Trump Once Advised Bill Cosby How To Handle Assault Allegations
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-advice-bill-cosby_us_57fbfce2e4b0b6a43034d47c?
Donald Trump had strong advice for entertainer Bill Cosby in 2014 when a reporter for the E! Entertainment television channel asked about Cosby’s growing sexual assault scandal.
Rather than express anger at Cosby over numerous accusations he drugged and assaulted women, or empathy for those who said they had been victimized, Trump criticized the legendary comic for failing to push back harder against the claims.
“I think it’s very sad, and frankly I don’t think he’s handling it very well,” Trump told the network during a red-carpet event.
“And he should say something because he is being accused of terrible things,” Trump continued. “And to have absolutely no comment ― I think he’s getting very bad advice from a PR standpoint.”
