Woman Who Reportedly Accused Fauci Of Assaulting Her Claimed Trump Supporters Paid Her To Lie

In a blatant effort to take down Dr. Anthony Fauci in order to please President Donald Trump, a pair of his supporters actually paid a woman to accuse the National Institutes of Health’s infectious diseases expert of sexual assault. And she blew the whistle on them.

*snip*

There’s a reason why the story gained little traction. It involves Trump supporters Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, both of whom regularly drum up fake sexual assault accusations that end up backfiring against them. They’ve put out several false allegations over the years in an effort to hurt Trump’s enemies.

They are the same ones who paid a young man to accuse Pete Buttigieg of sexual assault and a woman to accuse Robert Mueller of the same. Whenever they think trump needs help in some way, they find and pay someone to make false accusations.

for other examples. And we need to be wary as criminal dirty trickster Roger Stone is not in jail and working on trump's campaign again.

They contacted a lot of people who worked with Reid at the time and others she has mentioned in other interviews. They found inconsistencies in her story, and she quickly lost credibility.

With that being said, I'm sure she'll be brought out of cold storage in the next couple of months to be used in an attack ad. There are too many salacious headlines from right-wing news sources for the GOP to let the issue go to waste.
