Ten years ago this would have been laughed out of court. But last
spring e jean carroll won a defamation suit against trump for calling
her a liar after she called him a rapist despite having zero evidence
for her claim!

oct 4 2023 In what his spokesperson called a case with
“far-reaching implications for justice and the rule of law,” Rudy Giuliani has filed a 16-page complaint alleging President Joe Biden
defamed the former New York City mayor, who faces a mountain of his
own legal challenges.

Mr Giuliani, in a brief and rambling press conference in New Hampshire
on 4 October, raged at the president for using the phrase “Russian
pawn” during a presidential debate in 2020, a statement that Mr
Giuliani claims has cost him “millions and millions of dollars”
from lost clients and consulting business.

“Joe Biden has spent his life telling lies” and “getting away
with it,” said Mr Giuliani, who called the Democratic president a “pathological liar” and baselessly asserted that “people have
died” because of his statements.

“He called me a Russian operative … That is a lie, that is
false,” he added. “He owes me a lot of money in a lot of
states.”

Mr Giuliani’s attorney William O’Brien said they filed the
complaint in state court in New Hampshire because of the state’s
statute of limitations “allows the recovery of damages … wherever
and in whatever jurisdiction the statements were distributed or
published.”

During a presidential debate between Mr Biden and Donald Trump three
years ago, Mr Biden appeared to reference reporting in The Washington
Post that intelligence agencies had warned the White House that Mr
Giuliani was a target of an influence operation used to feed Russian misinformation to then-President Trump.

“[Mr Trump’s] own national security adviser told him that what is happening with his buddy, Rudy Giuliani, he’s being used as a
Russian pawn, he’s being fed information that is Russian, that is
not true. And then what happens? Nothing happens,” Mr Biden said
during the debate. “And then you find out that everything that’s
going on here about Russia is wanting to make sure that I do not get
elected the next President of the United States, because they know I
know them and they know me.”

I'm surprised he didn't include Hillary Clinton.
