The adjudicated rapist and possible pedophile’s personal law firm has opened up a criminal inquiry into Trump’s victim, E. Jean Carroll. The investigation is said to center on whether Ms. Carroll committed perjury in civil lawsuits against Donald J. Trump, whom she accused of sexual assault.
CNN: The DOJ has launched a new criminal investigation into one of Trump's enemies, E. Jean Carroll. The source is telling CNN that the investigation now is focused on whether she committed perjury during her two civil lawsuits against the president.

Ms. Carroll won a $5 million civil judgment against Mr. Trump that he had sexually abused and defamed her, which the president last November asked the Supreme Court to overturn. She also won a $83.3 million civil judgment against him in another defamation case.
Ms. Carroll’s lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, is said to have recused himself from the probe because of his prior representation of Mr. Trump, although officials from department headquarters have been involved in the probe.
NEW: CNN reports that E. Jean Carroll is being criminally investigated by the DOJ, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter.
