Bonus: How to Fix DOJ Damage (with Barb McQuade)

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JANUARY 25: E. Jean Carroll arrives for her civil defamation trial against former President Donald Trump at Manhattan Federal Court on January 25, 2024 in New York City. Days after winning the New Hampshire primary, former President Trump is scheduled to testify in his civil defamation trial after it was adjourned for several days due to a juror with an illness. The trial is to determine how much money in damages the former president must pay Carroll after public comments that he made both while he was president and after the jury’s verdict in May. Carroll was awarded $5 million in damages in May from the previous lawsuit. (Photo by Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images)
