Katie Johnson was 13 years old when, she says, Trump raped her on two separate occasions. She was one of the young girls sexually trafficked by Jeffery Epstein.
The video below was transcribed further below by Kate Manne:
September 3, 2025
A handful of the women trafficked by Jeffery Epstein spoke out at a DC press conference organized by Representatives Ro Khanna, Thomas Massie, and Margery Taylor Greene. The women spoke about the nightmare of being recruited and groomed for sexploitation when they were just children by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and another woman who was also a recruiter for Epstein’s sex trafficking enterprise. Some came from broken homes or were immigrants. Some were told they would make a lot of money and could become models. It is estimated that around 1,000 women were victims of Epstein’s massive sex trafficking enterprise.
One of the victims at the press conference said she saw Trump’s picture prominently displayed in Epstein’s apartment in Manhattan in an 8 by 10 frame and said Epstein talked often about Trump being a good friend of his. Another spoke about flying in Epstein’s plane with Bill Clinton. These women were afraid to speak out about what they knew because Epstein had so many rich, famous, elite friends. They were intimidated and threatened with harm if they spoke out. They talked about the psychological pain they had endured for years. A number of the victims have committed suicide.
WILL CONGRESS RELEASE THE FILES?
The reason these victims were speaking out was to get more Republican Congressional representatives to sign a discharge petition that would force the release of the Epstein files over the objection of Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House. They also spoke directly to Trump, who could order all of the Epstein files released. He has the power to do that.
They asked: “Why isn’t Congress (and Trump) simply releasing the Epstein files- all of them- to the public?” What do they have to hide? Who are they protecting?” The House oversight committee led by James Comer keeps claiming they have released new information but 97% of the information being made public so far was already made public.
The discharge petition has bipartisan support –ALL of the Democrats in the House and four House Republicans will sign it: Lauren Boebert, Margery Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie and Nancy Mace. If there are just two more votes, it would force the full release of all the files in possession of the government. Those two additional votes are coming because there are two more Democrats who are about to join congress replacing two Democrats who died, and Eric Swalwell, who has been away will be returning in a few days. All of those Democrats will sign the discharge petition. It looks like more evidence will be coming out soon.
TRUMP WANTS THIS COVERED UP
Trump is trying to stop this information from coming out. He again called the Epstein files “a Democrat hoax that never ends”. If this was really a hoax, then there would be nothing to hide and releasing the files would be a nothing burger. Obviously, that’s not the case. Thomas Massie has said that Trump is covering up to protect some of his rich Republican donors and cabinet members. But Trump promised transparency if he got elected and many MAGA voters voted for him because he promised that. They want him to live up to his promise.
In an interesting twist, the victims say they are ready to write up their own list of the men who molested them. The list would not reveal the names of the women victims who identify the men they were trafficked to (so that the victims would not be subjected to lawsuits). MTG says she is ready to announce the names of these men in Congress. She, like other congressional representatives, are protected from a lawsuit (presumably for slander) by the speech and debate clause of the Constitution.
WHAT IS TRUMP HIDING?
Trump has been brilliant at changing the subject when he doesn’t want the American people to be talking or thinking about something that’s bad for him. But when it comes to the Epstein file, he can’t work his usual magic. Why?
Maybe this is why:
Katie Johnson (pseudonym) says she was raped by Donald Trump when she was 13 years old. More than one time. Trump knew she was 13. She was one of the sex trafficked girls who had been recruited to be in Epstein’s pedophilia ring.
Katie almost spoke out about how Trump raped her before he was elected president the first time. She had a press conference scheduled by her attorney in 2016, but she was scared off by threats. Too afraid to speak out, her attorney cancelled the press conference at the last minute.
On November 4, 2016, four days before the presidential election, a woman known only as Jane Doe was due to hold a press conference in Los Angeles. The subject? Her allegation that Donald Trump raped her when she was 13, in 1994, at a party of Jeffrey Epstein’s.
If you read her transcript below you will see why she had reason to be afraid of him.
As a former criminal prosecutor in Philadelphia in a special courtroom where children were the victims of these kinds of sex crimes by adults, Katie Johnson’s account is credible and believable to me in particular because of the details in her retelling of these experiences with Trump. Those details include how he talked, the way he talked, how it was that Trump KNEW she was 13, what he talked about and bantered about with Epstein, the racist comments he made which Katie overheard. Her retelling of the interactions of the recruiter, Tiffany, with Trump, as she tries to please him and placate Katie Johnson as she is being abused by Trump, are also believable. Katie recounts Trump’s insistence on having her use gloves when he touches his penis and he another time when he insists that she use a condom. Trump is a germaphobe. Trump is attracted to this particular 13-year-old girl because she looks like his daughter, Ivanka, when she wears a blond wig. Ivanka was the same age as Katie at the time she was raped by Trump.
It would be impossible to come up with these details without having had the experiences she describes.
Even if this victim, who is now in her 40s, did not recall everything perfectly that happened when she was 13 years old, she still credibly places Trump in the very group of global elites who get away with pedophilia because they are rich and powerful.
Is this the story Trump doesn’t want you to know about?
JUDGE FOR YOURSELF. HERE IS HER INTERVIEW as transcribed by Kate Manne, professor at Cornell University https://katemanne.substack.com/p/the-actual-conspiracy-theory-surrounding (Warning: this is pretty raw stuff).
I came to this interview of my free will. No, there was nothing promised to me for doing this interview. Yes, everything that I say in this interview will be the truth.
I met Donald Trump at some parties that I was working for Mr. Jeffrey Epstein. There were about three or four times that I had encounters with Donald Trump. I was 13. The first time that I met Donald Trump was at a party at Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion. There was an orgy going on and he was kind of watching off in the distance.
He basically asked if I could come over and give him a hand job. At first I wasn’t very comfortable with it. This was my first party and I didn’t think that that was my responsibility. But my recruiter told me that I needed to do it. So I agreed to it and then he, you know, I began to—sorry this is a little difficult. But before I gave him a hand job he kind of slapped my hand away and said, “You need to use a glove.” The recruiter ran over and handed me a glove and said, “No one touches Mr. Trump’s penis without a glove.” So I needed to use a glove. I gave him a hand job and then immediately after he had an orgasm he left and I didn’t see him again at that party…
I originally came to New York trying to be a model and in my travels I met a girl named Tiffany there who was very interested in me and said that that’s what she did is that she helped girls, you know, get what they wanted. She could help me get into modeling, that she knew a lot of people that were higher-ups and that it would be no problem. And so that’s why, you know, I would just basically have to come model at a couple of events and meet some people, there would be no sweat. So of course I went, you know, that sounded like no big deal. And she was recruiting the girls to come to these parties and they all looked, I mean most of them were my age. There were maybe a couple girls that were maybe 14 or 15 but it seemed to me like we were all very young.
Jeffrey Epstein knew that I was 13 years old. When he interviewed me, he asked me to get down to my bra and just my panties and I thought that was weird but, I mean, modeling. Maybe it was something about my figure. He asked me to give him a massage. He asked me my age, I told him that I was thirteen, I told him why I was there, and he basically said, “Well, you’ll do, you know, I’m sure that you’ll fit pretty nicely here.” And then he tried to basically slip himself inside of me. And I pushed him away and I said, you know, I’m—because at that point in time I still believed that there were models and then there was the girls that did that. Like I thought there was a separation. So I told him that I wasn’t interested in that but he said that I would do.
And as far as Donald Trump, he knew that I was 13, and I believe that Tiffany told him. He seemed to take a liking to me because I was so young and I was also a virgin. So, I don’t know, he seemed like he wasn’t really into having girls that were liked by the other guys. The whole glove thing—he kind of liked things to be his first, you know, for lack of a better term. He was the one who wanted to get to a girl before everyone else did.
Donald Trump knew that I was 13 because the first night that I was there, Tiffany actually suggested that and she had a whole bunch of different wigs and I expressed interest in them and I always told her that I would love to walk around with blue hair. And so I tried some on and there was a blonde wig that she said that looked great on me. So, I wore that wig and Donald Trump had specifically asked about me because I remind him of his daughter and she said, “Well, she’s 13 as well.” So, he knew the first time that he saw me. He took a liking to me because I looked like his daughter.
The reason I’m coming out now is—when it happened originally, I just wanted to forget about the whole incident. And when I saw that he was running for president, I felt that it was my responsibility to come out and tell our country what kind of man this person is. I don’t think that he should even be the dog catcher, let alone running the greatest country in the world…
The first time that I met Jeffrey Epstein, he did try to force himself inside of me without getting the go-ahead or anything. And then it was probably about the third or fourth party is when he basically forced—it was another massage and it was basically like, it wasn’t sex, but it was, there was penetration. And I told him that I didn’t want that, but he kind of got a little irritated. So, I don’t know, there was something about him that, I guess I kind of held a lot of resentment towards him. By the time that that happened, I already started catching on that maybe I wasn’t there for modeling and maybe I was just getting used for things and I kind of held him responsible.
I did receive money to go to these parties. After every party, I was paid by Mr. Epstein. There wasn’t, out of all the girls that were there with me, most of them were 13, 14. I think the oldest one might have been 16, but just turned 16 and she’d been there for a while…
Second time that I saw Mr. Trump was, same scenario, he was an onlooker at an orgy and Tiffany came over to me and said that Donald Trump had requested that I perform oral sex on him. And never, I’d never done something like that with anybody, so I was a little nervous. So, I walked up to him and he was sitting there very proud-like and I just kind of moved in that direction and he kind of slapped me away and said, “What are you doing? You need to put a condom on.” Like I was some dirty filth or something. Tiffany ran over and handed me a condom and apologized profusely and said that would never happen again. And she looked at me and scolded me basically like a child and said that, “That’s not how: Donald Trump always, anytime anyone touches his penis it needs to have a condom on or a glove. Especially when it comes to performing oral sex.”
So, I apologized and then I performed oral sex on him. And once again, once he was done, he hopped up and that’s the last I saw of him at that party. It’s like once he’s done, he’s out. Some of the things that I noticed that were weird with him: sometimes before the parties he would come over and Jeffrey Epstein and himself would kind of banter back and forth and he was very, Donald Trump was very racist. He said a lot of racist things. There was a lot of comments towards Mr. Epstein about being Jewish and he called him a Jew bastard, said that he was cheap and there were some words I didn’t even understand.
Something about his, you know, the shape of his penis being directly related to his mole or, I mean, I’m not too familiar with the Jewish tradition—but I’m pretty sure that whatever he was saying wasn’t very nice. He also referred to, you know, people of Hispanic origin, he called them Spicks. That was around the first time that the World Trade Center had gotten bombed in the 90s. And he was talking about the towel heads and how we would just be better off if we didn’t let them in and basically got rid of everyone, every single one that was already here. And it made me really uncomfortable, really, really uncomfortable.
He also loved to call Black people n—– and Arabic people he called sand n—–. The only time that he tried to give me some money was our last encounter together, where he acted out a rape fantasy. I was forced to give that money back because Jeffrey Epstein paid us after the party. I don’t even know why he gave it to me, maybe to make me feel more cheap. It was a rape fantasy to him, but I wasn’t playing.
The next thing that Tiffany approached me with was that he had a fantasy where he walked in on his maids, maids basically making out and it was some type of fantasy for him. At that point, I was like, “I don’t want to be involved with anything that has to do with him.” But she’s like, “You are just basically the other one. So, there’s nothing that you will have to do. Just—he’s requesting you to be involved.” So, I reluctantly—I mean, I felt like I didn’t have a choice there, but it was basically, he’s walking in on his two maids, I was one of the maids, I was the white maid. And there was a Spanish girl, Maria, who was the Hispanic maid. And we were making out and he walks in and he gets really angry and threatens to call immigration on Maria if she doesn’t come over and make things right and give him a blow job.
So, while she is over there giving him a blow job, I am supposed to look scared like, “Oh, oh no,” cleaning up things and pretending like I’m trying to go back to my job as a maid. And then he’s being so rude to Maria. I felt so bad for her. It just didn’t seem like a fantasy. It’s the weirdest fantasy as far as that goes. He was threatening, he was threatening to call immigration on her. She wasn’t even near going down to give him, perform oral sex on him before he slapped her away and said, “What are you doing? You know you need to put a condom on.” And she’s trying to say “I’m so sorry.” And he’s like, “You can’t even, I can’t even understand what you’re saying. Just speak English!” He called her derogatory comments. And then he’s like, “You know what, you don’t know what you’re doing. Have her come over and show you how it’s done.” And so I, again, I said that I didn’t—I had to go over there or else he was going to call immigration on Maria. I didn’t know if it was true or not, but he said that if I didn’t show her how to perform oral sex on him, then he was going to call immigration on her and then get rid of us both.
Anything that was in relation to him getting off or being satisfied or happy had to do with him being in power, extreme power. And it was always intimidating when he was like that. You didn’t really know if it was true. If you refused to play along, would he really call immigration on Maria? Would he really get rid of us both? And I didn’t even want to know what that meant. It wasn’t a game.
The one night that I had the blonde wig on, he mentioned that I reminded him of his daughter. And actually the maid’s fantasy, I didn’t have a blonde wig on. I was trying to stay away from blonde wigs at the time. But he actually requested, told Tiffany that that’s what he wanted me to wear. Like he wanted it, and anytime I put it on, anytime I had it on and he’d see me, he would say, “Oh man, you look—” and it wasn’t like a, “Oh, you remind me of my daughter.” It was this sick, evil “You remind me of my daughter.” It was just this weird pleasure, sick smile. Like I don’t even want to know what he was thinking about. I could imagine what he was thinking about.
After the parties would end, we were to report to Mr. Epstein and basically tell him everything that happened, with who, what they liked, what they disliked, if there was any requests, if there was any talk about anything. That’s what we told Mr. Epstein—everything. And then he paid us, and then we got to go home.
The fact that Trump has a chance to be the next president makes me feel disgusting inside. I’ve always been proud to be an American. I think we live in a beautiful country. But I just see him ruining everything. He’s horrible, what he portrays on the outside isn’t even that great, but people don’t even know the half of how evil, how sick and twisted that man is. I have a friend that’s been my friend ever since the school year that I stopped going, the eighth grade. I confided in her, and she knows all about it. She knows everything…
I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to save the country that I believe that we have. I know what he does behind closed doors. I’m willing to sacrifice my life to put our country back in the right—like, going maybe in some type of positive direction. Not even, there’s no right or wrong, but a positive direction. This guy’s not going to take us anywhere positive.
You know, as far as my life changing by coming out with this information, I’ve thought long and hard about whether or not I should. And I’ve gone back and forth. But I think that the American people need to know what kind of man this person is. And if my life changes because of that, then so be it. But the American people need to know what they’re dealing with. If I had the chance to talk to Donald Trump, I would run the other way. I’m scared of him like I’ve never been scared of anything else in my entire life. I can’t explain it to you, but the fear of him even being in a next room, I have a panic attack.
The last encounter that I had with Donald Trump, Tiffany approached me about a rape scene that was supposed to be played out. And I didn’t like the sound of that at all. But Tiffany promised, assured me that it wasn’t going to be—if it was anything I wasn’t comfortable with, we could stop. That she would be right there and that it wouldn’t get out of hand. And that it was just a fantasy, like it wasn’t really going to happen. And so I told her that I would. I mean Tiffany was always nice to me. I trusted her, or else I wouldn’t have always done what she asked me to.
But she was there and he came in and I was basically tied to a bed with pantyhose. And they were so tight it hurt to even lay there. And I tried to say something and he was just “Shut up! Shut up, b**ch!” He was being really, really rough.
It just didn’t seem like a fantasy. And I started to get scared and he was basically like ripping my clothes off. And I got freaked out. I told him that I didn’t want to do this. I screamed over for Tiffany and she was like, “Mr. Trump, she’s only, she’s not—this is scaring her.” And he’s like, “Oh you shut up too.” He just turned into this animal. It was like a completely different, completely different person. It was like everyone in the room was scared of him. And I couldn’t do anything about it.
He ripped off all my clothes and he started to basically have sex with me and I was screaming. I’d never had sex before, it was my first time and Tiffany was yelling at him too. She was saying I was a virgin and he told us to just shut the f**k up and just basically took my virginity while I was crying and telling him to stop and basically begging for him to just stop. And Tiffany didn’t know what else to do either. No one was there to help us, or me. And so, after the fact, he basically finishes. It didn’t take that long at all. But it felt like it was like five and a half hours. It felt like it was an eternity.
I was crying and Tiffany was consoling me and she was apologizing. She told me that she would never put me in that situation again. But he comes over mad because I was crying and he said that I should be thankful that someone like Donald Trump took my virginity. Well, he didn’t say took my virginity. He said, I should be glad that someone like Donald Trump popped my cherry and not some pimply little 14 year old. And I just was like, “What if I get pregnant?” Not even talking to him. I didn’t want to talk to him. I was talking to Tiffany and he said, “Well you’ll get an abortion then, b**ch.” And then just walked away. And I told Tiffany I needed to go home. I never went back again.
I guess it’s for you to decide. I don’t have any kids myself because I’m afraid to have kids because who knows what kind of damage they can get into, but if you have a 13-year-old daughter, would you be okay with the person who’s running our country doing that to your little girl? And I just, I don’t know. I just want people to know. I think that I have a faith in our society that we’ll make the right choice. He seemed to be taking great pleasure in dominance and control and the more I screamed, the more I got scared, the more he was enraged with power and it was like he was just charged with it. It was scary.
POLITICO REPORTED IN 2016
The woman making the claims is referred to as “Jane Doe” in the most recent court complaints filed in New York, but as “Katie Johnson” in a similar suit filed in California earlier this year.
“I loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop, but he did not,” Jane Doe wrote in a formal declaration accompanying her recent suits. “Defendant Trump responded to my pleas by violently striking me in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted. … Immediately following this rape, Defendant Trump threatened me that, were I ever to reveal any of the details of Defendant Trump’s sexual and physical abuse of me, my family and I would be physically harmed if not killed.”
Katie Johnson did not hold a press conference to expose Trump in 2016 and she was not part of the group of victims who spoke out on Capitol Hill on September 3rd, 2025.
Anyone could understand why she did not feel safe enough to tell her story.
What do you think? Could this be the reason Trump won’t release the Epstein files?
