Trump DOJ launches Criminal Probe into E. Jean Carroll

Wednesday, May 27, 2026

The Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, the former Elle magazine columnist who accused President Donald Trump of sexual assault, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

The investigation is allegedly centered around whether Carroll committed perjury during her civil lawsuits against President Trump, after which she was awarded a $5 million judgment, the sources said.

Lawfare?

More like, vindication for any white man being held responsible for their actions.

When Trump wins, MAGA wins, even as America loses.

It's hilarious the child-raping orange leper couldn't tell E Jean Carroll apart from his second wife.

I love the fact that E. Jean elected not to take any money (she was offered) until the case was resolved because the millions of dollars Trumpy owes her (by law) is gathering interest.

Her family will be wealthy for generations now.

Thanks to Trumpy.

I also find it interesting that the case has been on the court docket for years yet the Supremes have delayed the final adjudication of this case at least 12 times.. for Trumpy.
