Carlson expressed frustration that the DOJ is “spending time on cases that, as per legal experts, lack validity,” and claimed the charges against Carroll and other opponents of Trump are “all part of a mission driven by one individual, the president of the United States, who is on a campaign for revenge.”

Carroll has won two defamation cases against Trump following his accusations that she lied and his rejection of her claims. The Department of Justice has also targeted the former FBI director.James Comey, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and anti-ICE protesters.

She stated, “There are numerous other cases” for the DOJ to examine, and felt that other Americans should be questioning, “What are we doing? What are our tax dollars funding with this Department of Justice?”
