Trump lawyers given court date over lawsuit alleging rape by Donald Trump of 13-year-old

A federal judge in New York has ordered counsel for Donald Trump and the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein to appear in court along with the attorney for a woman referred to only as “Jane Doe” who alleges the Republican presidential nominee raped her when she was 13.

Its not recent but it is even more pervasive. The media is the number one victim and source it seems. Any foolish notion is grist for the news mill.

6. There is a reason why they can't cover it and it's been explained here before. Sorry that I can't

What about Benghazi? What about Vince Foster?

If the "media" had cover Trump's past a fraction of what they have spent on non-Clinton scandals, Trump never would have been the nominee. This will get no attention on cable or network news.

"A Guardian investigation this summer found that the lawsuit appeared to have been coordinated by a former producer on the Jerry Springer TV show who has been associated in the past with a range of disputed claims involving celebrities including OJ Simpson and Kurt Cobain. A publicist acting for “Jane Doe” also attempted to sell a video in which the woman describes her allegations against Trump to media outlets at a $1m price tag."


Sorry but nobody is going to touch this and it won't go anywhere.

They're just desperate to keep Trump viable as a candidate so they can do their "horse race" coverage for another 10 days.
