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.

Trump Confronts Ongoing Civil Lawsuits Amid Political Turmoil

Donald Trump faces eight civil lawsuits related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, despite the collapse of criminal cases against him.

A key issue is whether Trump is immune from these suits due to his presidential role. The cases could proceed during his potential second term, with significant financial liabilities at stake. Trump's legal battles extend beyond Jan. 6, including defamation and fraud cases, adding to his legal challenges.
