DOJ Investigates E. Jean Carroll Over Perjury in Trump Civil Case
Description
The US Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into writer E. Jean Carroll, focusing on whether she committed perjury during her civil litigation against Donald Trump. According to reports from CBS News and CNN, the probe centers on a 2022 deposition in which Carroll denied receiving outside funding for her legal fees. Subsequent court filings revealed that LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman had provided financial support through a non-profit organization. This investigation follows multiple civil judgments where Trump was found liable for sexual assault and defamation, totaling eighty-eight million dollars. While Trump has appealed these verdicts to the Supreme Court, the criminal inquiry into Carroll introduces new legal complexities. Meanwhile, political shifts continue in Texas as Ken Paxton ousts Senator John Cornyn, and Jill Biden reflects on the health concerns that preceded the 2024 presidential transition.
