Witness told FBI Trump threatened to 'disappear' girl and have her 'whole family killed'

Under penalty of perjury, a witness told the FBI back in 2016 that they had “personally witnessed” President Donald Trump threaten to “disappear” a girl and have her entire family killed, according to a document released by the Justice Department on Friday.

Released as part of the DOJ’s publication of around 3.5 million files on Jeffrey Epstein, the FBI tip was submitted by an individual using the pseudonym “Tiffany Doe,” and includes details of an alleged threat Trump made to a plaintiff in a lawsuit.

“I personally witnessed Defendant Trump telling Plaintiff that she shouldn’t ever say anything if she didn’t want to disappear like the 12-year-old female [redacted], and that he was capable of having her whole family killed,” the FBI tip reads, signed under penalty of perjury on June 18, 2016.

If you are sufficiently rich, are sufficiently powerful, and/or possess blackmail info, you will never be held to account.

5. Suspension of Disbelief--Rant Du Jour
Sun Feb 1, 2026, 07:02 AM

Having worked with hundreds of motion picture and television titles I’ve said it from the beginning: to understand we must look at this shitshow as a bad reality-TV production with OranJello as producer/director and lead actor.

The first media trick was to get MAGA to suspend disbelief—normalize—degraded and vulgar behavior.

The proof of concept is MAGAts haven’t yet been exterminated like the vermin they are because Americans refuse to believe a Russian spy could win the election. And instead, they believe every existing truth is bogus.

We Americans love our celebrities, especially the fake ones. Why? Because they tell us to love them.

Or else we’re pedophiles, election thieves, traitors, biased, or violent. You know, everything a MAGAt can project on someone else with an unlimited budget of taxpayer funds.

6. Was she the one who had started a court case and it was mysteriously dropped before the election?

That was around the time Stormy and Karen were paid off. I'll never understand how someone could vote for him after hearing the "Access Hollywood" tape and all the news about the payoffs.

7. The religious right decided that they had to vote for him so they could freely persecute women and LGBTQ+.

And minorities as well. The MAGA religion is all about their rights to control other people and the power to use the government to enforce their perverted beliefs. Trump's sexual predation was thus easily ignored because it just affected females, whom they already saw as second class citizens and evil for luring good men to do bad things.

It’s the “Katie Johnson” case which she dropped. A video of her in disquiet was made.
