'Woman who accused Donald Trump of raping her at 13 drops lawsuit' published 2016 [View all]

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/04/donald-trump-teenage-rape-accusations-lawsuit-dropped

'..This week she abruptly canceled a plan to speak publicly about the allegations, and another attorney, Lisa Bloom, cited “numerous threats” against her client...

“She has been here all day, ready to do it, but unfortunately she is in terrible fear,” Bloom said on Wednesday. Bloom’s mother, Gloria Allred, is an attorney representing several women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct.

'Trump...has denied all the accusations made against him.'

My words: The article was published in 2016. It's a sordid story and is likely the reason that there are no longer any Epstein files to be found at the Justice Department and why Epstein died in 2019, however that may have happened.
