Crucial Quote<\/h2>\n

\u201cTrump hopes that these fraudulent investigations will silence those who stand up to him,\u201d Hoffman wrote on X on Friday, referring to the reported probe into him and other criminal investigations the DOJ has launched against Trump\u2019s enemies. \u201cHe is wrong. I will not bend the knee.\u201d<\/p>\n

What To Watch For<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s unclear how far along the DOJ\u2019s reported investigation into Hoffman is, though The Times reports it\u2019s overseen by \u201ctop officials\u201d at the agency with the exception of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who reportedly recused himself from the probe given he formerly served as Trump\u2019s personal attorney. The DOJ is handling the investigation through its office in Chicago, according to The Washington Post, and is considering potential charges of money laundering, obstruction and conspiracy. It remains to be seen whether the investigation will actually result in any charges, which would have to be approved by a grand jury, and how long it could take before any indictment could come out. The Post reports it\u2019s also still possible the criminal probe could eventually examine Carroll and result in charges against her, though she\u2019s not a subject of the investigation at this point.<\/p>\n

Hoffman\u2019s Connection To Carroll, Explained<\/h2>\n

Hoffman and American Future Republic helped to pay legal expenses in Carroll\u2019s case, and The Post reports the DOJ is investigating whether the nonprofit may have directed Carroll to lie in her deposition about the funding. Dmitri Mehlhorn, an advisor to Hoffman, previously claimed the billionaire donated money to the nonprofit before Carroll\u2019s lawsuits were filed and did not know his money would be spent on those cases specifically, and alleged clients that receive funds through the nonprofit typically don\u2019t know where they came from. Carroll\u2019s attorneys have maintained she never spoke with the nonprofit and did not intentionally fail to disclose the funding, alleging she only later recalled \u201cher counsel at some point secured additional funding from a nonprofit organization to cover certain expenses and fees.\u201d Trump\u2019s attorneys used Hoffman\u2019s involvement as an argument to fight the litigation and have it thrown out, and Carroll sat for another deposition on the topic, though that has never been released publicly. The argument over Hoffman\u2019s donations didn\u2019t hurt Carroll\u2019s ability to win her litigation against Trump, however, and the president\u2019s attorneys were barred from discussing it at trial. <\/p>\n

Key Background<\/h2>\n

The reported investigation into Hoffman and Carroll is the latest in a string of investigations the DOJ has opened into the president\u2019s political enemies. Those investigations have already led to charges against Trump rivals like former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James and former White House advisor John Bolton, and other Trump critics reportedly under investigation include former Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell and Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., among others. None have yet been successful. No one has gone to trial or been convicted of any crimes, and multiple grand juries and judges have rejected indictments, resulting in charges not able to be brought or cases being thrown out. The slew of investigations has prompted widespread criticism that Trump is purposely targeting his political enemies as \u201cretribution,\u201d rather than because of legitimate allegations of wrongdoing, after the president was himself indicted multiple times during his years out of office.<\/p>\n
