… but that claim was dismissed


Lastly, the Court addresses the President's argument that plaintiff's defamation claim in Count IV fails because it is founded on statements that are absolutely privileged, not actionable as a matter of law, and fails to allege defamation with the requisite specificity. The Court agrees with the President that the statements at issue in this case are absolutely privileged as a matter of law and, therefore, grants the President's motion for dismissal of this claim on that basis.


I think Trump started with the Clinton case earlier on, but that probably only would have covered his claim that he didn’t rape her. It wouldn’t cover him on claims that she had lied about rape before or that she was too ugly to rape.
