US justice department launches criminal investigation into Trump accuser E Jean Carroll, reports say - BBC
Overview
Federal prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation into whether E. Jean Carroll lied about funding for her civil lawsuit against Donald Trump, focusing on payments for legal fees and assistance from a Chicago nonprofit backed by Reid Hoffman and on statements made under oath. The probe adds a criminal layer to ongoing civil disputes and deposition testimony. A new documentary profile presents Carroll as a barrier‑breaking journalist beyond her role as a Trump accuser, offering a broader public depiction as the investigation proceeds.
