DOJ Initiates Criminal Investigation into E. Jean Carroll Over Perjury Allegations in Trump Cases
The U.S. Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, who accused President Trump of sexual assault. The investigation focuses on whether Carroll committed perjury during her testimony in two civil lawsuits she won against Trump. These lawsuits involved allegations of sexual abuse in a New York department store and defamation in 2019. The probe, led by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Chicago, stems from a 2022 deposition where Carroll stated she received no outside funding for her lawsuit. However, it was later revealed that Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn's co-founder, had contributed to her legal expenses. Despite the investigation, it is not certain that charges will be filed against Carroll. President Trump has consistently denied all allegations and remains engaged in legal battles with Carroll.
