Trump Settled Sexual Harassment Lawsuits. When Can He Resign?

While Republicans and the media have been talking about settlements for sexual harassment lawsuits, why aren't we revisting Trump's lawsuit settlements?

A woman who accused Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump of attempted sexual assault in a 1997 lawsuit has spoken out publicly for the first time about her claims of how Trump allegedly cornered and groped her.

"He pushed me up against the wall, and had his hands all over me and tried to get up my dress again," Jill Harth, a makeup artist who met Trump at a business presentation, told the Guardian on Wednesday 20 July. "I had to say: 'What are you doing? Stop it.' It was a shocking thing."

She added: "If I hadn't pushed him away I'm sure he would have just went for it. He was aggressive and he has a sense of entitlement and he thinks everyone ... every woman ... is in love with him."

Harth filed the suit, then dropped it just weeks later after Trump settled Houraney's $5 million suit for a smaller, undisclosed sum. Harth said the money from Trump was also intended to settle her suit.
