The inverted American flag, flown outside Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s home in 2021, has become a rallying symbol of the “Stop the Steal” movement.
Trump is directly responsible for these excesses. In the press conference right after the conviction, he said:
This was a rigged trail by a conflicted judge who was corrupt. (…) This was done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt a political opponent.
These are, of course, allegations that have no basis in fact whatsoever. So I wonder: are there no legal means to prosecute Trump for these blatantly false allegations?
Shouldn’t the mere allegation that the judge was corrupt be enough to sue for defamation? I mean, it has to be enormously damaging to the judge’s reputation if someone makes such serious accusations against him.
