E. Jean Carroll’s $88.3 million court victory against the president is back in the spotlight after it was reported by numerous news outlets on Thursday, May 28, 2026, that the Department of Justice launched a criminal investigation into her. The alleged probe was to ascertain if Carroll committed perjury during a 2022 deposition in her civil lawsuits against Donald Trump, specifically over claims she made about not receiving outside financial help for her legal battles, centering on a check that surfaced nearly six months after that deposition.
