| Abstract: | The article focuses on the Department of Justice (DOJ) launching a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, a writer who successfully sued President Donald Trump for sexual abuse and defamation, winning nearly $90 million in civil judgments. Federal prosecutors are examining whether Carroll committed perjury by denying outside funding for her lawsuits, despite billionaire Reid Hoffman having paid some of her legal fees; however, a federal appeals court found no evidence Carroll was personally involved in securing this funding. The investigation is viewed within the context of what is described as President Trump's broader campaign of retribution against perceived enemies. [Extracted from the article] |
