E. Jean Carroll asked the US Court of Appeals in Manhattan to affirm a judge's finding that Trump was not acting within the scope of his office as president when he allegedly defamed her, she said in a Substack post on Friday night "Last fall, he had his Justice Department intervene and try to get it dismissed in federal court. He lost. Then, just a week before President Biden's inauguration, Trump's private lawyers and the DOJ joined forces to argue on appeal that when Trump called me a liar who was too unsightly to rape, he was somehow being presidential," she continued.

"I am confident that the Second Circuit will make it clear that no president, including Donald Trump, can get away scot-free with maliciously defaming a woman he sexually assaulted," Carroll added
