The woman known as "Jane Doe," who claims she was raped at a party by Donald Trump when she was 13, canceled an appearance at a news conference Wednesday because she received death threats, her attorney said.
Speaking in front of reporters near Los Angeles, Lisa Bloom said the unidentified woman was set to tell her story for the first time in public, but she "has received numerous threats today, as have all the Trump accusers that I have represented. She is living in fear. She has decided that she is too afraid to show her face. She has been here all day, ready to do it, but unfortunately she's in terrible fear."
