'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."

Hammer drop exposes Todd Blanche to judge hours before confirmation vote

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's own admissions about FBI negligence in the Epstein case landed in federal court today, hours before his Senate confirmation vote.Survivors' attorneys filed the letter Wednesday before Judge Ryon McCabe in the Southern District of Florida in the case Doe 1 et al. v. United States. The filing suggests the survivors believe Blanche admitted wrongdoing by the FBI in a rush to deflect responsibility for failures in the Epstein case.The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on Blanche's confirmation Thursday morning.The letter cites Blanche's statements at a July 16 meeting with survivors at Justice Department headquarters as grounds to amend the complaint. Plaintiffs said they were "seeking this relief in light of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's very recent statements to survivors."During that meeting, ABC News reported, survivors described Blanche's conduct as "dissatisfactory and contrived" when he dismissed survivor Maria Farmer, telling her that her "call [to the FBI about EpsteinI] was made in 1996," "the case was handled improperly before 2007" and "you got screwed over by the FBI but I cannot fix the FBI's lack of investigation."Those admissions, the filing shows, now sit in a federal court record the day before senators decide Blanche's fate.The underlying lawsuit, filed in September 2024, represents 33 women suing the U.S. government under the Federal Tort Claims Act — a law that allows citizens to sue the federal government for negligence — for the FBI's failures in the Epstein case. They are seeking more than $100 million.The complaint alleges the FBI received its first credible tip in 1996, when Maria Farmer reported that Epstein and Maxwell had sexually abused her and her sister. The FBI did nothing.It also alleges the FBI ignored child sexual abuse material seized in a 2005 raid of Epstein's Palm Beach mansion, failed to interview victims whose names and phone numbers it already had, and allowed Epstein to judge a beauty pageant in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2007 while under active investigation.Epstein survivor Annie Farmer, who testified at Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal trial, said she left the meeting convinced senators should vote against Blanche, ABC News reported. She called him "abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."Annie Farmer said his evasiveness felt like "a deliberate attempt to claim the Attorney General's office is powerless in this matter.""The FBI has the power to open investigations, not me," Blanche told those assembled inside the meeting, MS NOW reported. "I'm just the attorney general," he added.The meeting only happened because Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), whose vote Blanche needs to clear the Judiciary Committee, demanded it as a condition of his support, ABC News reported. As of Wednesday afternoon, Tillis had still not committed to voting for Blanche's confirmation.That vote is scheduled for Thursday morning.

Gretchen Carlson names who's really calling the shots as Blanche confirmation in jeopardy

Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson called out the shot caller keeping Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche from killing the anti-weaponization fund.Blanche is courting the Senate Judiciary Committee to secure the role of President Donald Trump's attorney general, but he has stopped short of making key concessions that would help make him a shoo-in.Carlson noted that Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) told Blanche to meet with Epstein survivors to secure his vote, and Blanche responded by holding that meeting shortly after. However, Carlson said, "he apparently wasn't even nice in the particular meeting that he was basically told to have," as Epstein survivors reported that Blanche told them to "get to the point."However, Blanche hasn't been so quick to give in to demands by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX). Cornyn asked Blanche to put into writing his vow that Trump's anti-weaponization fund is dead. Blanche refused, despite previously saying that the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund, which critics worry will be used as a slush fund by Trump's allies and January 6 rioters, is dead."What's really interesting is the slush fund must be more important," in Trump's mind, Carlson said. "Because this is what he is saying that he will not sign off on it tonight. It has to be coming from Trump, right?"CNN anchor Erin Burnett agreed, saying, "That's the person who ultimately controls this."Carlson was disturbed, though, that others would even be willing to vote to confirm Blanche. "Why is everyone else who's going to give a yes vote okay with how the Epstein files were handled?" she asked, as Blanche handled their release as deputy AG.

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.
