'My goodness': Jaws drop as Trump nominee's law firm joins attack on E. Jean Carroll

Lawyers are reacting with shock after a white-shoe law firm officially joined the fight against an $83.3 million verdict writer E. Jean Carroll won against President Donald Trump.Sullivan & Cromwell — whose partner Jamie McDonald was sworn in Wednesday as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, the country's most prestigious federal prosecutor's office — filed a petition Tuesday asking the Supreme Court to overturn the verdict, Bloomberg Law reported.McDonald had served as a personal lawyer to Trump at Sullivan & Cromwell before the president nominated him to his current post, Politico reported."This is shocking," New York criminal defense attorney Scott Greenfield wrote on X, reacting to the firm's move."My goodness. There it is. The once-venerated white-shoe New York law firm of @sullcrom is representing an adjudicated rapist in a case brought by the victim," attorney and Democratic congressional candidate George Conway wrote on X."I never thought I would live to see something like this. Wow," Conway added.Carroll, a former magazine advice columnist, alleged Trump sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s. She sued after Trump denied the allegation while serving as president in 2019.A jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation in 2023, awarding Carroll $5 million, CNBC reported.A second jury awarded her $83.3 million for defamation in January 2024. Both verdicts were upheld on appeal, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Trump's challenge to the $5 million award last month, CNBC reported."I practiced law for 40 years. The most valuable thing I ever had was my credibility & good reputation with the court and fellow counsel," New York attorney Catherine Cullen wrote on Bluesky. "Sullivan & Cromwell just tossed theirs in the trash."When Sullivan & Cromwell took Trump on as a client last year, firm co-chair Robert Giuffra promised partners it would stay out of the Carroll cases, the Wall Street Journal reported.Giuffra reversed course after Trump's personal lawyer Boris Epshteyn pushed the firm to take on the Carroll matter, prompting a revolt among some partners, the Journal reported.Sullivan & Cromwell has become a direct pipeline to top Justice Department posts, Politico reported. McDonald's predecessor at the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, was also a Sullivan & Cromwell alum.The petition asks the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that Trump's White House statements denying Carroll's allegations were official presidential acts shielded by immunity — and to wipe out the $83.3 million judgment."What's most astonishing about this is S&C doesn't need the fees, and Trump usually stiffs his lawyers," Conway wrote on X in a follow-up post.The petition was filed the day before McDonald was sworn in as U.S. Attorney.

John Thune slams Trump's 'different form of math' as election battle heats up

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has lost patience with President Donald Trump's strong-arm tactics to pass a bill that can't be passed.The president has grown increasingly obsessed in recent months with passing the SAVE America Act, a package of new voting restrictions so draconian that even the vast majority of state driver's licenses wouldn't be eligible as voter ID without also providing a birth certificate. Senate Republicans do not have the votes either to overcome a Democratic filibuster, or to change Senate rules to make passage easier.Thune has been very blunt that the votes aren't there. But on Wednesday, Trump insisted he didn't know what he was talking about, saying Thune did in fact have the votes and just wasn't letting it get to a vote.In response to reporters telling him Thune said there was no path to passage, he simply said, "That's too bad for him and too bad for the Republican Party."Later in the afternoon, Thune lashed out at Trump's flippant denials of reality.“That must be a different form of math,” said Thune in response to Trump's claim that the votes were there to pass the bill.Trump's other allies are beginning to come to grips with the fact that the legislation won't happen. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who recently signed into law his own state-level version of the SAVE America Act, posted to X, "I think the chance the Senate actually passes a real SAVE Act before the August break is basically zero. Happy to be wrong about this, but I don't think I am."

Trump seethes at Supreme Court for 'negative rulings' in blistering rant

President Donald Trump was furious with the Supreme Court on Wednesday, unleashing accusations against the justices.Trump wrote his rant on his Truth Social platform and included several claims."Does anybody have any idea how much Money and Prestige the United States Supreme Court has cost our Nation with their negative Rulings on Birthright Citizenship and TARIFFS? The answer, TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS!" Trump wrote.Trump's attorneys have asked the Supreme Court to overturn the $83.3 million defamation loss to E. Jean Carroll, the columnist who accused him of sexual assault. Trump has denied Carroll's claim that he sexually assaulted her in the 1990s, but he lost Carroll's defamation suit and an appeal in federal court.Trump has faced multiple losses against the high court.The Supreme Court has pushed back on two parts of Trump's policy agenda: birthright citizenship and tariffs. In February, the high court ruled 6–3 in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the President to impose tariffs, striking down the sweeping global tariffs he had imposed under that law. And in June, the Court ruled 6–3 in Trump v. Barbara. The justices determined that Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship "cannot be reconciled with the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which confers citizenship on anyone 'born … in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.'" It upheld automatic citizenship for children born on U.S. soil regardless of their parents' immigration status.
