The Justice Department has opened an investigation into whether E. Jean Carroll, the longtime advice columnist who has said President Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in a Manhattan department store 30 years ago, lied during the course of civil litigation against the Republican president, according to a person familiar with the matter.

    Love how the article is still pretending she was a victim of alleged assault despite courts ruling she was raped. Wow AP, you have fallen.

      Courts ruled she was sexually abused, not raped. The judge said the assault fit the colloquial usage of “rape” but not the narrower legal definition.

      Not that it really matters. Trump is a rapist.
