Does this mean he can't use the DoJ as his personal lawyers?

I don't know if he absolutely technically can't. It could be one of those things nobody ever assumed they'd need to write a rule to prevent a president from doing. But if it's not a rule I'm sure anyone he talks to in DOJ will tell him it's a rule.
Will Trump get burned in this overreach? Success in a libel suit requires proving the defendant knew they were lying and did so to harm you. All WSJ has to do to win is show that they believe it.Oh Trump...Trump...Trump....

WSJ claimed the Trump–Epstein article was an “exclusive.” But what if I told you they fully intended to show it to people? https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.693830/gov.uscourts.flsd.693830.1.0.pdf

I don't think he even intends to try it; "pro se" means he's representing himself.
I want the WSJ and co CALL him on that. I think he’s trying to bluff to get an easy settlement, but I’d love to see him get called on this nonsense.
Which means the lawyers quitting the DoJ has greatly affected his ability to sue folks OR his personal lawyers told him there's no way he can win this and won't touch it with a ten foot pole.
I mean, let's be real for a second here. It's the wall street journal and rupert murdoch: we KNOW they're lying. It's literally their whole shtick. But I hope they fight this so we can see if they can successfully lie to a judge.
Is "they" switching around a lot here?
No, not at all.
I think it doesn't matter: only what happens in the trial. Will murdoch settle or fight trump? Either way, it'll be something.

Treason for alleging that Russia influenced the 2016 election?
By all means, dig up the Russian interference in the 2016 election. Put the whole thing out in public and see how that goes.
Hard to do when the current CEO has completely gutted the entertainment infrastructure the prior CEO spent years building.
I know right, we're finally almost at the point where all those maga chuds start going "what else did he lie to me about?" and he's bringing up his OTHER major lie. I don't know if it's the dementia, or trump and his handlers are just that ******* stupid.
Although, given how republicans act in general, it honestly seems like they are just that ******* stupid.
