Trump largely celebrated the outcome on Monday, calling it a “BIG WIN” on Truth Social and saying that it confirms “Presidential Power in our Country to remove Executive Branch Officers and Agency Appointees, or Representatives.”
“This Decision was long sought by United States Presidents, dating all the way back to the 1930s,” he continued. “It is such an Honor to be the sitting President who won this Historic and Unprecedented Ruling, one of the most important ever given with respect to Presidential Powers.”
E. Jean Carroll case
Also on Monday, the Supreme Court declined Trump’s request to take up the civil case that writer E. Jean Carroll filed against him, in which he was ordered to pay Carroll $5 million in damages after a jury found that he sexually abused and defamed her.
Trump slammed the outcome on Truth Social.
“Surprisingly, the Supreme Court declined to ‘review’ a Fake Case brought against me by a woman I never met,” he said. “I will continue the fight against this Weaponization and Lawfare Case against me, including the ridiculous claim of Defamation, with all of my power and strength. This Case is really against the United States of America, and all it stands for, and should never be allowed to happen to another President, or Candidate to be!”
