Trump faces a pile of civil lawsuits as depositions begin
Source: NBC News
Former President Donald Trump has been ordered to answer questions under oath in a lawsuit Monday, and his attorneys could set a date for a deposition in another case, as well.
The lawsuits, involving allegations that his security guards roughed up protesters outside Trump Tower in New York and allegations of defamation by former "Apprentice" contestant Summer Zervos, respectively, are just two cases in the mass of civil litigation Trump faces post-presidency.
At least 10 civil casesare pending against Trump, whose ability to delay them has been curtailed since he left office in January. Trump had argued in some of the cases that as a sitting president he was immune from civil lawsuits.His office didn't respond to a request for comment on the cases.

There is so much proof of wrongdoing from the SOB, on everything, politics, personal life, his stunt as president, his business, rape, sexual abuse, treason, insurrection, what are they waiting for? Impeached twice and without a doubt...
Enough, people go to jail for much less, why are they waiting so much for someone who walks guilty, speaks like a guilty person (I don't like golden showers, grab them by the pussy, etc.), and still running around creating more chaos...Unbelievable and disgusting!

(21,290 posts)I am aware of, defending Trump in his defamation law suit being brought by his accused rapist E. Jeanne Carroll. I guess that Garland feels obligated to defend the office of the president when it defames an accused rapist. Hard for me to understand how defaming someone is a part of his presidential duties.

Because in order to defend the office of the president you have to make sure anyone defiles it is brought to justice! Seriously wff?

I don't know what has happened with that, I will need to find out.
The problem is that Garland doesn't seem to be doing anything, not that he has said something about defending the presidency, buthe seems to be absent from all that is happening. I don't buy about "keeping the investigation quiet" anymore, there is enough evidence in all counts to put that asshole in jail, even Glenn Kirschner is becoming frustrated, so the questions that begs an answer is, what are they waiting for?
Because there may be some violence on the streets? Sure, that may happen, but that is why we have the police, National Guard and the military, to defend the country against foreign and domestic threats.

(21,290 posts)but it's the only excuse to defend Trump in a civil suit, and a very poor excuse I might add. Defaming E. Jeanne Carroll for her claim of rape doesn't sound to me like official duties of any president.

So... yea I am not sure what garland is doing if he is doing anything besides sticking to his federalist society dogma.

I look forward to him being miserable, raging at his sycophants (family and Republicans included), and screaming at his staffers and lawyers. May he be such a miserable prick he doesn't enjoy a single minute ever--from now on.

Not holding my breath... we've heard the equivalent of this 2x a week since he started campaigning in 2015. Yeah but THIS time will be different.

(36,747 posts)Trump's followers have long whined about perjury traps.
It is impossible to fall into a perjury trap if you tell the truth.
Trump is in danger here.
