Byron York: “Tech billionaire Reid Hoffman is bankrolling Carroll’s case. Like so many others involved on Carroll’s side, Hoffman is profoundly anti-Trump. He is also not afraid to push the envelope of anti-Trumpism; in 2018, he apologized for funding a group that secretly imitated Russian disinformation tactics in an attempt to benefit the Democrat in Alabama’s special election for the U.S. Senate. Hoffman’s $ has made some waves in the Carroll case because, in her Oct 2022 deposition, Carroll denied that anyone was paying her legal fees. Here is what Carroll said:
Q: Are you presently paying your counsel’s fees?
A: This is a contingency case.
Q: So you’re not paying expenses or anything out of pocket to date. Is that correct?
A: I’m not sure about expenses. I have to look that up.
Q: Is anyone else paying your legal fees, Ms. Carroll?
A: No.
As the trial approached, Kaplan, Carroll’s lawyer, wrote to the Trump legal team to admit that what Carroll said was not true.”
