President Donald Trump is committing impeachable offenses at a dizzying clip, weaponizing the federal government against his enemies and lining his pockets with taxpayer dollars. In his latest offense, Trump’s Department of Justice is criminally investigating E. Jean Carroll, the writer whose lawsuits led to Trump being found liable for sexual abuse and defamation. According to CNN, the DOJ is investigating Carroll for perjury, claiming that she lied in a 2022 deposition in her ultimately successful lawsuit against Trump. DOJ prosecutors say Carroll perjured herself when she said her lawsuit against Trump wasn’t being financed by any outside entities. But before the trial was set to begin, Carroll’s lawyers told the judge and Trump attorney Alina Habba that billionaire Reid Hoffman covered some of the trial expenses.
Habba—whom Trump later appointed to serve as a U.S. attorney until a judge kicked her out—had accused Carroll’s lawyers during the trial of having “conspired to conceal the truth for nearly six months.”
Yet a judge blocked Trump’s legal team from asking about how Carroll’s lawsuit was being financed during the trial, which Carroll went on to win.
Trump’s DOJ going after Carroll is clearly a revenge effort. He is livid that she was awarded nearly $90 million in damages between two separate cases—$5 million for damages related to the alleged sexual abuse and another $83 million for defamation. (Trump has been appealing both decisions for years and is now hoping the Supreme Court, which he stacked with right-wing hacks, will throw out the cases and prevent Carroll from receiving the funds awarded to her.)
“This is an unbelievable abuse of power,” Democratic Rep. Adam Smith of California told CNN on Wednesday.
Should've known that the Rapist-in-Chief would go after her. SAY ‘NO’ TO WAR! RESIST!
WOW. He must REALLY want to keep Epstein out of the news
Either that or he's a f◇cking IDIOT who is so damn STUPID that he doesn't grasp a thing about the fact that voters are rapidly turning against him and millions already want to see him IMPEACHED so may very well punish his party to see it done.
Not that he cares, of course. But if they do take it out on the GOP, he will be gone "tout de suite".
Indeed. You can't push Christianity and the immorality of your opponents
When a convicted sexual abuser, molester, deviant and rapist is allowed and ENCOURAGED to pursue criminal investigation of his victims, we are fully upside down.
MAGA who defend this must be shunned, scorned, and socially punished until they see their error. You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony
