Lawyers for the writer E. Jean Carroll say the Department of Justice should not be allowed to stand in for President Trump in his appeal of a jury's decision to award her $83.3 million.*Huey » 12 Apr 2025, 10:51 am » wrote: ↑ Now, the billionaire is pointing the finger at California, New York and Massachusetts, claiming they are responsible for receiving the bulk of the fraudulent funds - $305 million, to be exact, Fox News reported.

'High taxes, poor stewardship of taxpayer dollars and progressive policies continue to yield negative results, which is why Americans overwhelmingly support the work of DOGE.'
California bore a significant share of the misuse, as the agency said the West Coast state was responsible for a staggering 68 percent of unemployment benefits.
According to DOGE, these payments - some made to individuals on the terrorist watchlist or with criminal records - occurred during Joe Biden's presidency.

Ca, Ny and Ma. WTF is going on in those states.
It's the second time Mr. Trump has sought the Justice Department's protection in the case, but Carroll's attorneys said his "13th hour" effort "comes nearly two years too late."
After the Justice Department reversed course in 2023, the judge presiding over the case gave Mr. Trump a July 13, 2023 deadline to further pursue the Westfall issue. He did not. Carroll's lawyers wrote he instead pursued the "last-ditch claim of presidential immunity," which was rejected — as it relates to this case — later that year.
