The Justice Department is conducting a criminal investigation into a Chicago-based nonprofit organization supported by billionaire Reid Hoffman. The inquiry focuses on the nonprofit’s financing of legal expenses for E. Jean Carroll, an advice columnist who accused President Donald Trump of sexual assault and defamation. This investigation was revealed by two individuals with knowledge of the situation.
Carroll’s statements during her deposition in her civil lawsuit against Trump are central to the probe. A jury previously found Trump guilty of sexually assaulting and defaming Carroll, heightening the importance of the investigation’s findings.
In 2024, E. Jean Carroll was photographed exiting a federal court in New York, marking a significant moment in her ongoing legal battle with the former president.
