in court.

The attorney for a woman accusing Donald Trump of raping her in 1994 when she was 13 years old has told BuzzFeed News the case against the Republican presidential candidate will be tried in court — and Trump himself will have to answer the accusations under oath.

“This case, based on the sworn declarations of the victim and two corroborating witnesses, will be tried in court, where the defendants will be required to answer questions under oath and pursuant to the rules of evidence,” said attorney Cheney Mason in a statement to BuzzFeed News.

Trump has vehemently denied the rape claims, which are being filed in a New York civil court for a third time.

Mason signed on this week to represent the plaintiff, who filed her complaint as “Jane Doe,” according to court records. He is best known as the defense attorney for Casey Anthony, the Florida woman acquitted on charges of killing her 2-year-old daughter in 2008.

An initial hearing has been scheduled in the “Jane Doe” case for Dec. 16, 2016.

because he, like many others, was a social connection of Epstein's.

But Trump's name, unlike Bill's, is circled in the "little black book." And Trump is the one being sued -- in a lawsuit involving women who say they are witnesses -- not Bill.
