Justice Department launches criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll case

The Justice Department has initiated a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, an accuser of former US President Donald Trump.

According to reports, the investigation was launched after the Department of Justice referred the case to prosecutors in Chicago. The exact nature of the allegations against Carroll is not specified.

Carroll had previously accused Trump of raping her at a hotel in New York City in 1993. Trump has denied the allegations.

The investigation is ongoing, and it is unclear what charges, if any, may be brought against Carroll or Trump.

Prosecutors in Chicago have been referred to the case, but no further information is available on the status of the investigation.

Carroll had previously filed a civil lawsuit against Trump, which was settled out of court. The Justice Department’s involvement in the criminal investigation suggests that prosecutors are considering potential charges related to the allegations made by Carroll.

The investigation is ongoing, and any developments will be reported as they become available.
