Trumpworld goes crying to John Roberts about "defamation" every time they read something about themselves that they don't like. But they brazenly lie about anyone and everyone, destroying the reputations and jeopardizing the safety of anyone in their crosshairs. And yet nothing gets done about it.
OKC405Trump is asking the Supreme Court to step into his long-running legal fight with writer E. Jean Carroll and overturn an $83.3 million defamation verdict.
