44. This is from the same person as Katie Johnson

Jul 2025

She filed suit in California in April but it was thrown out because she gave a fake address. She file in June in New York under the name Jane Doe and was later confirmed to be Katie Johnson. See this Snopes article from 2016. https://www.snopes.com/news/2016/06/23/donald-trump-rape-lawsuit/ .

It is unclear how much credibility this person has (or if she even exists). See this Snopes article from last year: https://www.snopes.com/news/2024/09/03/trump-epstein-katie-johnson/ .

Julie K. Brown, the journalist who uncovered the federal government's plea deal with Epstein in 2008, pushed back on the notion that journalists had ignored the Johnson claims, writing on X that, "The woman just wouldn't talk, and her lawyer would not confirm she was even legit. … The address she gave on her first lawsuit was false. She was linked to political operatives at one point."

Lubow's involvement does not preclude the reality of the Johnson allegations. "Could her story be true?" Brown wrote. "Yes. As we speak, there are probably some powerful men associated with Epstein who have hired lawyers to pay off women. There are probably NDA's attached."

Trump, for his part, has previously been held liable for sexual assault in civil court, and has been found guilty of charges that involve paying off a woman to silence her about sexual contact with him. Further, the former president has bragged about sexual misconduct on tape.

Such facts provide documentary evidence supporting the notion that Trump has a history of sexual assault, but not against children. The actual documentary evidence in support of the latter claim is inexorably linked to Lubow and is tied to a person — Johnson — who may, in all reality, not exist.
