In another move in the campaign of retaliation that the Donald Trump administration has launched against its enemies, the Department of Justice has reportedly opened a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, the journalist who first accused Trump of sexual abusing her in a department store dressing room and who later won a case ordering the president to also pay her $83 million for defamation (he had called her, among other things, βmentally illβ).
