Judge: No, it's still not Trump's job to smear a woman who says he raped her

A federal judge reminded the Department of Justice that it could not defend Trump in a personal defamation lawsuit.

A federal judge on Wednesday once again told Donald Trump that the Department of Justice cannot serve as his personal defense lawyers in a defamation case filed by a woman who accused Trump of rape.

Journalist E. Jean Carroll, who had accused Trump of raping her in a book published in 2019, filed a defamation lawsuit against him after he denied having met her and accused her of lying.

In September, the Department of Justice announced it was intervening in the lawsuit, claiming Trump was acting in his capacity as president when he denied he raped Carroll and that therefore it was correct for the department to act in his defense.

In October, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan denied the DOJ's request to serve as Trump's lawyers in the case, which essentially would have left taxpayers footing the bill and acknowledged Trump's denials of the rape charge as actions carried out as part of his official duties.
