0:57Now PlayingThe Justice Department has opened an investigation into the writer E. Jean Carroll over potential perjury tied to her civil lawsuits against President Trump. This is the latest Justice Department probe to target a perceived enemy of the president.
The investigation into E. Jean Carroll is being handled by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Chicago, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity. The investigation is examining whether Carroll committed perjury in a deposition regarding funding tied to civil lawsuits she brought against Trump. Carroll won a $5 million civil judgement against Trump for sexually abusing her decades ago, and another $83 million judgment against him in a defamation suit.
The investigation is the latest launched by Trump's DOJ against the president’s critics or perceived political adversaries.
