A lawyer for former President Donald Trump on Friday urged a U.S. appeals court to find her client immune from author E. Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuit arising from a decades-old rape allegation.
NEW YORK - A lawyer for former President Donald Trump on Friday urged a U.S. appeals court to find her client immune from author E. Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuit arising from a decades-old rape allegation, with the Biden administration siding with Trump's argument.
She said to rule otherwise could expose presidents to a raft of "frivolous" lawsuits simply for speaking on public issues. Democratic President Joe Biden's administration has said his Republican predecessor was acting as president when denying Carroll's claims, even though the claims concerned Trump's private life and his challenging Carroll's credibility was "crude and disrespectful."
