The Justice Department reportedly opened an inquiry in May 2026 examining whether E. Jean Carroll committed perjury during 2022 deposition testimony in her civil lawsuits against President Trump, specifically regarding outside funding for legal costs from a nonprofit tied to Reid Hoffman. The Northern District of Illinois U.S. attorney quickly issued a public denial stating no criminal investigation into Carroll herself had been opened or existed, with subsequent reporting indicating any review centered on the funding arrangements rather than perjury charges against her. No federal indictment has been filed in the months since. Carroll prevailed in both civil cases, with the Supreme Court declining further review of one judgment in August 2026. The episode occurs amid broader DOJ scrutiny of Trump critics, though procedural hurdles and the denial have shaped trader assessments of charging prospects.
