What are the full texts of Katie Johnson's sworn statements mentioning Donald Trump?
Executive summary
Available reporting in the provided sources says an anonymous plaintiff using the pseudonym “Katie Johnson” filed a 2016 California lawsuit alleging she was raped at age 13 by Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump in 1994; that case was dismissed the next month [1]. Multiple later articles and social posts revive or question the identity and fate of “Katie Johnson,” but full sworn statements or complete transcripts are not published in the provided material [2] [3] [1].
1. What the sources actually report about “Katie Johnson”
The consolidated reporting and summaries show that in April 2016 an anonymous woman calling herself “Katie Johnson” sued in California alleging that she was raped at age 13 at a 1994 party at Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan home and that Donald Trump was among the accused; that suit was dismissed in May 2016 [1]. Later pieces and social-media posts resurrect the name, discuss planned public appearances, and describe threats and withdrawal from public life, but these accounts are varied and sometimes opinionated [2] [3].
2. Availability of the “full texts” of sworn statements
None of the provided sources republishes full sworn declarations, deposition transcripts, or verified, complete videotaped testimony attributed to “Katie Johnson.” The Wikipedia summary references the anonymous 2016 lawsuit and its dismissal [1], and the other items are retrospectives and commentary noting a video or planned public statement circulated online in 2025 [2] [3]. Therefore, available sources do not mention or provide the complete sworn statement texts you requested.
3. What the 2016 lawsuit filing and dismissal tell us (and do not tell us)
The reported filing established an allegation in court records under a pseudonym and generated media attention; the dismissal a month later ended that particular civil action as reported in summaries [1]. Court filings can include sworn declarations, but the sources here do not quote or reproduce any such declarations in full, nor do they provide docket numbers, signed filings, or judge’s reasoning in detail [1]. Available sources do not mention the underlying sworn-text content or whether full declarations were ever publicly filed or sealed.
4. Conflicting signals in later coverage and social media
Later pieces and social posts (including what appear to be 2025 viral posts) claim there was a videotaped sworn testimony or that “Katie Johnson” planned a public press conference and then withdrew after threats [2] [3]. These accounts vary in tone and attribution: some present the revival as definitive new evidence, others treat it as viral rumor. The materials provided do not establish provenance, chain-of-custody, or independent verification of any alleged 2025 video or full sworn transcript [2] [3].
5. How reputable summaries (e.g., encyclopedia-style) treat the allegation
A consolidated overview (Wikipedia entry in the provided set) places the “Katie Johnson” claim among numerous public allegations against Donald Trump and notes the 2016 filing and subsequent dismissal without publishing the declaration text itself [1]. That treatment signals that the allegation was notable enough to be recorded in summaries but that primary-source sworn-texts are not reproduced in these secondary sources [1].
6. What to watch next and how to verify full sworn texts
To obtain full sworn statements you would typically look for: official court dockets and filings (which may show declarations or motions to seal), archived news stories that quote or attach sworn declarations, or footage released by a verified legal team. The current supplied sources do not point to any court docket number, scanned filings, or an authoritative repository for a full sworn statement from “Katie Johnson” [1] [2] [3]. Available sources do not mention whether records were sealed, redacted, or ever publicly uploaded.
7. Bottom line and caveats
The provided reporting documents that an anonymous 2016 civil complaint using the name “Katie Johnson” alleged rape by Epstein and Trump and that the case was dismissed [1]. The full sworn texts you asked for are not in these sources; later viral posts and retrospective articles reference video clips or planned statements but do not supply authenticated, complete sworn declarations [2] [3]. If you want the primary documents, check official court records (docket filings) or reputable outlets that publish scanned sworn declarations; available sources do not mention those filings being published.
