YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, the former magazine columnist who accused President Donald Trump of sexual assault, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
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.
Former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin explains why she thinks the investigation is a public relations blunder. Also, CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig and national security attorney Mark Zaid discuss the viability of future legal action against Carroll.
