out $83M judgment he owes to E. Jean Carroll


quote:

His argument hinges on the Supreme Court’s landmark June 2024 decision that granted Trump broad immunity in one of his criminal cases. The decision said that former presidents have expansive protections from being prosecuted for official actions they took during presidency.

Smith argued that the principles underlying the immunity decision also protect Trump from Carroll’s civil lawsuit. Trump’s statements about Carroll were distributed through the White House press office and came in response to “reporter inquiries about a matter of public interest.”

The panel Tuesday appeared skeptical that the Supreme Court’s decision applies to the Carroll case, in part because Trump may have waived any immunity defense by not raising it earlier. Smith argued that it wasn’t waived because it “is not waivable.”

It should protect him because we all know she wouldnt have sued had he not been president.

This entire suit is an exercise in lawfare. An obviously false claim brought about in a friendly jurisdiction that was only allowed because of an act of the state legislature expressly targeted to get Trump.

-A lady that has a cat named Vagina that is outright batshit crazy, that said on TV she thinks rape is sexy... That over 30 years ago Trump raped her in a changing room of a high end clothing store in NY.

-She only won because they rigged the courts, judges, jury JUST TO GET OMB.

-AND the republicans were all in on it just like Carlson being asked by Lachland Murdoch to please challenge Trump when Meatball failed to launch...

-Then 2 impeachments, a paid for case in GA with that girl boss hussy. An unlawful, unjustified FBI raid of a President...

-2 assassination attempts

AND TRUMP STILL WON.

Whatshername that calls her cat vagina, can GFH and EABD's.

The Dems could have at least gotten someone mildly credible to carry out this political attack. Everyone without major TDS knows that the ruling is bogus.

the fact that she got a settlement against trump at all, not just an absurdly huge settlement, is preposterous. She was saying obviously false and damaging things about him, and he merely used his first amendment right to deny it and defend himself against slander

Trump being who he is would never have tried to band this woman as there was never a time when she would have appealed to him. That said the law reversal, the state law and civil law regarding had expired, seems like a good way to approach this as it was passed to sue him and only him. The governor said as much and proclaimed to everyone else that any further actions against others are not needed

Didn't she claim to still have the 30 yr old unwashed dress that still had his love stains on it? What a ridiculous case, I cant believe people still cite this as proof of him being a rapist.

The dress she cites was not in existence 30 years ago.

SFP said here he was convicted of rape in that case. Then had to edit his post

She didn't even have any evidence! The evidence was proof that she was at the same event. And that she called her friend and told her about it.

My big red flag is she has accused others of raping her and didn't sue them.


I believe she said because they were nicer about it.

Didn't Trump's attorneys depose her? This is insanity.

You said the same thing yesterday and were wrong then just as now.

This argument in OP may actually have a shot of holding up, moreso than the similar attempts in the NY criminal case (which will likely be sent back down for other reasons).

A. I wasn't wrong

B. Other than having court and work, it's blood in the water time for the cultlike members. Little of substance can be achieved rhetorically during these times.

This is what I'm wondering. I remember the NY Supremes seeming to show a great deal of disapproval toward the prosecutors during the appeal arguments. The prosecution actually ended up focusing more on why they shouldn't be sanctioned and all but ignored any argument as to why the convictions should stand. And that's been . . . amost a year ago? Where the hell is their decision?
