May 27, 2026 – E. Jean Carroll faces investigation for perjury when saying under oath she had no outside source paying her legal fees

In Email/Dossier/Govt Corruption Investigations, Featured Timeline Entries by Katie Weddington

(…) On Wednesday, it was reported that the Justice Department was investigating whether Carroll perjured herself when she said under oath that no outside source was paying her legal fees.

E. Jean Carroll told then-Trump attorney Alina Habba under oath that no one was helping her pay her legal fees.

However, it was later revealed that billionaire Reid Hoffman was bankrolling Carroll’s legal fees.

On Thursday, the US Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois said E. Jean Carroll is not the target of investigation in Chicago.

“In light of wide-spread reporting and intense media and public interest into the E. Jean Carroll matter in New York, the Chicago U.S. Attorney’s Office can confirm that it has not opened—and has never opened—a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll. Any claim to the contrary is categorically false,” US Attorney Andrew Boutros said.

CBS News reported:

The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into a nonprofit run by billionaire Reid Hoffman that funded a portion of author E. Jean Carroll’s civil litigation against President Trump, several sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

The investigation, which is being led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago, is looking into possible crimes including money laundering, conspiracy and obstruction, the sources said.

CBS News could not immediately learn what prompted the investigation or determine the legal theory of the case. Hoffman could not be immediately reached for comment.

On Wednesday evening, a source familiar with the matter told CBS News that the investigation was focused on whether Carroll had committed perjury during a deposition in connection with her civil lawsuits against Mr. Trump in which she alleged he had sexually abused and defamed her.

On Thursday, however, that source followed up and said Carroll is not the target of the investigation, which is focused on funding that Hoffman’s nonprofit, American Future Republic, provided to help cover some of her legal team’s expenses.

E. Jean Carroll may be the target of a separate investigation.

Carroll previously said that during her deposition, she ‘forgot’ she received funding from Reid Hoffman.

E Jean Carroll being investigated for crimes, as likely are entities or charities tied to Reid Hoffmann given that the investigation is being run out of Chicago.

Hoffmann funded Carroll’s Lawfare suit against President Trump.

So I’ll say something similar to what I just said about Fidelity funding Barfare against Todd Blanche:

So basically, LinkedIn is funding nonsense like Carroll’s suit.

Companies (or their principals) are making money off ordinary Americans only to turn around and use it to try to thwart the political choices made by ordinary Americans.

Meanwhile, you get lectures about DEMOCRACY.

This is bigger than people realize.

E. Jean Carroll is eventually going to go to prison for participating in a “conspiracy” to try and prevent Trump from running for president again.

“The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into E Jean Caroll, the former magazine columnist who accused Donald Trump of sexual assault, according to reports.
The DOJ investigation will focus on whether Carroll committed perjury in her civil lawsuits against the president, sources told CNN and ABC News.”

Perjury charges?

I think Trump is going to win his appeals against her court awarded judgments.

“Earlier this month, a federal appeals court rejected Trump’s attempts to rehear his arguments against Carroll, who has accused the president of repeatedly defaming her.”

“The Department of Justice then announced plans to intervene — and stepped in on the president’s behalf in his appeal to the Supreme Court.”

Why would the DOJ step in on Trump’s behalf, in his appeal to the Supreme Court?

Sounds like the DOJ has some solid evidence.

What was E. Jean Carroll caught lying about?

“Federal prosecutors are looking at a 2022 videotaped deposition statement in which Carroll said that she did not get any outside funding for her lawsuit against Trump. It was later made public that billionaire Reid Hoffman had covered some of Carroll’s expenses and legal fees.”

Did you catch that?

She lied about who was funding her lawsuits.

E. Jean Carroll is NOT the “real target.”

Who is?

Reid Hoffman.

Do you know why Reid Hoffman paid E. Jean Carroll to accuse Trump of rape in a defamation lawsuit?

Reid Hoffman was good friends with Jeffrey Epstein.

“Reid Hoffman had a documented relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, meeting him multiple times between 2013 and 2016, years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction as a registered sex offender.”

“Hoffman visited Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, in November 2014, and hosted Epstein at a 2015 dinner in Palo Alto.”

The billionaire cofounder of Linkedin, was friends with Epstein, emailed him a lot and visited Epstein island, where underage children were sexually abused and tortured.

Could that be why Reid Hoffman was desperate to prevent Trump from running for president again?

E. Jean Carroll lied about her connections to Reid Hoffman and then when they were exposed, she claimed she had no communications with him at all.

Do you think that’s true?

What do you want to bet, that the DOJ is in control of evidence, that Hoffman was coordinating with Carroll and she lied about that too?

FISA goes both ways.

Military intelligence captures all forms of electronic data.

Follow the timeline.

E. Jean Carroll publicly accuses Trump of rape in a book she is pushing back in June 2019.

Then one month later, in July 2019, Epstein gets caught by surprise and arrested in New York.

Panic.

Guess when Reid Hoffman first established his “nonprofit” that funded E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit against Trump?

“Reid Hoffman established the nonprofit American Future Republic in 2019, with specific records indicating its founding date as October 2019.”

“The organization was created as a left-of-center 501(c)(4) social welfare group based in Chicago, Illinois, to fund activist groups and public policy initiatives.”

Hoffman established this nonprofit in October 2019.

One month later, E. Jean Carroll filed her defamation lawsuit against Trump.

Hoffman’s “new” nonprofit, would then go on to fund Carroll’s lawsuits.

I’m sure the timing of all of this was just a coincidence and there is no “evidence of a conspiracy” to frame Trump.

Right?

There are no coincidences.

Reid Hoffman’s nonprofit was based out of Chicago, Illinois.

Guess which prosecutor is bringing these charges against Carroll?

“The investigation, which was first reported by CNN, is being led by US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Andrew Boutros.”
