The lawyer for a woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a child is calling on the president to testify under oath.

Lisa Bloom represents the woman who claimed that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Trump in 1984, when she was about 13 years old. An FBI report released as part of the Epstein files revealed the woman told interviewers in 2019 that Trump had forced her to perform a sexual act on him.

She claimed Trump then punched her on the side of her head after she allegedly “bit the s--t out of” his penis. Trump has denied the accusations. Bloom, in a statement to the Daily Beast, referenced Melania Trump’s shocking press statement, where she denied having any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes—or any relationship with the disgraced financier.

“While Melania Trump seems primarily concerned about her own reputation today, she does call for congressional hearings. We agree,” said Bloom. “And the man who is mentioned probably more than anyone else in the Epstein files should be subpoenaed to testify: Donald Trump.” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

1. Can't imagine what good it would do

[dave99]

22. Another perjury on shitstain's record

[everyonematters]

2. This is the first that I have heard of this person coming forward.

I believe it was originally reported by someone else in the files anomalously. This could be a big deal.

[jfz9580m]

24. It is the worst one I have seen yet

And that is saying something.
I don’t think it is the same as these:
https://www.snopes.com/news/2016/06/23/donald-trump-rape-lawsuit/

I looked up the Epstein survivors recently trying to parse some of my own behaviours out of a hunch I have from personal experience as well as from cursory inspections of analyses by experts who actually care the real way about women’s issues.


It is that women (including me) “act out” more (excessive swearing, alcohol or substance overuse, dysfunctionality, anger and self destructive behaviour) in response to sexual harassment, assault, stalking etc especially when that is coupled (as I have seen) with systems which switch between turning a blind eye or worse retaliating with vile moral policing, malicious scrutiny and attacks on one’s character, sanity or credibility masked as “concern about mental wellness”. The worst is justification of obviously predatory monitoring as “concern about self harm”.

It is so perverse and counter-intuitive. How can policies or strategies that are likelier to make women more depressed, feel more degraded be portrayed and sold as harm prevention? I am pretty sure that is not how experts who truly help women behave.

Those are usually decent people who are gentler and let women come to them more non-intrusively. Unlike the idiots who assume guilt in the screwed over party, actual experts tend to get that it is common for women to be ambivalent a lot and vacillate between wanting to move on and forget about it versus pushback knowing as one does that odds are it is no use.

There is this totally sleazy and malicious systemic rear covering gambit where you are doubly screwed over when abusive practices are used as an excuse to promote/force a cottage industry of surveillance, “testing” etc.

The most insulting part is the canned statements after, by systems like those once the gig is up.

27. He will never testify.

HE will stall, file numerous objections all the way to the SC, and they will rule that the president cannot be forced to testify.

[FakeNoose]

3. Chump never, ever tells the truth, even when he's under oath

So what penalties can the court threaten him with? He doesn't give a rat's ass.

[Whip-poor-will]

4. Dam

Damn dam's breaking

Subpoena FBI tapes starring trump destroy him slowly, very slowly

With trump it will be the biggest bustiest fall from grace ever

[twodogsbarking]

5. Trump swearing to tell the truth. Fantasy..

[UpInArms]

6. I never had sex with that woman

Where have I heard that?

Wasn’t that one line used as an impeachable offense?

[BumRushDaShow]

7. AND he was impeached for it too.

[Ilsa]

10. Thank goodness she was adult, even if she wasn't

cognitively or neurologically mature.

[karynnj]

14. No, it was a more nuanced line given to Ken Starr under oath

Summed up as hinging on the meaning of is.

[Polybius]

25. It became an impeachable offense when it was proven true after he lied under oath about it

But lying under oath is a weak thing to impeach a President for, as you can see now.

[70sEraVet]

8. Won't happen, not while he's in the White House

That's why he's building a Maralago-style bunker under the White House -- he's planning to NEVER LEAVE!

[travelingthrulife]

9. He's dying. He will leave soon whether he wants to or not.

[70sEraVet]

12. He plans to remain, like an Incan 'Sapa'

After his death, his bodied was mummified and remained in his palace. His royal family and all his servants remained in the palace with him, to wait on him, should he need anything. They were not entombed. They lived their life, and went to the marketplace, and ate wonderful food, like always. A new palace was built for the new Sapa Inca. Cities had several palaces, but only one palace housed a living Sapa Inca

[King_Klonopin]

16. I was thinking the same thing,

I have to accept the fact that he will be dead before he ever has to face justice for anything illegal/immoral/evil
he has done. I would pray for his health if I knew he would stand trial and be convicted of ANYTHING. But, as it is . . . .

[Ilsa]

11. Maybe when he locks himself in, we can cement the

tunnels and hallways shut, cut comms, let him live forever in the bunker with no contact, no access to military.

[Wednesdays]

17. Better yet,

Give him screens and controls that appear official. But in reality are fake and AI-driven. Let him think he's in control of the world, while the real world goes on normally without him. Let him live out the rest of his days in a kind of solitary delusion-driven prison.

[Ilsa]

18. We could probably "Truman Show" him even above

ground. But, I don't like that he'd feel so great about having outsmarted the world. I think he deserves to feel some panic. God knows, the world has had plenty of panic already.

[Wednesdays]

20. Then configure the AI to make everything go terribly wrong

He'd be panicking in his little bubble, while the world goes on as normal.

[Ilsa]

21. That works for me!!! Let him stew in his failures. Let the

AI media rip him to shreds!

[bluestarone]

13. Would be nice. We know he won't.

But man i would love to watch public hearing wit the accuser and her lawyer BOTH ask the questions. God, she would know the right questions to ask.

[Bayard]

15. Even if that ever happened, he'd keep taking the 5th,

Too bad that little girl didn't bite his pecker off. I hope she prevails in her lawsuit.

[EuterpeThelo]

19. I thought

the lawsuit was dropped in 2016 just minutes before she was going to hold a press conference due to the death threats she'd received, so I don't think this is an active suit anymore. Though I certainly understand her very legitimate fear, I wish there was some way she could still pursue it.

[BumRushDaShow]

23. I think the original suit was as an individual

Now there appears to be class action suits and/or multiple victims represented by different lawyers.

Here is something about this lawyer -

Lisa Bloom on the fight for Epstein’s victims: ‘So many powerful men were enablers’

(snip)

Bloom, the California-based lawyer who has specialised in representing victims of sexual misconduct cases for 40 years, is acting for 11 of Epstein’s victims. In December, she launched new proceedings against the FBI on behalf of eight of her clients, which argue that the organisation failed to investigate credible reports of Epstein’s sexual misconduct involving minors going back as far as 1996. Had the FBI acted with due diligence, the complaint argues, hundreds more women could have been protected from abuse.

So she may be part of this group represented by this lawyer now.

[EuterpeThelo]

28. Thanks for this!

I didn't know about the class action. Lisa Bloom is a bad ass. Isn't she Gloria Allred's daughter, IIRC?

[BumRushDaShow]

29. Yup! Lisa is Gloria's daughter

carrying on the tradition!

(ETA - various groups of survivors have had a bunch of different cases going including a couple that were settled with banks that provided Epstein the money to keep up the "lifestyle", e.g., there was one just settled with Bank of America last month - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143633530)

26. If this is accuurate, then this person and anyone else who was sexually assaulted by this deviant president, needs

to come forward.

If there are witnesses to this they also need to come forward.
