It would be ironic if the tort of defamation, widely celebrated by candidate Donald Trump in 2016, helps to bring down President Donald Trump in 2018.
In two separate suits, lawyers for a woman accusing Trump of sexual assault and for another woman accusing Trump of engaging in an extramarital affair are using defamation laws to hold the president and his lawyer accountable for allegedly false statements. But perhaps more importantly, lawyers are using these suits as an avenue to request documents and even statements under oath from the president and his surrogates.
