Appeals court hears arguments in E. Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuit against Trump
CNN
Former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll squares off against the Justice Department before a New York federal appeals court Friday in an oral argument that will likely decide the fate of her defamation lawsuit against former President Donald Trump.
The case centers on Trump's legal argument, which was backed by Trump and Biden Justice Department leaders, that he was acting in his official duties when he responded to reporters' questions about rape allegations Carroll made in a 2019 book.
The litigation has been a controversial issue for the Biden Justice Department, which was criticized by some Democrats for supporting the former President.
