What is the DOJ investigating?

The DOJ is investigating whether E. Jean Carroll committed perjury when she stated she received no outside funding for her lawsuits against Donald Trump. Billionaire Reid Hoffman’s nonprofit reportedly helped pay some legal fees.

Is E. Jean Carroll the target of the investigation?

No, sources say the investigation focuses more on Hoffman’s nonprofit and the funding of Carroll’s lawsuits rather than Carroll herself.

What were the outcomes of Carroll’s lawsuits against Trump?

Carroll won two lawsuits against Trump: one for sexual abuse and defamation in 2023, resulting in $5 million in damages, and another for defamation in 2024, which awarded her $83 million.

Why did Attorney General Todd Blanche recuse himself?

Blanche recused himself due to his prior role as a personal attorney for Trump during the Carroll lawsuits.

What could happen next in this investigation?

The DOJ could uncover evidence that clarifies the funding behind Carroll’s lawsuits, potentially affecting her credibility or Hoffman’s nonprofit operations. This could also lead to additional legal challenges.
