The US Department of Justice has reportedly launched a criminal investigation into writer E. Jean Carroll, who previously accused Donald Trump of sexual assault and defamation. The probe is focused on whether Carroll gave false testimony about outside funding connected to her lawsuits against Trump. Carroll had earlier won two major civil cases, resulting in millions of dollars in damages awarded against the former president. Trump has continued to deny all allegations and is appealing the rulings in higher courts. The latest development adds a new legal twist to the long-running and highly publicized battle between Trump and Carroll.
