[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] Why is Donald Trump trying so hard to brush off, ignore, or bury the Epstein files? If he really was just friends with Jeffrey Epstein many years ago and had no idea the kind of horrible things he was up to, why not say so? Why deny everything now, even friendly notes? If he has nothing to hide, why not do a release of everything possible in the government's files? If Trump isn't in those files, why did he choose to betray what his MAGA base wanted and tell them he didn't want their support if they kept pushing for transparency? We've already seen some pretty firm reporting that the President's name is in the files. But more than that, Trump's reaction to being pressed on Epstein has come across like a guy wearing a big "guilty" sign. Trump is acting like someone who doesn't ever want anyone to see what's in those files. Which means we may not, no matter what Congress votes or the courts demand. Sadly the answer may be exactly what it seems like. It may just be that our current POTUS did horrible things with his pal Jeff. So maybe it's time to take another look the worst thing Trump has been accused of. It's time to talk about the Katie Johnson case.

But for many, including MAGA who now feel betrayed by Trump, this may not ever have hit your radar. Back in 2016, when it seemed increasingly clear the Celebrity Apprentice star was going to be the unlikely Republican nominee, many women came forward with their stories of being sexually assaulted by him. Many thought it was "convenient" they came out once he ran for president. We just figured they didn't think it was worth the hardship when he was just some reality TV hack - but the idea of their abuser being President of the United States was too horrifying to lie low and do nothing. Anyway, one of these women was Katie Johnson. That's the pseudonym she used anyway. She tried really hard to keep her anonymity, and it's not hard to imagine why considering the bombshell she was about to drop on some really scary men. Her first lawsuit, filed without an attorney, had some technical issues, including an unverifiable mailing address and sketchy phone number. Was it because it was a hoax? Or was she trying to protect her identity? Either way, the $100 million suit was ultimately dismissed for failing to cite an actionable civil rights claim. She filed again later that year with proper lawyers - but backed out at the last minute. More on that later. Let's talk about what she alleged... Her filing from April, which can still be found online, accused defendants Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein of "sexually and physically abusing Plaintiff Johnson by forcing her to engage in various perverted and depraved sex acts by threatening physical harm to Plaintiff Johnson and also her family." It accused them of conspiring to deny her civil rights by "making her their sex slave." Directly from the filing: "The Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, alleges she was subject to extreme sexual and physical abuse by the Defendants, Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein, including forcible rape during a four month time span covering the months of June-September 1994 when Plaintiff Johnson was still only a minor of age 13." Here is exactly what she said happened... Katie's Story Katie began her September filing by explaining she'd come to New York on the bus "in the hope of starting a modeling career." Every agency she met with turned her away, telling her she need a portfolio first. She was about to head home when a woman identified as Tiffany Doe found her at the Port Authority bus terminal: "She told me about the parties and said that, if I would join her at the parties, I would be introduced to people who could get me into the modeling profession. Tiffany also told me I would be paid for attending." That's how she met Jeffrey Epstein. The parties were at his place - and featured "other minor females and a number of guests of Mr. Epstein, including Defendant Donald Trump at four of the parties I attended." Katie says both men were aware she was 13 years old.

This ended with Epstein putting her hand on his penis until he "achieved sexual orgasm" - at which point she was made to clean up the mess. Trump was allegedly present for one such incident - he was getting a massage from another girl, also 13 years old. It was on this occasion Katie claims to have heard Trump and Epstein "arguing over who would be the one to take Plaintiff Johnson's virginity": "The Defendant, Donald J
