turning back to a story that broke exactly 24 hours ago, that reversal from doj not to defend donald trump, it is opening trump up to even more legal vulnerability when it comes to his ongoing statements about e. jean carroll. doj announced it will no longer because it no longer believes that trump was acting within the scope of his presidential duties in 2019 when he allegedly defamed e. jean carroll while denying her rape accusation. this move gives carroll a boost in her defamation case that has so far been stalled in appeals. carroll won a separate lawsuit in may which found trump liable for sexually abusing her and defaming her in comments he made after he was no longer president. as proof that the ex-president still has not learned any of his lessons to keep his mouth closed among them, this morning he went on social media and rampaged against doj s ruling. he attacked e. jean carroll saying she made up this, quote, ridiculous story for her book.
