Hi,
Donald Trump's legal problems are far from over. But somehow, the Department of Justice is still defending Trump against a sexual assault allegation.
You read that right: Attorney General Merrick Garland is following Bill Barr's lead and using the DOJ to defend Donald Trump in a defamation case stemming from an allegation he sexually assaulted a woman 25 years ago.1
President Biden needs to step in and stop this in its tracks, right now.

Donald Trump has faced multiple accusations of sexual assault and misconduct. In 2019, E. Jean Carroll accused Trump of assaulting her. Trump's response to the allegation caused Carroll to sue him for defamation. Trump's handpicked Attorney General Bill Barr claimed that Donald Trump was a federal employee so that the DOJ could take up his legal defense.
President Biden's Attorney General, Merrick Garland, should have dropped this defense and let Donald Trump fend for himself. Instead, the DOJ just confirmed that they're following Bill Barr's flimsy reasoning and continuing to provide Donald Trump with legal defense.
Donald Trump already has an army of lawyers. He doesn't need Biden's DOJ protecting him.
Sign the petition: President Biden's DOJ should stop protecting Donald Trump!
Thanks for taking action,
