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 Dem in Alabama’s special election for the U.S. Senate. Hoffman’s money has made some waves in the Carroll case because, in her October 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.”
