Trump sex abuse accuser E. Jean Carroll under DOJ perjury investigation over Reid Hoffman funding | 28 May 2026 | The Justice Department is examining whether longtime advice columnist E. Jean Carroll committed perjury in testimony related to her two civil lawsuits against President Trump. CNN reported that investigators are examining Carroll’s claim during a 2022 deposition that neither of her lawsuits were funded by outside sources, though Reid Hoffman, the billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn and a Democratic megadonor, was later revealed to have paid some legal fees and expenses via his Chicago-based nonprofit American Future Republic.
