In this Revolver News article, the site argues that E. Jean Carroll’s legal victory against President Trump may now face a serious credibility challenge over questions about who funded her case.
- Revolver claims Carroll’s original allegations against Trump were always politically motivated and lacked hard evidence, eyewitnesses, or a clear date.
- The article says the Department of Justice has reportedly opened a criminal investigation into whether Carroll committed perjury during her civil lawsuits against Trump.
- The central issue is Carroll’s deposition testimony, in which she allegedly said no one else was paying her legal fees.
- Revolver points to later reporting that billionaire Democrat donor Reid Hoffman helped fund Carroll’s case through a nonprofit called American Future Republic.
- The article highlights a resurfaced video clip in which Hoffman reportedly acknowledged funding the case, framing it as a direct contradiction of Carroll’s testimony.
- Revolver argues the funding question matters because it goes to credibility, motive, and whether the case was part of a broader political effort against Trump.
- The piece also attacks Carroll personally, portraying her as unstable and suggesting the media ignored red flags because she served an anti-Trump narrative.
- Revolver concludes that the legal and political story may now reverse, with Carroll potentially facing scrutiny after years of being celebrated by Trump’s critics.
