She ended up withdrawing it, but it is bound to haunt him if he tries to go after Bill.
Another thing that will haunt him -- the claim of rape by his first wife during their divorce action (which she has also tried to walk back, but it's a matter of record. So is his lawyers' false claim that there is no such thing as rape within a marriage.)
So I believe that anything he says to try to smear Hillary with Bill's actions will blow up in his face.

The lawsuit was filed by Jill Harth who then went by Jill Harth Houraney on April 25, 1997. Harth, who was in her early 30s at the time, alleged that Trump engaged in hostile and offensive sexual behavior towards her from 1992 to 1997 including groping her under her dress on several occasions, forcibly moving her to his daughters bedroom in an attempt to have sex with her, and repeatedly, aggressively and inappropriately propositioning her for sex. She called it sexually abusive and LawNewz.com spoke to her in an exclusive interview.
The 12-page complaint is filled with sordid allegations against Trump, often very specific, and including dates and times. At other points in the filing, she presents second hand accounts of even more boorish behavior that she attributes to Trump.
Harth says she met Trump in her capacity as a pageant producer organizing international model search events in the early 1990s. This was around the same time that Trump was active in the beauty pageant world. Harths lawsuit came as her former husband George Houraney was involved in a breach-of-contract dispute with Trump over a beauty contest at one of Trumps properties in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Harth also claimed in the lawsuit that in 1993 Trump made numerous phone calls to her home in Boca Raton, Florida from New York demanding that she sleep with him. In the court filing, she also claimed that on January 9, 1993: Trump forcefully removed (Harth) from public areas of Mar-A-Lago in Florida and forced (her) into a bedroom belonging to defendants daughter Ivanka, wherein (Trump) forcibly kissed, fondled, and restrained (her) from leaving, against (her) will and despite her protests. In the court document, she said that Trump bragged that hewould be the best lover you ever have.

Hoping things don't dive down into the nadir during the GE.
Our country deserves better.
