Carroll won $5 million for sexual abuse and $83 million for defamation — both upheld by juries — yet Hoffman says Trump is using government power to silence critics. The probe targets his nonprofit and payments to Carroll’s legal team, though the Justice Department and Carroll’s team remain silent. Hoffman, a vocal Trump opponent with a $2.2 billion fortune, calls the investigation baseless and dangerous, especially given Carroll’s jury verdicts. Conflicting reports suggest no Chicago investigation exists, while the Supreme Court weighs Trump’s appeals. Hoffman’s past ties to Jeffrey Epstein also add to the scrutiny.
