CNN first reported on the launch of the new probe, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter, and said that it will focus on whether Carroll committed perjury in testimony related to those lawsuits.

Then in 2024, another jury directed Trump to pay Carroll an additional $83.3 million in damages for defaming her in 2019, when he denied her rape claim, and continued to speak against her on social media and in news conferences. Earlier this month, an appeals court agreed to a request made by the President’s legal team to defer the payment until the U.S. Supreme Court could review the case.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has reportedly been recused from the department probe, having worked as one of Trump's personal attorneys on the Carroll appeals, a source told Reuters.

TIME did not immediately hear back from the Justice Department, or from Roberta Kaplan, Carroll’s lawyer.

Since returning to the White House last year, Trump, through Administration officials, has targeted former FBI Director James Comey, former Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Sen. Adam Schiff (D, Calif.), among others, in cases criticized by Democrats as politically motivated.
