#Clinton v. Jones #Case Summary
By Laura Temme, Esq. | Legally reviewed by Joseph Fawbush, Esq. | Last reviewed August 29, 2023

..."Paula Corbin Jones filed a #lawsuit in 1994 alleging that #President Bill Clinton had sexually harassed her when he was governor of Arkansas. By the time she filed a sexual harassment lawsuit, he was president -- and claimed the presidency made him #immune to civil #litigation.

The case led to an important ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1997. It also propelled former White House intern Monica Lewinsky into the national spotlight when court documents became public.

The #SupremeCourt held that nothing in the #Constitution protects the president from civil lawsuits while they are in office. And President Clinton was eventually impeached for lying under oath."...

And now for something completely different....

Trump sues Cohen for $500M and then realizes, oops, Cohen wants a deposition.

Saving you 5' of this 12min vid, thin-sliced (intro/1st 5 minutes):
Trump sued Michael Cohen frivolously, for $500 in damages he imagines he's owed (really for vengeance; what he does)
So Cohen was entitled to a speedy deposition, though Trump tried to delay it until 90 days post-election, 16 months from now!
And then Trump asked for confidentiality (Cohen wants to play the tape, for 'transparency') and Trump may plead the 5th beyond stating his name. Which is more than a little weird, because ... Trump brought the case! But now he wants $500M and no
testimony.

Here it is, different than the other #TrumpVirus news/indictments of the day... this one brought by Trump and now he's in a trap!
You can fast forward to 5 minutes in if you've read the above (context), and at just after 5 minutes, Michael Cohen summarizes.
It's funny at times, &/or mind-boggling. But like hearing from Mary Trump, this guy knows Donald well, and how he rolls... THIN-SLICE:

Trump ADMITS he is Terrified of DEPOSITION by Michael Cohen in NEW Court Filing

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on a new court filing by Donald Trump in the $500 million lawsuit Trump filed against Michael Cohen in Florida federal court. In the new motion, a terrified Donald Trump requests a protective order in the case be entered by the federal judge because of his “reputational interests” and “fifth amendment concerns.” Michael Cohen issues a direct response to Trump.
