Trump acting like he's making another business deal rather than finally meeting up with external reality.

That might work, if there are causes for federal charges. If she was still in school the feds might be able to have some angle on it. But federal charges for sexual assault are far from being "standard". More common is bringing a civil case for monetary liability including punitive damages. IANAL so I don't know whether any of this is possible in this situation.

Last paragraph of the article:

Doesn't let the rapist, Drew Clinton, get tried again though, due to US Constitution protection against double jeopardy.
