The Department of Justice opened a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll in May 2026, focusing on her accusations and related statements in the civil proceedings against President Trump. This followed years of appeals in the two Manhattan federal jury verdicts—one awarding $5 million (plus interest, paid in July 2026) for sexual abuse and defamation, and another for $83.3 million in additional defamation damages still under review. Trump and the DOJ have petitioned the Supreme Court on issues including the Westfall Act substitution and presidential immunity, with the Court’s October 2026 term as a potential decision point. No federal charges have been filed against Carroll as of late August 2026, though the probe represents the primary catalyst for trader assessment of charging likelihood.
