ICYMI: The Justice Dept. will keep fighting to defend Donald Trump against writer E. Jean Carroll's defamation case.

Biden had criticized this effort last year on the campaign trail. Key phrase in DOJ's filing last night: "institutional interests" https://t.co/LTuq3vv58F
I joke that I am no sort of Suzy Silverlinings, and I try to maintain a fair amount of cynicism, but when it comes to this case, I genuinely hope that the claim that this is to protect "institutional interests" is with the hope that the case fails in this instance. Of all Trump's "l'etat c'est moi" bullshit, the idea that the DOJ had any business in what was wholly a case of Trump's gross personal life is exceptionally egregious.
