Turns Out Donald Trump Attacked Woman Who Accused Him of Sexual Assault. This Year.

by Rachel Stockman | 9:35 am, October 10th, 2016

Hours before Sunday night’s debate, Donald Trump paraded around various women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct in 1990’s. In his “apology” for the lewd tapes that emerged this weekend, Trump said, “Bill Clinton has actually abused woman, and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated the victims.” In recent days, he’s continued the theme that Hillary is an “enabler” who went after Bill’s accusers. But as we have reported here, Donald Trump himself went after a woman who accused him of sexual assault. In fact, he’s even reportedly sent his attorney after her too. And this wasn’t years ago, this was in July and February of this year.

That’s when LawNewz.com published an interview with Trump’s former business partner Jill Harth who accused Trump of sexual assaulting her in the 1990’s. Just 8 minutes after our interview hit LawNewz.com and in the midst of the Republican National Convention, Trump got on the phone with us to go on the offense. Trump not only denied the allegations, but he also went after Harth. He told LawNewz.com that she was a woman who has “real problems.” In addition, Harth told us Trump also sent his attorney after her to try to get her to change her story.

“I’m angry that he is saying this never happened,” Harth told LawNewz.com during a July interview. “He could just say nothing.. Maybe I’m part of his dirty little past that he wants forgotten.”

As LawNewz first unearthed in February, Harth filed a lawsuit against the real estate mogul in 1997 accusing him of sexual assault, including “groping” her under her dress on several occasions, “forcibly” moving her to his daughter’s bedroom at Mar-a-Lago in an “attempted rape,” and repeatedly and aggressively propositioning her for sex.

Mar-A-Lago and repeatedly and aggressively propositioning her for sex.

Sounds like a man that is sauced up on alcohol and drunk beyond control trying to take advantage of a women while he's in that state. But the interesting thing is - I hear that Trump doesn't drink coffee let alone alcohol - so he was actually doing this to Harth while he was in complete control of his faculties (i.e., not drunk, inebriated or under the influence in any way).

He doesn't even have an excuse for his actions here. LIke this bus audio/video - he used the excuse of 'locker room banter'. With respect to this situation with Harth - he has absolutely no excuse for his actions. He can't say that he had a little too much to drink and got a little frisky. Nothing he can say can excuse this behavior.

Why don't we hear the MSM talking about this? Why are they giving him a pass on this?

Having your experience questioned, invalidated, and denied by others is a horrible thing.

It is long past time for Jill to know that many of us believe her and support her.
