In response to a similar lawsuit filed in April 2016, Trump categorically denied the claims. The case was dismissed a month later because the Jane Doe had not filed the proper paperwork. The address she listed in California papers was found to be abandoned property. Her attorney Lisa Bloom tweeted that she had instructed them to dismiss her lawsuit against Trump and Epstein.
