As Colin Kalmbacher at LawNewz writes, Trumps Tuesday morning assertion that media are touting accusations by women he (doesnt) know and/or have never met is an easily-demonstrable lie there are records of him interacting with at least 17 of the 20 accusers.
For the president to claim, for instance, that he never met Summer Zervos, a contestant on The Apprentice who is in the process of suing Trump for defamation, is absurd given that she was infamously fired by The Donald during her 2006 appearance on the reality TV show.
Now, after Trump has essentially claimed he never knew or met any of his accuserswhich is, again, completely falsetheres an opening for each woman on the above list to prove the president lied about exactly that, Kalmbacher writes. And these arent just theoretical musings: at least one of Trumps accusers has signaled her willingness to be deposed in the Zervos case and another accuser is already mentioned in the lawsuit.
Along with Zervos, theres record of Trumps relationships to Cassandra Searles, Jessica Drake, Ninni Laaksonen, Samantha Holvey, Juliet Huddy, Jennifer Murphy, Natasha Stoynoff, Mindy McGillivray, Cathy Heller, Temple Taggart McDowell, Jill Harth and five Miss Teen USA pageant contestants who claimed the president walked in on them while dressing in 1997.

(60,010 posts)Read an article (New Yorker, I think) which talked abut how he drops people dead. He was friends with Roy Cohen ( naturally) for over 10 years, real buddy buddy stuff, right up until Cohen was diagnosed with AIDS.
trump cut him dead, never spoke to him again, denied ever knowing him.
Seems to be his universal go-to when accused to anything.."Never knew them". And he has continued to say that despite video, pictures, and even printed news showing he DID know whoever.
Like the Billy Bush video....
