A few days ago, anti-Trump forces were hoping that this woman alleging that Donald Trump raped her when she was only 13-years old would sink the GOP nominee’s chances.
First her big news conference was cancelled, and now the entire lawsuit has been dropped — AGAIN:
BREAKING: 'Doe' accuser drops Trump teen rape suit, again https://t.co/8LBlbU8Q56

From Politico:
The accuser’s lead attorney, Thomas Meagher of New Jersey, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. He filed a one-page notice dismissing the case Friday evening in federal court in Manhattan. No explanation was given for the action.
Lisa Bloom, another lawyer representing the anonymous woman in the suit, claimed her website was hacked and that her and her client were receiving death threats over charges:
Our website's back up, emails secured and The Bloom Firm today was back fighting for women, POC, LGBT folks. Haters, you will never beat us.

For every woman scared into silence, many more rise up. Watch this space.

With the outpouring of hate, a bomb threat, and death threats also came an outpouring of love and empathy. Much more of the latter. https://t.co/oRolQ4sEpU
