Trump is headed to court Tuesday to argue that presidents can't be sued for defamation.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A defamation lawsuit against former President Donald Trump will be heard by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals on Tuesday, and while the case stems from a rape allegation, what's at stake is whether presidents can be sued for comments they make in office.

The case concerns longtime Elle advice columnist E. Jean Carroll's rape allegation against Trump, and his subsequent denials.

In June 2019, Carroll wrote in an essay for New York Magazine that Trump forced himself on her in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman in the mid-1990s.

Trump was president at the time Carroll went public with the rape claim, and he loudly denied her allegation in a series of statements to the press, in which he insulted her appearance and claimed she made the accusation up to sell her memoir. Trump went so far as to claim he never met Carroll, but that was quickly refuted with an image of the two chatting at a party in 1987.

as he made statements defaming her in the last couple of weeks on his truth social and he is not president now.

and she has DNA for proof of his raping her or sex.

5. For better or worse, she has no such thing

The only time there's 'DNA proof' of rape ... is when the victim is a minor below age of consent.

Not defending that shitbird IQ45, nor do I doubt the lady, but the only thing DNA can prove is ... sex.

DNA alone can't 'prove rape' unless one party is too young to consent. That's just the way it is.

8. But he is denying sex or even knowing her

and degrading and defaming her, I do see your point though.

4. Merrick Garland agreed with Trump,

DOJ was prepared to represent Trump (the office) in court when a district judge overruled DOJ and claimed it was not an official duty.

6. Merrick Garland did that?

I thought that was Bill Barr.
