That’s not really enough to prove much. There are two paragraphs on that page and one of them seems inaccurate.
Two facts reinforce the credibility of Johnson’s claims. First, at the time of Johnson’s
statements to FBI, Jeffrey Epstein was not yet the infamous public figure he was to become. Thus,
if Johnson had fabricated the incident in an attempt to embarrass Donald Trump politically—as
President Trump’s campaign claimed—it is unclear why she would have made Epstein the primary
and slightly more violent perpetrator in her account
Trump was running for office when this accusation occurred in 2016. And his relationship with Epstein was already known. Remember Epstein had already been in trouble for under age sexual assault prior to 2010.
I want to be clear, I’m not saying Katie Johnson is or isn’t real. I’m just saying it’s not the nail in the coffin that we think it is.
