Justitiedepartementet undersöker uppgifter om mened av E. Jean Carroll

USA:s justitiedepartement inleder enligt uppgift en brottsutredning för att se om E. Jean Carroll begått mened i sina civilmål mot president Donald Trump. Carroll tilldömdes totalt 83,3 miljoner dollar i skadestånd i rättsprocesserna.

Den rapporterade undersökningen granskar även en ideell organisation som finansierat Carrolls rättsliga processer. Carroll, som nu är 82 år och bosatt i delstaten New York, anklagade Trump för första gången 2019 för ett sexuellt övergrepp som hon uppgav ägde rum 25 år tidigare på Bergdorf Goodman. En jury fann tidigare Trump ansvarig för förtal och en mildare form av sexuellt övergrepp, och tilldömde initialt Carroll 5 miljoner dollar. Hennes advokat Roberta Kaplan sade till domstolen att målet var att ge tillräckligt med pengar för att få honom att sluta, varpå summan ökade till 83,3 miljoner dollar. Carroll har diskuterat planer för medlen, inklusive donationer till initiativ för kvinnors reproduktiva rättigheter och rösträtt. Hon har ännu inte mottagit pengarna, enligt rapporten.
