President Trump Should Sue the Daily Beast for This Disgustingly False Headline

The Daily Beast published one of the most deliberately deceptive headlines I’ve ever seen. And Trump’s lawyers should be all over this.

The headline reads, “New Evidence Corroborates Claims of Trump Sex Accuser, 13."

Read that slowly. It sounds like bombshell confirmation that long-standing accusations against the president have finally been proven true. That's exactly what the Daily Beast wanted you to think. It's also completely false.

Here's what actually happened.

Years ago, a woman accused Trump of sexually abusing her at age 13, in connection with Jeffrey Epstein. Those accusations collapsed almost immediately. They weren't just unsubstantiated — they were built on a foundation of manufactured drama. The whole operation was promoted by Norm Lubow, a former Jerry Springer Show producer who used a fake name to pose as the woman's publicist. Lubow has a well-documented history of recruiting people to perform fictional scandals for public consumption.
...
"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 article begins.

Notice how cleverly Trump's name gets dropped right up front, even though he has nothing to do with what follows.

A couple of paragraphs later, here’s what the article says:

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. [emphasis mine]

1. What was supposedly "corroborated" has zero to do with Trump.

2. The woman was interviewed by the FBI four (4) times. Her story about Trump changed significantly every time. The then-Trump-hating-FBI concluded that she was lying.

Could he realistcally sue though? (Serious question, I don't know.)

Yes, the headline is misleading, but it's also written so that The Daily Beast can try to evade resposibilty for being misleading. They also admit in the article that the claims that were supported had nothing to do with Trump.
