Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage.

He was found by a jury to have raped her. The judge agreed.
He could have taken a simple DNA test to exonerate himself.
He chose to pay her off instead.
Hmmmmmm
That was my thought exactly. You can call Trump a rapist without worrying about libel or slander. A judge has basically given everyone permission.
Not if you're sane washing him from his side of the line. They're complicit.
Does Don John have a Rape Victims section on his Wikipedia page yet?
Be the change you want to see
She is his adjudicated rape victim, not accuser
"Justice" Department...
New name needed.
Just Us Department
Love how the article is still pretending she was a victim of alleged assault despite courts ruling she was raped. Wow AP, you have fallen.
Courts ruled she was sexually abused, not raped. The judge said the assault fit the colloquial usage of "rape" but not the narrower legal definition.
Not that it really matters. Trump is a rapist.
Accused?
Wasn't he convicted of that rape?
It was a civil case, not a criminal case. That's why Trump's an "adjudicated rapist" instead of "convicted rapist". And yes, there is a difference. That difference being his requirement to compensate her financially, rather than him be sentenced to "federal get-fucked-in-the-ass prison".
I think the main difference is actually the burden of proof needed. For civil cases, it's "the preponderance of evidence," and criminal is, "beyond a reasonable doubt".
However, that doesn't mean he is not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Just that it didn't need to be proved in court to get the ruling.
He wasn't convicted. He was found liable since it was a civil suit.
She accused Trump, the court convicted him.
Oh, so the fully non-biased presidential attack dog agency is going to determine ~~if~~ she lied?
Think she'll be eligible for any of that $1.8B 'weaponized prosecution' fund?
Disgusting.
Trump blubbers about "lawfare" to the tune of $1.8 billion and then does this...
Rules for thee but not for me.
Pretty on brand….
Projection
Why is it even being called "The Justice Department"? At this point just call it The Trump Department.
“Trump’s tax funded lawyers”
They are probably investigating all of the Epstein survivor too. Nice way to spend the taxes of your citizens USA.
For fucking what?
For intimidation.
It's the implication.
Dead link?
