“Donald Trump was dealt a blow in writer E. Jean Carroll’s remaining case against him, as the US Justice Department said there isn’t enough evidence to conclude that he was acting within the scope of his employment as president in 2019 when he allegedly defamed her by claiming she had lied about an alleged sexual assault,” Bloomberg reports.
“The government revisited the issue after a District of Columbia appeals court clarified a key issue about the law and a federal jury in Manhattan found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll in a parallel lawsuit she filed against him last year.”
