The U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday asked to replace President Donald Trump's personal lawyers with government attorneys in the defamation lawsuit by E. Jean Carroll.
In a highly unusual move, the U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday asked to replace President Donald Trump's personal lawyers with government attorneys in the defamation lawsuit by E. Jean Carroll—a move that could leave taxpayers footing the bill for damages awarded.
"Indeed, when providing the challenged statements, the President was speaking to or responding to inquiries from the press, much as the elected officials in the cases cited above were speaking to the press or making other public statements at the time of their challenged actions," the department's filing read.
"President Trump knows that I told the truth when I said that he had sexually assaulted me in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman. He also knows that he was lying when he said that he had never met me before and that I 'wasn't his type," Carroll added.
