Attorney: Woman Accusing Trump of Child Rape Isn’t Going Public After Getting Threats

There was some big news today when attorney Lisa Bloom announced a woman would be coming forth with child rape accusations against Donald Trump. Bloom said earlier today that her client, who claims Trump raped her at a sex party when she was 13, would be speaking at 6 pm ET.

But Bloom appeared at the press conference without her client, saying that she’s too scared to come forward now:

“Jane Doe has received numerous threats today, as have all the Trump accusers that I have represented. She is living in fear, she has decided that she’s too afraid to show her face.”

Bloom informed the press they would “reschedule” this announcement.
