Justice Department opens criminal probe into E. Jean Carroll - nbcnews.com
Overview
Federal prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into whether E. Jean Carroll lied about funding and payments tied to her lawsuits accusing Donald Trump, scrutinizing support from backers including a Chicago nonprofit linked to Reid Hoffman and possible false statements under oath. The inquiry adds a criminal dimension to the civil litigation. A new documentary meanwhile seeks to broaden public understanding of Carroll by portraying her as a barrier‑breaking journalist, which could shape perceptions as the probe continues.
