A woman who had accused Donald Trump of raping her when she was a 13-year-old dropped her lawsuit against the Republican nominee on Friday. One of the accuser’s attorneys, Thomas Meagher, filed a one-page voluntary dismissal in district court in New York late Friday. Bloom’s mother, Gloria Allred, is an attorney representing several women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct. Trump had been given a tentative court date for the civil lawsuit of 16 December and has denied all the accusations made against him. A virtually identical lawsuit was filed in April in California and dismissed for technical errors.
