Overview

  • AOC’s July 11 post on X labeled President Trump a “rapist” while linking his presidency to delayed disclosure of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
  • Republican-aligned activists have accused her of defamation and urged Trump to file suit based on his absence of a criminal rape conviction.
  • Trump faced civil liability in 2023 for sexual abuse in the E. Jean Carroll case but was never criminally charged or convicted of rape.
  • Media and commentators compared AOC’s language to ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos’s defamation dispute, which resulted in a $15 million settlement.
  • The Department of Justice and FBI issued a July 6 memo stating Epstein’s files contained no undisclosed client list and reaffirming his 2019 death as suicide.
