A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit from a former Trump campaign staffer who accused President Trump of kissing her against her will and the campaign of engaging in wage discrimination against women and African American employees.

In February, former staffer Alva Johnson claimed that during a campaign stop in Florida in August 2016, Trump “forcibly kissed” her outside of one of his rallies. In the lawsuit Johnson, who is African American, also alleged that she was paid less than her colleagues.

But on Friday, U.S. District Court Judge William Jung, a Trump appointee, scrapped the lawsuit in its present form, saying that it was too political in nature. Jung said he would give Johnson 30 days to refile the suit.

“As currently stated, the Complaint presents a political lawsuit, not a tort and wages lawsuit,” Jung said in the order. “Plaintiff will receive a fair day in court, but the Court will try a tort and wages dispute—not a political one. If Plaintiff wishes to make a political statement or bring a claim for political purposes, this is not the forum.”

Support for the extradition bill began to crumble on Friday with several pro-Beijing politicians and a senior advisor to Lam saying discussion of the bill should be shelved for the time being.

The extradition bill has spooked some of Hong Kong‘s tycoons to start moving their personal wealth offshore, according to financial advisers, bankers and lawyers familiar with the details
