Woman suing Trump over alleged teen rape drops suit, again

Source: Politico

A woman who accused Donald Trump of repeatedly raping her two decades ago when she was a 13-year-old aspiring teen model has again dropped a federal lawsuit over the alleged assaults.

The accuser, identified in the lawsuit by the pseudonym "Jane Doe," was expected to appear at a news conference in Los Angeles Wednesday, but that appearance was abruptly canceled.

2. I wonder if this was all a setup, trying to get Democrats to bite on a faux scandal . . .

so Trump could use it to bury the other allegations against him.

Guess we'll never know.

explanation drop it? Possible but I still lean more towards her being offered money to quietly go away.

not to talk. I hope she does a video with Gloria Aldrich stating her side of the facts. Actually, I wish they would all get together and make one. Hopefully, it's coming. I wonder what Jane Doe will do.

So her face has been shown now. There is no reason for her not to do a press conference now, if she wants to.

this was directed towards the vile Trump doesn't mean it was accurate. VOX did a piece that raised many questions about it.

Who knows.

19. Trump must have settled the case

I've been writing OPs on this lawsuit for more than 4 months.

I've probably read every "credible" story published about this case
(I don't consider Fox News. Breitbart, or Snopes.com to be "credible&quot

The only conclusion that I can draw is that the lying rat bastard settled the case with a shitload of cash, plus a non-disclosure agreement.

If so, don't expect to hear anything from "jane Doe" or any of her lawyers, because they all would have had to sign non-disclosure agreements.
