The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a notice of removal on Tuesday, removing a defamation case against President Donald Trump from New York State Court to the District Court of the Southern District of New York, and sought to swap the US government for Trump as the defendant in the case.
The move is the latest response by the government to a lawsuit filed against Trump by E. Jean Carroll last November, a journalist who alleges that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s.
