A judge recommended on April 29 that "Katie Johnson" should have to pay her own attorneys' fees and court costs related to the $100 million lawsuit she brought against Trump and billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein over alleged sexual assault charges. Then on May 2, a U.S. District judge ordered the entire lawsuit thrown out.


“Katie Johnson" had previously filed forms asking to be let off the hook for the costs of the lawsuit, claiming she had only $300 to her name.

The documents were filed in a California court on April 26, accusing Trump and billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein of "sexual abuse under threat of harm" and "conspiracy to deprive her civil rights."


But the address listed on the paperwork leads to an abandoned property, and the phone number goes straight to voicemail.

So a Jerry Springer producer using a fake name helped an unknown woman to file a $100 million dollar lawsuit against Trump and Epstein in California. The woman used as her address on court documents a home with a dead owner, that was foreclosed and abandoned. The phone number given as her phone number went straight to voicemail.

The same Jerry Springer producer produced a video of a woman in a wig claiming she was raped.

The woman’s face is blurred.

The Jerry Springer producer wanted $1,000,000 for the video of a woman in a wig, with her face blurred, detailing her alleged experience with Trump.

The Vox link gives a good summary.





LMAO looks like the talking points have been distributed for the MAGA trolls to copy and paste trying to bury all of Trump's sexual assault history and pretend nothing ever happened.

WHERE THERE IS SMOKE THERE IS TYPICALLY FIRE.


These are articles discussing the investigations that the media conducted into the allegations.

These are news reports with details about the investigations.

This is not burying heads or pretending nothing happened.

Rape lawsuits against Donald Trump linked to former TV producer
Norm Lubow, formerly a producer on the Jerry Springer show, apparently coordinated lawsuits accusing Donald Trump of raping a child in the 1990s

Lawsuits accusing Donald Trump of sexually assaulting a child in the 1990s appear to have been orchestrated by an eccentric anti-Trump campaigner with a record of making outlandish claims about celebrities.
Norm Lubow, a former producer on the Jerry Springer TV show, has previously been involved with disputed allegations that OJ Simpson bought illegal drugs on the day Simpson’s wife was murdered, and that Kurt Cobain’s widow had the Nirvana frontman killed.

A publicist using the pseudonym “Al Taylor” is acting as a representative for Johnson, and has been shopping around to media outlets a video of a woman who wears a disguise while recounting the allegations against Trump. “Taylor” said in telephone calls last month that he was seeking $1m for the tape. Jezebel has published a segment of the video along with a detailed account of how the allegations against Trump were being pushed to reporters.

A telephone number and an email address used by “Taylor” have also been used by Lubow, according to three sources who have worked with them. A longtime associate of Lubow also told the Guardian that Lubow used the identity “Al Taylor”.
“Taylor” told the Guardian that he helped the alleged victim Johnson put together her first lawsuit against Trump, which was filed in California earlier this year. “She is a friend of mine,” he said, declining to make her available for interview.
He then became threatening when asked more about his motivations in seeking the money for the video and about his true identity. “Just be warned: we’ll sue you if we don’t like what you write,” he said. “We’ll sue your ass, own your ass and own your newspaper’s ass as well, punk.”
In 2011, “Al Taylor” claimed to cable news channels and gossip websites that he was negotiating a $1m deal for an exclusive TV interview with Casey Anthony, who was acquitted in a high-profile trial in Florida of killing her young daughter. Anthony’s attorneys denied the claims and the interview never took place.

https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jul/07/donald-trump-sexual-assault-lawsuits-norm-lubow

The linked Guardian news report continues to document what a scumbag Al/Norm is.

That’s why nobody is paying attention to this video; it’s fake.



There are at least 20 women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct of some kind. Where there is smoke there is usually fire.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/list-trumps-accusers-allegations-sexual-misconduct/story?id=51956410

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_sexual_misconduct_allegations


Exactly. Plus Trump was found guilty of sexual assault, it's well known he paid women off with hush money, and he went around openly BRAGGING about sexually assaulting women.

Where there is smoke, THERE IS FIRE. The MAGAs are desperately sticking their heads in the sand over this one.


Huffington Post’s Ryan Grim succinctly summed up: Taylor and Baer have been really sketchy about the whole thing, and since the accuser is anonymous, journalists can’t do anything to verify her claims. The only journalist who has actually interviewed Johnson, Emily Shugerman at Revelist, came away confused and even doubting whether Johnson really exists.


Donald Trump Is Accused Of Raping A 13-Year-Old. Why Haven't The Media Covered It?
There are two big reasons.
By
Ryan Grim
Nov 2, 2016, 02:57 PM EDT
Updated Nov 4, 2016, 09:31 PM EDT


https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-rape-case_n_581a31a5e4b0c43e6c1d9834/amp

“For months, people have wondered why this case isn’t getting more ― or, really, any ― attention in the press, even now that Trump faces an actual court date: a Dec. 16 status conference with the judge.

The lawsuit against Trump includes affidavits from two anonymous women who say they were witnesses. Yet there’s been little coverage of the case. As one of the media outlets that has not published much about it, I can say there are two main reasons we shied away.

The accuser is anonymous.

The accuser in this case is anonymous, and the suit is filed under a pseudonym in New York. A previous case filed in California used the name “Katie Johnson.” To accuse someone in print of forcibly raping a child is about as serious a charge as can be made. To do that with an anonymous accuser would be an extraordinary step, putting the journalist’s reputation on the line.

One senior national reporter who has covered both campaigns said that the anonymity was the main stumbling block. “If it’s something that’s this damaging to a candidate, you better be sure, and she’s anonymous,” the reporter said, asking for anonymity to talk openly about the decision-making process. “Look, if she came out and she would do an interview, that would be different, but she’s an anonymous plaintiff.”

To go forward with an anonymous source shifts responsibility for the veracity of the claims from the accuser to the reporter. If the person is named and on record, the reporter can argue that he or she is merely reporting what the person is saying, and people are free to believe her or not. But giving anonymity says something different to an audience. It suggests, I, as a journalist, have investigated this person and these charges, and find them sufficiently credible to bring them forward without a name attached.
Especially in the wake of the Rolling Stone fiasco, that requires an extreme amount of confidence in the source.
And the way the case rolled out did not inspire that confidence.
The accuser’s public backers have been savaged in the press.

One of the leading organizers of the effort to get the press to pay attention to this case is Steve Baer, an outspoken Republican donor. Baer last made news when his effort to out an alleged affair between Reps. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Renee Ellmers (R-N.C.) contributed to McCarthy dropping his bid to become House speaker. Baer’s style is to liberally cc and bcc an endless stream of powerful people, and it usually has the effect of getting none of them to listen.
When I wrote to him Monday night, for instance, to say I was going to write a story on why the media were avoiding the child rape story, he replied and cc’ed Washington Post Executive Editor Marty Baron, along with a host of other media figures.

And Baer, in fact, is among the more credible advocates the accuser has going for her.
The accuser initially filed the case on her own behalf in California, but it was tossed for not stating an articulable violation of her civil rights. The case has since been refiled in New York, under the representation of a patent lawyer named Thomas Meagher. A patent lawyer handling the case hasn’t inspired the most confidence. (He didn’t respond to a request for comment.)

The least credible backer has to be a man who may or may not be named Al Taylor, but is more likely named Norm Lubow, and was apparently a former producer for “The Jerry Springer Show.”

Media outlets that have tried to get in touch with Johnson have had extreme difficulty doing so. The Daily Beast did a deep dive into the case and the people supporting the accuser in July, and came to a devastating conclusion: “Far from derailing the Trump train, Katie Johnson and her supporters seem to be in an out-of-control clown car whose wheels just came off,” wrote Brandy Zadrozny.

The Guardian and Jezebel also looked into the situation and came up with equally unfavorable takes. A writer who actually talked to Johnson came away confused about what to make of the allegations. It’s unclear if anybody has managed to speak to Tiffany Doe or Joan Doe, the two witnesses cited in the case. “Jezebel, The Guardian and The Daily Beast effectively poisoned the well on Katie’s credibility,” Baer lamented to HuffPost, accurately.“



How is this MAGAS sticking their heads in the sand?

If anything, it’s democrats not knowing the previous media investigations concluded that anonymous plaintiffs who won’t accept media interviews were not credible.

You know why the US media is ignoring this? Because it’s more anonymous claims.

In the newly unsealed documents, Ms Ransome testified that her unnamed friend “was one of the many girls that had sexual relations with Donald Trump” – including at Epstein’s New York townhouse.

Ms Ransome said that she had seen sex-tapes involving prominent figures including Prince Andrew and UK billionaire Richard Branson.

Mr Trump was not alleged to have been involved in the sex tapes.

In a New Yorker article released in 2019, Ms Ransome said that “she had invented the tapes to draw attention to Epstein’s behavior, and to make him believe that she had ‘evidence that would come out if he harmed me.’

In part of testimony from another victim Johanna Sjoberg, it was claimed Epstein once “called up” the former president and visited one of his casinos after his private plane was diverted to Atlantic City in New Jersey.

Ms Sjoberg said that while travelling on the plane with the disgraced financier the pilots had said that they were unable to land in New York as planned.


“Jeffrey said, ‘Great, we’ll call up Trump and we’ll go to -- I don’t recall the name of the casino, but -- we’ll go to the casino’,” the testimony read. Elsewhere, Ms Sjoberg was asked if she ever gave Mr Trump a massage, to which she replied “no”.

(Also they omitted this part, but the night Epstein “called” Trump, she did not meet or see Trump. It was Epstein supposedly calling Trump and going to a Trump casino. What Trump casino? Can’t remember. Did they go to a Trump casino that night? Who knows?)


Mr Alessi (a driver for Epstein) said that Mr Trump would sometimes come round for dinner at Epstein’s home but ate with Mr Alessi in the kitchen. Mr Trump did not get massages at the Palm Beach house because he had “his own spa”, Mr Alessi said.

(hmmm, Trump didn’t get massages at Epstein’s Palm Beach house. He ate in the kitchen with Alessi.)

A spokesperson for Mr Branson’s Virgin Group said: “We categorically reject all allegations made by Sarah Ransome. In 2016, Ms Ransome retracted her claims and then in 2019 after settling her claims with Epstein and Maxwell, she also admitted to The New Yorker that the “tapes” had been “invented”. The allegations are baseless and unfounded.


so: made up claims of sex tapes, later admitted to be not real, no tapes, etc; no casino massage or meeting; another anonymous accuser, a retraction of claims, etc.

The US media has already heard and seen this stuff, it’s anonymous and there is no evidence.



FYI: this is the new Epstein info just released regarding Trump. It’s been covered in this thread already.

Unless you have more linked information with a citation from a reputable new source?

Exactly. They want to desperately flood the zone and make the Katie Johnson story go away but that doesn't magically make any of the rest of it go away.


Amazing how all these accusations came out of the woodwork all about the same time and then magically disappeared.
And, the E Jean Carroll case was a joke...... the evidence was specious, at best, (and some of the hard evidence totally conflicted with Carroll's testimony) and Hochul changed the law for a year to allow her to file suit.
Why do you think that happened?


Wow look at your spin on E. Jean Carroll. He was found guilty. That's the authoritative fact that you cannot deny. And Trump's defense was the joke, his central defense was merely "oh I couldn't have because she's not my type" yet he misidentified E. Jean Carroll as his former wife Marla Maples



The one he was so obsessed with that he weirdly still kept a picture of her in a bikini on his desk even while married to Melania



"Not his type" indeed. How completely lame and not even remotely credible. He insults our intelligence with every single thing that comes out of his mouth.

Same story whose debunking has been posted here multiple times.

Give it up.



Your tweet has no sources. Where are the sources and cites? A screenshot of a tweet isn’t adequate.


No sources?
You somehow seem to have missed the fact that the tweet names specific names as the source of the information: Ghislane Maxwell as primary source and Ira Rosen as who it was told to.


Rosen reveals in the book he met with Maxwell in the early months of 2016 acting on a "hunch" that the tapes existed, it's said he tricked her into confirming they did exist.

"I want the tapes. I know he [Epstein] was videotaping everyone and I want the tapes of Trump with the girls," Rosen told Maxwell.

Maxwell replied: "I don't know where they are."

Rosen says he asked Maxwell to speak with Epstein mentioning the "fate of the country is at stake".

"Trump could be elected president and how would you feel if those tapes emerged after he was in office?" Rosen asked Maxwell.

"She gave me a stern look and pointed a finger in my face. She said: 'I am the daughter of a press baron. I know the way you people think. If you do one side, you must do the other. If you get the tapes on Trump you have to do Clinton'."

Rosen replied: "I will. I will go wherever the story goes."

However, Maxwell claims she was never told where the tapes were.


"Maxwell didn't want Trump elected, but said that Hillary Clinton was comfortably ahead and there was no need for the story to come out.

"Besides, she said, Epstein never shared with her the location of the tapes."

At the end of their meeting Rosen says he hailed Maxwell a taxi when she asked if he would follow her back to her house.

"Get me the tapes and I will go back to your place," he said, but Maxwell gave him a kiss on the cheek and left. (Ira offers up a tantalizing offer to Ghislane: he will go back to her place and be her lover if she gets him those tapes! How could she refuse that offer? Ira is on the right in the photo below. Not only did he trick Maxwell into revealing the secret tapes, he heroically offered his body as tribute to obtain the tapes and save America from Trump!)

IMG-2010


He (Rosen) also mentions he bumped into Maxwell at a book party in New York in 2014 where she approached him asking for a ride home.

“Once there she turned to me in the front seat with an offer. 'If you come in and f*** me I will tell you the secrets of my father'," Maxwell said, Rosen writes.

Robert Maxwell was a British newspaper tycoon who died under mysterious circumstances on his yacht in the Canary Islands in 1991.

"I was stunned and speechless, my mind racing. I was not about to sleep with her but the reporter in me still wondered if her information would make a good 60 Minutes piece," he added.

"What a great offer but I left my dog home alone and I really need to get back to her," Maxwell told Rosen.

"It was a lame excuse and she knew it - she smiled weakly and said goodnight."“

Oh my. Ghislane Maxwell was hot hot hot for Ira Rosen. She has been wanting a piece of that for years, decades maybe.

IMG-2009

(virile and sought after Ira, who turned down sleeping with Ghislane Maxwell in 2014, is on the right.)

Not only was Ghlisane begging for a night with Ira, she was so desperate for that night she was willing to tell Ira the secrets of her mysteriously dead father! Yes! All for a night in heaven with Ira! Can you blame her? My God, any woman or man would spill all their deepest family secrets for a single night with Ira. Don’t deny it, you know you would.

But, alas- Ira’s dog needed him. He had to skip out on a night of passion with Ghislane AND being told the truth about her father’s disappearance and death to take care of dear Fido.


The Ira Rosen allegations are covered here.

Ask yourself why he told Stormi and the Katie Johnson the same thing: “you remind me of my daughter.” That wasn’t public in 2016 (see Trump’s felony convictions for why that wasn’t public). No, really, ask yourself why Trump had sex immediately after telling at least one woman (and potentially one girl) that she reminded him of her daughter.

Sorry Trump defenders, but we aren't in some kind of flat earth cult, where we must desperately cling to the belief that the earth is flat because if that one thing is disproven, it somehow disproves our entire belief system.

Sorry it doesn't work that way. We continually get new info and evaluate it and unlike a cult, we aren't in a bubble with one monolithic source of information that is considered authoritative and above all.

If there's a sufficiently credible argument to disprove one thing it doesn't somehow magically make us disbelieve everything else under the sun. So even if Katie Johnson disappears, it still leaves Trump with a whole host of other serious problems.

So you're wasting your time posting over and over about Katie Johnson thinking that by doing that, you can make everything else go away.

You can’t add anything to accuse Trump

The Ira Rosen allegations have been discussed above. That’s the tweet about the alleged sex tapes Epstein had of Trump. Ira Rosen is a very confident man, almost comically confident.

The “Katie Johnson” case has been discussed above, multiple times, with repeating links and information. The sources of information are all credible. They have “receipts,” as we say.

Those of us who are older and remember stories about him (many of which he liked to plant himself) from his earlier days in NYC don't need any new stories about him to change our minds about who he is. We already know him. It's younger people who need to be reminded who he is. He doesn't need to be "smeared"--his record even before he was president speaks for itself.

Thanks for posting, PP. I hadn’t seen this before. Trump asking the girl to use a glove before handling him checks. He’s such a germaphobe.


The video was produced by a Jerry Springer Show producer who used a fake name during his involvement with this issue.

He wanted $1,000,000 for this video of a woman in a wig who has never been proven to have existed. The woman has only ever used a fake name, and her address was given as a foreclosed, abandoned house.



Sure.


The lawsuit accusing Trump of raping a 13-year-old girl, explained

The anonymous plaintiff dropped her lawsuit against Trump, the circumstances around which have been bizarre.

https://www.vox.com/polic...allegation


The woman, who has gone by the pseudonyms “Katie Johnson” and “Jane Doe,” was set to appear at a press conference at the law offices of Lisa Bloom, a high-profile civil rights attorney and TV commentator. But the woman didn’t come to the press conference. Bloom told a room full of waiting reporters that Johnson was afraid to show her face after receiving multiple death threats, and that they would have to reschedule. (she only used fake names, how would she receive death threats? Any evidence of deaths threats? Any legal action taken against the people who made the death threats? Any arrests? No. Did Lisa Bloom ever reschedule the press conference? NO.)


Bloom said that her firm’s website was hacked, that Anonymous had claimed responsibility, and that death threats and a bomb threat came in afterwards. (But no arrests?)

Johnson claimed that Trump violently raped her when she was 13 at a 1994 orgy hosted by Jeffrey Epstein — the billionaire who was convicted in 2008 of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution. (Has anyone else accused Epstein of holding orgies? Anyone?)


The court filings also included a statement from “Tiffany Doe,” another anonymous woman, who said that she witnessed the rapes and procured the young girls for the parties, and “Joan Doe,” a classmate of the victim who said she was told about the rapes during the following school year. Tiffany Doe said that Epstein and Trump knew that Johnson was 13. (All anonymous. Hmmmm)

The lawsuit Johnson filed in New York was actually her second attempt to sue Trump and Epstein. The first was in California in April of this year, a claim Johnson filed herself that got thrown out on technical grounds — she’d filed a civil rights suit, but failed to actually state an applicable civil rights claim.


There were a couple of odd things about that lawsuit. The address listed on court documents as Johnson’s was actually a foreclosed, abandoned home, and the phone number was disconnected. Maybe Johnson was just using a fake address because she was homeless; she was, after all, also described as being indigent. But it’s fishy.

The lawsuit also described details that were so lurid — “almost cinematic in their depravity,” as Jezebel’s Anna Merlan put it — that they’re almost hard to believe. Some of those details were omitted from the second lawsuit, the New York Daily News reported:

Gone from the new lawsuit is an allegation that Trump threw money at the plaintiff for an abortion when she expressed fear about getting pregnant after being raped. Gone, too, is the allegation that Trump called co-defendant and accused pedophile and sex party host Jeffrey Epstein a “Jew bastard,” and her request for $100 million in damages. (only $100 million?)

“The allegations are not only categorically false, but disgusting at the highest level and clearly framed to solicit media attention or, perhaps, are simply politically motivated,” Trump told RadarOnline in April, after the first lawsuit was filed. “There is absolutely no merit to these allegations. Period.”


This spring, a man called “Al Taylor” sent a video of a woman with a blurred face and blonde wig (allegedly Johnson) recounting the allegations against Trump to news outlets, saying he wanted $1 million for it. Taylor, the Guardian reported, was actually Norm Lubow, a former producer on the Jerry Springer show who has a history of using fake names and disguises to make juicy, false claims about celebrities. (a Jerry Springer show producer? Using a fake name, too? Huh.)


Baer told Emily Shugerman at Revelist that Taylor met Johnson at a party and asked her if she had any good celebrity gossip. When she talked about her assault, Taylor apparently didn’t want to touch the story at first, but then circled back with Johnson about it once Trump’s campaign started picking up steam. (met at a party, ok.)

To hear journalists who interacted with them tell it, Baer and Taylor come off as obnoxiously persistent in pushing the story, and infuriatingly evasive when asked for interviews with Johnson. Jezebel’s Anna Merlan published a long account of their bizarre antics.

Taylor in particular comes across as volatile and a little scary; Merlan reported that Taylor told her to “suck my dick” when she confronted him about his identity, and that he made harassing phone calls to other journalists. He also appears to have sent at least a few text messages and emails while posing as Katie Johnson — or at least messages that Meagher, Johnson’s attorney, denies that Johnson sent.

Three days later, close to midnight, Shugerman finally talked to Johnson over the phone in a conference call with Meagher. There were some odd things about that call, Shugerman writes:

Johnson's voice sounded muffled and far away when she answered — she said she was speaking softly because she didn’t want anyone to overhear her. Several times she paused mid-sentence, and I could hear her moving something.

"She has dogs," Meagher explained.
Shugerman says Johnson was “vague” in her descriptions of Epstein’s parties and how many people were there, and wouldn’t go into details about what she was asked to do. Some of the details she did give were consistent with descriptions of Epstein and his house Vicky Ward listed in a 2003 Vanity Fair profile — which could either lend credence to Johnson’s story, or suggest that “Johnson” just read the Vanity Fair story as research.

Most troublingly, a detective who worked with Epstein’s victims called into question a key part of Johnson’s story:

Hearing her answers that night, I had to remind myself that PTSD from sexual trauma is known to damage victims' memories — and that the parties she recalled allegedly happened more than two decades ago. But Mike Fisten, a retired Miami-Dade detective who conducted research for several of Epstein's victims, denied such parties ever even took place.

"Jeffery never had parties like described in their complaint," Fisten told me. "Jeffery had sex parties, for sure, with two or three girls … but never with other guys."

There were men in attendance at Epstein’s more large, lavish affairs, Fisten said, but nothing illicit ever happened at such events.

“I don't know if the Katie Johnson I spoke to is the same girl who Trump allegedly raped in 1994, or if that girl even exists,” Shugerman concluded in her piece.

But the Clinton campaign hasn’t touched Johnson’s allegation, and with good reason. It’s true that the allegation is explosive, andcould make voters see Trump’s many disturbing comments about young girls over the years in a new light. But it’s also very dubious and uncertain. (Why didn’t the Clinton campaign go gang busters on Katie Johnson’s alleged rape? Because it’s dubious and uncertain.)

You are reminding people of lies.

Sounds like I need to keep reposting this until you get it:

Sorry Trump defenders, but we aren't in some kind of flat earth cult, where we must desperately cling to the belief that the earth is flat because if that one thing is disproven, it somehow disproves our entire belief system.

Sorry it doesn't work that way. We continually get new info and evaluate it and unlike a cult, we aren't in a bubble with one monolithic source of information that is considered authoritative and above all.

If there's a sufficiently credible argument to disprove one thing it doesn't somehow magically make us disbelieve everything else under the sun. So even if Katie Johnson disappears, it still leaves Trump with a whole host of other serious problems.

So you're wasting your time posting over and over about Katie Johnson thinking that by doing that, you can make everything else go away.
