If you’re wondering why this story had no legs, look no further than the lede. Oh, wait; it’s the Daily Beast. I’m sorry—I know you already know this latest Trump-Epstein story was crap. Who signed off on this story? It’s blown up immediately.
The headline reads: New Evidence Corroborates Claims of Trump Sex Accuser, 13.
Here’s how they tried to spin it [emphasis mine]:
A new investigation has backed up evidence given by a woman who has accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her when she was 13, according to a report.
The woman conducted four interviews with the FBI in 2019 in which she detailed alleged abuse by Trump and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Her interviews referencing Trump were initially withheld by the Department of Justice.
A report from South Carolina newspaper The Post and Courier released on Sunday has now corroborated key personal details given by the woman about a third man she claims also sexually assaulted her—named Jimmy Atkins. Those details are not directly related to her accusations against Trump, but suggest that she was truthful about other matters she raised with the FBI.
The White House has called the woman’s claims against Trump “completely baseless,” while the president has always denied any involvement in Epstein’s crimes.

And the accusers who have come forward have all denied President Trump being involved in the sordid and illegal sexual activities of Jeffrey Epstein, from which this story shares an orbit.

Jimmy Atkins isn’t Donald Trump. What the hell is this? Another story unrelated to Trump might check out, so Trump is guilty of something.
Total trash.
