She Accused Trump Of Assault. Now The DOJ Is Plotting Revenge. - The Contrarian
The weaponization of federal law enforcement just took a terrifying turn, but an unprecedented legal coalition is officially hitting back!
In this episode of Coffee with Contrarians, Norm Eisen, Katie Phang, and investigative journalist Adam Klasfeld break down a shocking dual-front legal war. We start with the outrageous news of a retaliatory federal perjury investigation targeting E. Jean Carroll. After winning over $88 million across two historic trials, where a unanimous federal jury found Donald Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, Carroll is now being targeted by the Department of Justice over her litigation funding.
Adam and Katie expose the sheer hypocrisy of the move, detailing how the case was corruptly forum-shopped to a Chicago prosecutor because federal attorneys in New York completely refused to touch it following a massive grand jury misconduct scandal.
Then, Norm drops a massive bombshell for the Contrarian community. Our team has officially filed a major case in Florida federal court. Under Federal Rule 60, we are demanding a full judicial investigation into a highly suspicious, potentially collusive $1.8 billion settlement fund at the Department of Justice. - 05/28/2026.
