Prosecutors’ theory hinges on a 2022 deposition statement by Carroll, 82, that she received no outside funding for her lawsuit, though it was later revealed that billionaire Reid Hoffman had paid some legal fees & expenses.
…The probe is the latest move in the #DOJ’s ceaseless, & strained, efforts to meet #Trump’s demands to target his long-standing personal foes.

Under acting Attorney General #ToddBlanche, the #DOJ has pushed to speed up #Trump’s campaign of #retribution. But the cases he’s brought since taking the reins of the department in April have been heavily criticized & are likely to face challenges in court over allegations of politicization.

It’s unclear whether prosecutors had implicated #DelcyRodríguez in any crimes or whether investigators were moving toward an indictment. A #DOJ spox claimed in an email “there was never an investigation into her to shut down.”
But #DEA records obtained by AP earlier this year show she consistently surfaced on the radar of federal law enforcement dating to at least 2018, though she has never been criminally charged in the US like several other senior Venezuelan officials.
Despicable
#DOJ launches a criminal investigation into #Trump #rape survivor #EJeanCarroll
The investigation is focused on whether Carroll committed perjury in testimony tied to her 2 civil lawsuits against Trump–one when testifying about the #SexualAssault by Trump in a NY department store in the mid-1990s, & another for defaming her when in 2019 he repeatedly denied the assault, said she wasn’t his type & claimed she made it up to boost book sales.
#DOJ news releases that detailed #guilty pleas, #jury #verdicts & #prison #sentences abruptly disappeared from “government” websites last week.
The “Justice” Dept defended the move, saying, "We are proud to reverse the DOJ's weaponization under the Biden administration. We will do everything in our power to make whole those who were persecuted for political purposes. This includes stripping DOJ's website of partisan propaganda."

#Trump #DOJ mass-deletes info on #Jan6 #insurrection cases, including violent assaults on cops
The Trump admin has mass-deleted information about prosecutions tied to the Jan. 6, 2021, violent attack on the US #Congress, including cases of defendants who committed & were convicted of #assault of #police officers. The removals mark the latest phase of Trump's effort to rewrite the history of his violent #SeditiousConspiracy.
Umm… say what now???
🚨🚨🚨
The agreement the #DOJ made with #Trump to settle his lawsuit against the #IRS includes a provision BARRING the agency from pursuing #tax claims against Trump, his family or his businesses. The new provision was released a day after DOJ agreed to settle Trump’s lawsuit by creating a $1.8 billion compensation fund for people *he believes* were wronged by federal investigations or prosecutions.
