So now Barr has decided (1) that Trump somehow was acting *in his official capacity as president* when he called E. Jean Carroll a liar for accusing him of sexual assault, and (2) taxpayers should foot the bill for Trump’s defense. Another utter debasement of DOJ by Barr.

A safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine could save countless lives. We need one as soon as possible. But while I see a vaccine as a product of science, President Trump sees it as a political tool. Politics should play no role in this. The Administration must answer the following: — Joe Biden
1: What criteria will be used to ensure a vaccine meets the scientific standard of safety and efficacy?— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) September 9, 2020
The FDA must clarify what criteria it will use, and President Trump must commit to respecting the independent judgment of the non-political professional staff at the FDA.
3: What is the plan to allocate and distribute vaccines to Americans cost-free, safely, equitably, and without politics?— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) September 9, 2020
President Trump should release a detailed distribution plan to ensure every American — not just the wealthy and well-connected — receives the vaccine.
Given his track record, no one can take Trump’s word alone on a COVID-19 vaccine. But with satisfactory answers to these questions, every American can have confidence in a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine. https://t.co/074K1HD9wf— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) September 9, 2020
It seemed to be a slip-up, but the president definitely said tonight, "We are going to be appointing very pro-crime judges." I listened to the clip a dozen times.
