DOJ Probes Carroll for Possible Perjury in Trump Lawsuits

The Justice Department is investigating whether E. Jean Carroll lied under oath about outside funding in her civil cases against Donald Trump. The probe, led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of Illinois, centers on a 2022 deposition in which Carroll said she had no outside funding, despite later disclosures that Reid Hoffman helped fund some legal costs. Carroll has two verdicts against Trump totaling about $88 million in damages. The investigation was first reported by CNN and CBS News cited sources familiar with the matter.
