Judge: U.S. Can't Replace Pres. Trump In Defamation Suit

The video discusses a defamation lawsuit involving President Trump, accused by E Jean Carroll of rape in the 1990s. The Justice Department argued for replacing Trump as the defendant, citing his presidential role. However, a judge ruled that federal employee protections do not apply to the president, and Trump's statements were outside his employment scope.

According to the judge, how is the President of the United States classified in relation to being an employee of the government?

What would have been the implication if President Trump were considered an employee regarding his allegedly defamatory statements?
