lawnewz.com/celebrity/why-isnt-anyone-paying-attention-to-the-sexual-assault-lawsuit-against-trump/I see a lot of press today about Hillary and the FBI, and there has been a ton of coverage about Cosby... I really don't understand why the press has been pretty quiet about the charges. If you read the article they may seem a bit far fetched but when a presidential candidate is accused of raping a 13 year old, I would think it would get at least as much attention as Benghazi or a private email server? Have you heard about the charges does it concern you at all?

As far as I know, he had not been charged with a crime, but instead an allegation has been filed by the alleged victim.
With the passage of time, evidence will be hard to find.
I am not hoding him guilty unless and until he is criminally charged

I hadn't heard about them.
I already had so many other concerns about Trump that I would never have voted for him, so for me, this wouldn't change anything.
I guess I'll go have a look.

My goodness.
As much as I dislike Trump's actions, I'm very hesitant to form an opinion on this.
Time will tell, I guess.
(I do find it in poor taste that the "witness" is named Tiffany Due. Isn't that his daughter's name?) |

He isn't getting my vote regardless, but I'll wait to see what transpires first.

I do wonder why this isn't getting much media coverage. Two things really bother me.
1. If there's an eyewitness, why the HELL were charges never brought before? I guess I need to do more looking around.
2. This is really trivial, but even though he's just a newtork talking-head, I would have thought Dan Abrams could have come up with a better name for this site than LawNewz with a z. I know I'm a spelling snob, but it's just so sloppy and juvenile.

I am not hoding him guilty unless and until he is criminally charged Not charged with a crime because the statue of limitations.. but he is being charged in a federal court. My point was more about it not being in the main stream news. As far as I know Hillary was not charged with a crime in a court of law.. just in the media. |

Has this been on other news outlets/sites? I have not heard it before. I don't know if it is a matter of people not caring or people just not knowing (Although I doubt those who love Trump would believe it to be true anyway). Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if it was true (along with the other allegations reported in the article linked above). His personality is such that I imagine he thinks he can do what he wants with whoever he wants, when he wants.

Just looked it up and she was born in 1993 so doesn't look like she would have been Tiffany Doe. |

Because at this stage of the game, I don't care. I don't believe the victim and if it's true, I still don't care.
I know that makes me a rotten person but today, I just don't care.

Does not surprise me. Trump's ties to Jeffery Epstein are highly, highly questionable as he is a known pedophile (but I suppose billionaires are above the law too).
The reason you're probably not hearing much about this is Bill Clinton has some seriously close connections to Epstein as well. Make of that what you will.

Regardless of who we vote for, we're electing a crook. |

I'm suspect of anyone who brings up something for the first time 22 years after the fact and especially when the person they are accusing is in a high profile position.

What's really depressing is that this is the best our country has to offer; on both sides.  |

A friend posted this the other day on Facebook and it was from a reasonably reputable source, so I wondered the same thing -- how is it this is the first we are hearing of it?

Clearly, pure speculation on my part.

What's really depressing is that this is the best our country has to offer; on both sides. I agree, with the caveat that I don't think either candidate was the best the parties had to offer. Party shenanigans are out of control on both sides. But it really doesn't matter because the whole system is just so messed up. I'm finally understanding why some doomsday, culty religions are able to lure people in. |

Indeed, though speculation isn't necessary: New York Magazine: "Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery"
"He's pals with a passel of Nobel Prize–winning scientists, CEOs like Leslie Wexner of the Limited, socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, even Donald Trump. But it wasn't until he flew Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, and Chris Tucker to Africa on his private Boeing 727 that the world began to wonder who he is." |

That article was interesting, MizIndependent , but I'm wondering if you have any sources on Epstein being a known pedophile? That quote from Trump about them both loving beautiful, young women was pretty skeevy, though.  |
