Tarana Burke: the founder of the MeToo movementOn Wednesday, Time magazine published its comprehensive list of "The Most Influential People of 2024" featuring both E. Jean Carroll, a former Elle columnist, and Department of Justice's (DOJ) Special Counsel Jack Smith under the category "leaders," as both public figures have most notably been at the center of Trump's legal cases.
Carroll "embodied what #MeToo was actually about: not a woman taking down a powerful man, but a woman freeing herself. And in E. Jean's case, it just so happens, freeing millions more alongside her."

"Until a year ago, prosecuting a former President wasn't a thing, but Smith has made it so...He has been dealt a difficult hand: strict time constraints, a tough judge, an unending wave of attacks from Trump, and intense public pressure. But as a man who built his career prosecuting powerful public officials accused of major crimes, he is better equipped for this than most," Katyal said.
