    Not sure how a state level civil defamation case would make it to the federal criminal level without bending the whole criminal justice system.

    From the DoJ website:

    NOTE: The Department of Justice has no authority to intervene in matters of state law. The Department of Justice can assume jurisdiction only when there has been a violation of federal law.

      You think Trump cares about that? Or the cronies he’s bringing in to run DoJ? They’ll find a way.

        He/they will just say she lied and falsely accused him and that should be investigated/prosecuted. Where the case originally was held won’t matter then.
