E. Jean Carroll Won $88M Against Trump for Sexual Abuse. His DOJ Just Opened a Case Against Her.

[00:00:00]The Trump administration is using the Department of Justice to criminally investigate the woman a jury found Donald Trump sexually abused. Let me say that again, slower, because it's somehow real. A federal jury found Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll. They found him liable for defaming her after he called her a liar.

[00:00:20]They ordered him to pay her $88 million across two trials. Both verdicts were upheld on appeal, and now his Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into her, the victim.

[00:00:31]They're investigating the victim. Are you [ __ ] kidding me right now? Here's the supposed crime. They claim Carroll may have committed perjury in a 2022 deposition when she said she hadn't received outside funding for her lawsuit. It later came out that a nonprofit linked to LinkedIn billionaire Reid Hoffman had helped cover some of her legal fees, something her lawyer say she had no direct knowledge of. And here's the part that should make you scream. This exact accusation was already raised in court. It was already litigated. In 2024, a panel of three federal appeals judges looked at it and dismissed it. Done. Over. A court already said it was nothing. So, the Trump DOJ is opening a criminal investigation into a question that has already been asked and answered against an 82-year-old woman whose only crime was beating Trump in court. And I can't talk about this without naming what it is, because it isn't just politics. It's sexual. Look at who Donald Trump's grudges are aimed at. E. Jean Carroll, Stormy Daniels, the women who signed his NDAs, the Epstein victims his Justice Department just quietly stopped trying to help. The pattern isn't Trump goes after his enemies, it's Trump goes after the women who refused to shut up about what he and his friends did to them.

[00:01:40]This is one of the oldest stories in human history. A powerful man using power to punish a woman who told the truth about him. We have a name for this. It's called retaliation. And when you use the United States federal government to do it, it has another name. It's called tyranny. Oh, and here's a fun detail. The acting attorney general, Todd Blanche, had to recuse himself from this investigation. Why?

[00:02:03]Because Todd Blanche personally represented Donald Trump in the Carol appeals before he ran the Justice Department. The guy running the DOJ was Trump's defense lawyer in this exact case. He's so conflicted, he can't be in the room. But, the investigation goes forward anyway. Handed off to a Trump-appointed US attorney in Illinois because, of course, it does. So, let's be clear. A jury found this man, our president, sexually abused a woman. He got hit with an $88 million bill. And now that he runs the federal government, he's using the criminal justice system to come after her. The most powerful man on the planet is hunting an 82-year-old writer because she had the nerve to win.

[00:02:41]E. Jean Carroll has beaten him every single time. My money's on her again.
