No President in history was victimized more by lawfare than President Trump.
The Trump legal battles just took a shocking turn.
And one criminal investigation just hit Trump like a freight train.
Juries in heavily Democrat New York awarded E. Jean Carroll $88 million in two civil lawsuits against President Trump.
Carroll claimed Trump raped her in a Manhattan department store dressing room in the mid-1990s, even though she couldn’t recall when this alleged assault took place or produce any evidence that it did.
Carroll then sued Trump a second time for defamation when Trump denied her claim.
The left schemed to sue and prosecute Trump in blue citadels like New York and Washington, D.C., where Democrat judges and juries would ensure show trials that resulted in verdicts allowing Democrats to smear Trump as a rapist and a felon.
Now Carroll is the one reportedly facing scrutiny.
CNN broke the news that the Department of Justice opened a criminal investigation into Carroll on allegations she perjured herself during a deposition when she falsely stated no one was funding her lawsuit.
“The investigation is focused on whether Carroll committed perjury in testimony tied to her two civil lawsuits against the president – one alleging he sexually abused Carroll in a New York department store in the mid-1990s, and a second for defaming her when in 2019 he repeatedly denied the assault, said she wasn’t his type and claimed she made it up to boost sales of a book,” the CNN report read.
CNN went on to report that “Senior leaders at the Justice Department referred the investigation to federal prosecutors in Chicago, according to two sources familiar with the matter. While Carroll’s deposition took place in New York, one of the individuals who helped cover some of Carroll’s legal fees, Hoffman, has a nonprofit based in Chicago.”
In the deposition, Trump lawyer Alina Habba asked Carroll, “Is anyone else paying your legal fees, Ms. Carroll?”
“No,” Carroll replied.
This wasn’t true, as tech billionaire Reid Hoffman funded Carroll’s legal fees.
Carroll claimed Trump raped her in the mid 1990s, but never mentioned this alleged assault during the 2016 campaign.
In 2019, Carroll made the accusation and claimed the “#MeToo” movement inspired her.
Washington Examiner columnist Byron York argued Carroll’s true motivation was selling a book she wrote entitled “What Do We Need Men For?”
“Carroll has said she broke the news in a book because she did not want to tell the police or an elected official or a journalist what had happened. Perhaps that is the case. It is also true that writing a book, unlike going to the police, was a way to make money while making news. And in this case, it was a book with a spectacular allegation. In any event, the rape that allegedly happened in 1995 or 1996 did not become public until 2019, when New York ran an excerpt of Carroll’s new book,” York wrote.
