Lawyer for Trump Sex Accuser, 13, Demands President Testify Under Oath

Source: Daily Beast

Updated Apr. 9 2026 8:18PM EDT / Published Apr. 9 2026 6:53PM EDT


The lawyer for a woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a child is calling on the president to testify under oath.

Lisa Bloom represents the woman who claimed that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Trump in 1984, when she was about 13 years old. An FBI report released as part of the Epstein files revealed the woman told interviewers in 2019 that Trump had forced her to perform a sexual act on him.

She claimed Trump then punched her on the side of her head after she allegedly “bit the s--t out of” his penis. Trump has denied the accusations. Bloom, in a statement to the Daily Beast, referenced Melania Trump’s shocking press statement, where she denied having any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes—or any relationship with the disgraced financier.

“While Melania Trump seems primarily concerned about her own reputation today, she does call for congressional hearings. We agree,” said Bloom. “And the man who is mentioned probably more than anyone else in the Epstein files should be subpoenaed to testify: Donald Trump.” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I believe it was originally reported by someone else in the files anomalously. This could be a big deal.

After his death, his bodied was mummified and remained in his palace. His royal family and all his servants remained in the palace with him, to wait on him, should he need anything. They were not entombed. They lived their life, and went to the marketplace, and ate wonderful food, like always. A new palace was built for the new Sapa Inca. Cities had several palaces, but only one palace housed a living Sapa Inca

I have to accept the fact that he will be dead before he ever has to face justice for anything illegal/immoral/evil
he has done. I would pray for his health if I knew he would stand trial and be convicted of ANYTHING. But, as it is . . . .

Give him screens and controls that appear official. But in reality are fake and AI-driven. Let him think he's in control of the world, while the real world goes on normally without him. Let him live out the rest of his days in a kind of solitary delusion-driven prison.

the lawsuit was dropped in 2016 just minutes before she was going to hold a press conference due to the death threats she'd received, so I don't think this is an active suit anymore. Though I certainly understand her very legitimate fear, I wish there was some way she could still pursue it.

Lisa Bloom on the fight for Epstein’s victims: ‘So many powerful men were enablers’

(snip)

Bloom, the California-based lawyer who has specialised in representing victims of sexual misconduct cases for 40 years, is acting for 11 of Epstein’s victims. In December, she launched new proceedings against the FBI on behalf of eight of her clients, which argue that the organisation failed to investigate credible reports of Epstein’s sexual misconduct involving minors going back as far as 1996. Had the FBI acted with due diligence, the complaint argues, hundreds more women could have been protected from abuse.

So she may be part of this group represented by this lawyer now.
