As Susie Madrak reported earlier, the DOJ has determined that former President Donald Trump is no longer immune from E. Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuit over comments he made about the writer while he was president. At the end of Susie's post, she wrote, "Just can't keep his mouth shut, can he?" And like clockwork, Trump continued to defame Carroll.

Trump aired his grievances on his struggling Truth Social platform. It's as if he wants to be sued again.

"The DOJ will not defend me in the E. Jean Carroll civil case, which is all part of the political Witch Hunt, lawyered up by a political operative who I just beat in another case, financed by a big political funder, and "judged" by a Clinton appointee who truly hates "TRUMP," he wrote while putting his name in quotes for no explainable reason. "The statements that I made about Carroll are all true. I didn't Rape her (I won that at trial) and other than for this case, I have NO IDEA WHO SHE IS, WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE, OR ANYTHING ABOUT HER."

He does know what she looks like. Lumpy mistook an old photo of her for his ex-wife, Marla Maples.

"The Carroll civil case against me is a Miscarriage of Justice and a total Scam. The trial was very unfair, with the other side being able to do and present virtually anything they wanted, and our side being largely and wrongfully shut down by an absolutely hostile, biased, and out of control judge," he continued. "My lawyers, due to their respect for the Office of the President and the incredulity of the case, did not want me to testify, or even be at the trial."

"The net result of this horrible INJUSTICE, where a completely unknown to me woman made up a ridiculous story, wrote it in a book to increase publicity and sales, I correctly disputed the story and got sued for Defamation, whereupon a hostile Judge and Jury shockingly awarded a woman who I don't know, have never known, and don't want to know, $5,000,000, while at the same time throwing out the Fake Rape claim," he added. "WE ARE STRONGLY APPEALING THIS TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE!!!"

And this filing gets the ball rolling for the lawsuit to proceed to trial in January, making this the second time Trump has faced Carroll in court in less than a year. So yeah, he knows what she looks like. That's not the only case the twice-indicted clown has to worry about, but I'm sure special counsel Jack Smith sits back and takes notes when Trump posts. He can't stop confessing to his crimes.
