41. Yes, someone filed a lawsuit under the name "Katie Johnson"

That doesn't make it true and there are strong reasons to be skeptical about the authenticity of her allegations. On top of that, it has absolutely nothing to do with the allegations in the original post (the bluesky post by Kye).

The Bottom Line
Recent claims that new documents prove the validity of the Johnson claims are false, because these documents are from 2016 and have nothing to do with what have become known as the "Epstein docs."

Viral claims that Trump has a history of sexually assaulting children first emerged with the Johnson lawsuits in 2016. Pictures of court documents related to the case have lent perceived credibility to additional unsourced claims of child abuse that followed, and memes frequently combine the two claims.

Such claims are not new, come with several red flags and originated with an aggressive push by a serial fabulist.
