President Donald Trump just busted a Dem megadonor secretly funding a lawsuit against him.
Reid Hoffman, the billionaire behind LinkedIn, has been secretly bankrolling E. Jean Carrollโs defamation lawsuit against Trump, according to court records.
Carroll, a magazine columnist, claimed Trump raped her in the dressing room of a luxury Manhattan department store in the 1990s.
She wrote a tell-all book to cash in and, when Trump called her a liar from the White House, she sued him for defamation.
Hoffman is a sworn enemy of Trump and has made it his mission in life to try to take the 45th president down.
His hatred even strained his personal relationship with onetime Trump backer and fellow billionaire Peter Thiel.
Trump lawyers Alina Habba and Joe Tacopina said:
โThe proposition that Carroll has suddenly โrecollectedโ the source of her funding for this high-profile litigationโwhich has spanned four years, spawned two separate actions, and been before numerous state, federal, and appellate courtsโis not only preposterous, it is demonstrably false.
โIndeed, it simply defies logic to believe that Carrollโs attorneysโfour of whom were present at her depositionโwere unaware that their own firm had โsecured additional funding from a nonprofit organizationโ to bankroll their clientโs various lawsuits and ensure their bills were being paid.โ
Trumpโs lawyers added that Carroll โapparently perjured herself during her deposition.
โHer counsel sat by and allowed her to do so, knowing full well that her testimony was false.
โAnd then they conspired to conceal the truth for nearly six months, only to disclose it on the eve of trial.โ

Carrollโs attorney Roberta Kaplan said:
โThat Carrollโs counsel was able to obtain financial support almost a year after Carroll commenced litigation against Trump has absolutely no bearing on whether Trump sexually assaulted her in Bergdorf Goodman in the mid-1990s.
โFunding obtained by counsel is not a proper topic for discovery, let alone a relevant issue at trial.โ
