The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, the 82-year-old former magazine writer who accused President Donald Trump of sexual assault, according to two people with direct knowledge of the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The investigation centers on whether Carroll committed perjury in lawsuits against Trump, according to the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. Carroll won a $5 million civil judgment against Trump that he had sexually abused and defamed her, which the president in November asked the Supreme Court to overturn. She also won a $83 million civil judgment against him in another defamation case.<\/span><\/p>\n

An inquiry into Carroll would represent the latest chapter in Trump\u2019s retribution campaign, which has been carried out by Justice Department officials. A number of figures who brought criminal and civil cases against Trump have come under the department\u2019s scrutiny, including former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James and other adversaries of the president.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
