DOJ probes Democratic-allied nonprofit that helped pay E. Jean Carroll’s legal bills - The Washington Post
Overview
Prosecutors are investigating a Chicago nonprofit backed by Reid Hoffman that helped cover E. Jean Carroll’s legal bills, examining whether payments were properly disclosed and whether Carroll made false statements during her deposition in the civil suit against Donald Trump. The probe follows a jury finding that Trump sexually assaulted and defamed Carroll and introduces criminal scrutiny to the funding behind her cases. A recent documentary portraying Carroll as a barrier‑breaking journalist may influence public context around the legal questions under review.
