The Justice Department is investigating E. Jean Carroll for potential perjury in her civil litigation against Donald Trump, who accused her of making up assault claims. The investigation is led by Chicago federal prosecutors, with acting Attorney General Todd Blanche excluded due to prior work with Trump. Trump has denied the allegations, calling them a 'made-up scam,' while juries previously found him liable in two related cases.
