Lawyers for Donald Trump appeared before a federal appeals court on Friday to argue that the US government should take his place as the defendant in a defamation lawsuit filed by writer E Jean Carroll, who has accused him of rape.

Federal law makes it difficult to sue US government employees individually for actions related to their jobs.

Federal courts historically have not permitted defamation claims against federal employees for actions taken in their official capacity, although the definition of official capacity is ambiguous in this situation.
