Justice Department launches criminal investigation into Trumps alleged misconduct claims

The US Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, who has accused former President Donald Trump of sexual abuse.

According to reports, the investigation was initiated after Carroll testified in a lawsuit filed by her against Trump. The lawsuit alleges that Trump sexually assaulted Carroll at a department store in New York City in 1993.

The Department of Justice has also launched an investigation into a nonprofit organization that helped pay for Carroll’s legal fees. The organization, which is aligned with the Democratic Party, has been accused of receiving funding from a donor who was a supporter of Trump’s presidential campaign.

Carroll has previously spoken publicly about her allegations against Trump, and has stated that she believes he is trying to intimidate her into dropping the lawsuit. If the Department of Justice charges Carroll with any crimes related to her testimony, it is likely that she will file a motion for vindictive prosecution, which would seek to punish Trump for his alleged actions.

The investigations are ongoing, and no further information has been released at this time.
