Trump’s Personal Legal Bills Aren’t Taxpayer Charity—Stop Funding His Court Battles I am writing to express my outrage over Donald Trump using the Department of Justice, the Supreme Court, and taxpayers’ hard-earned money to escape accountability for his personal misconduct. According to recent reporting, the Justice Department is actively urging the Supreme Court to toss an $83 million defamation judgment awarded to E. Jean Carroll. Government lawyers are relying on the Westfall Act to argue that defaming a private citizen after being accused of sexual assault falls within the "official scope" of the presidency. It is completely unacceptable for public resources to be deployed as a personal legal defense shield for Trump's abhorrent conduct. The DOJ exists to uphold justice for the American people, not to absorb personal liability for a politician’s private misdeeds. I urge you to take immediate action to curb this blatant abuse of power and ensure federal agencies and tax dollars are never misused to shield presidents (or congressional representatives) from personal accountability. Trump is already stealing so much money from us as it is.
