According to an Exclusive by DailyMail.com, when she first filed the civil suit last April, Trump's legal team branded the allegations as 'disgusting at the highest level' and a 'hoax' clearly framed to 'solicit media attention or, perhaps simply politically motivated'. Clinton supporters immediately seized on the story and opened a discussion about the rape claims on Twitter and other social media networks in the hopes of damaging Trump's push for the White House.
The Huffington Post also jumped on the bandwagon of anti-
Trump sentiment after she made her claims, asking: 'Donald
Trump Is Accused Of Raping A 13-Year-Old. Why Haven't The
Media Covered It?'
Then, last Wednesday, Katie Johnson suddenly cancelled a
packed press conference, saying she was 'too afraid' following
a series of 'threats' against her.
On Friday, six months after legal papers were filed,
she dramatically dropped the civil lawsuit.
Social media erupted with claims that the woman had been paid
off by Trump or was so terrified by threats to her life from
Trump supporters that she was forced to withdraw her claims.
But DailyMail.com, through their investigations has learned that
the real reason the suit was dropped is because the claims were
simply NOT true.
According to :
"The woman first sued Trump and Jeffrey Epstein under
the name Katie Johnson - a name we know not to be her
real identity - on April 26 in California federal court and
filed an amended complaint in New York federal court in
October, claiming she was subject to rape, criminal
sexual acts, assault, battery and false imprisonment.
The court papers offered no corroborative evidence that
her claims were true. News that the allegations were
dropped dismayed Hillary supporters who had hoped the
claims would be the knock out blow for Trump's election
campaign - already rocked in recent weeks by a string of
sex assault claims.
But DailyMail.com has been told that elements of what
Johnson had claimed crumbled at the last minute. Her
claims can today be exposed as untruthful, the key fact
being that Donald Trump was not involved whatsoever.
A source with knowledge of the controversial case told
DailyMail.com: 'Katie Johnson's account had been
believable and compelling right up until the last minute.
'But new information emerged that suggested she had
not been telling the truth.
'Ultimately it was discovered that Donald Trump's name
had been inserted into this, he was not involved
whatsoever. After that she had no credibility.' The
revelation slaps down any suggestion that Johnson
dropped the case thanks to a secret financial settlement
with Trump, as has been speculated on social media. It
also clears Trump of any hint of wrong doing in
association with the lawsuit. DailyMail.com interviewed
Johnson before the case was dropped.
She had claimed her motivation was to tell her story was
to expose Donald Trump to stop him from becoming
president. 'We would have a rapist in the White House. I
would feel horrified every single day if I stay in this
country,' she said, in dramatic terms. Johnson said her
experiences in the summer in 1994 still haunt her today.
'As much as I try to forget about everything that
happened, it always affects everything in my life,' she
said. 'I mean it affects my relationships, I don't think
I've ever had a successful relationship, one that I feel I
can trust that person, there's always that mistrust.'
But she also said that in 1994 she had no idea who her
attacker was and that it was only when she watched The
Apprentice that she came to believe it was Trump,
claiming that she could not forget her attacker's face.
DailyMail.com has since learned that Johnson has two
DUIs and a felony drug possession on her record and a
history of drug abuse. Johnson has a troubled past, and
told DailyMail.com that she believes her experiences as
a young girl led to those troubles. The former real estate
worker said recent spinal surgery has meant she is
unable to work and claims disability welfare. In lurid
claims Johnson in court papers, she claimed Trump
took her virginity, forced her in to role-play sex and
alleges that he and financier Epstein treated her as a
'sex slave' during an 'horrific' summer in 1994".
