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.

#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.
