Former President Donald Trump launched a personal attack on Fulton County DA Fani Willis on Tuesday, calling her a racist and accusing her of having an affair with a gang leader she was investigating.
And I probably have another where they say theres a young woman, a young racist in Atlanta, they say racist, Trump declared, referring to a likely fourth indictment.
And they say, I guess they say that she was after a certain gang and she ended up having an affair with the head of the gang or a gang member. And this is a person that wants to indict me. Shes got a lot of problems, but she wants to indict me to try and run for some other office, he claimed, adding:

(38,643 posts)This is defamation per se, since it alleges conduct related to her employment.
He always says "they say" to distance himself from the accusations - to give him deniability. It doesn't work that way with defamtion - if he had an attorney worth their salt they would have told him that.
Anyone who repeats defamation, without verifying its veracity, is liable for defamation. Once this mess is over, she should join E. Jean Carroll in suing Trump into oblivion.

That is a lie, of course. I say it is a lie so that no one is sucked into believing it, that might read this post.
Would the police officer have a case against trump?
Ms. Toad
(38,643 posts)Defamation is
A false statement asserted as fact
about a person who is identifiable from the statement
made with malice (knowledge or reckless disregard) or negligence as to its truth
communicated to at least one other person
the nature of which would tend to lower the reputation of that person in the eyes of the community (some inherently have this nature - like statements made about one's performance of one's job)
Which causes financial harm (this doens't have to be proven if the statement is inherently demeaning)
So it is a statement asserted as fact and it was communicated to at least one other person.
But it fails the other tests because the statement (at least as you are sharing it) is about Ashli Babbit, not the officer
DontBelieveEastisEas
(1,211 posts)But, the statement is also about the shooter. It says that the shooter murdered her, or at least wrongfully killed her.
There may be financial harm in that, as his reputation is harmed. It reflects on how he did his job.
It is certainly demeaning, I think.
I feel repulsed that trump gets away with destroying that mans reputation, while also putting him in harms way.

(77,324 posts)So it was Fani Willis' racism that made you interfere with the Georgia 2020 vote counting?
I wonder who has flipped on TFG in Fani Willis' investigation into TFG? I see that Rudy has
admitted to lying about those 2 pole workers and Lindsey Graham has gotten real quite about
"it" too.

(7,790 posts)Let's see... one of his lawyers has to be in Florida on Thursday? One in DC on Friday. And now this screed to Fani Willis. This sounds like he's gotten some notice that an indictment is about to drop in GA. I could only hope that it drops on Friday!!! How perfectly wonderful that would be. Talk about a no good bad week for *rump! (LOL) Do you think he might be getting the idea now that people are tired of his schtick and are fed up with this national security nightmare?

I'm at a point I never thought I'd be with him. But I wont go any further because of the legal consequences
I'm ashamed.
