Los Angeles (CNN)The onetime mistress of former deputy Republican National Committee Finance Chairman Elliott Broidy alleged in newly revealed court documents that she was physically abused by Broidy, and she charges that he was emboldened by President Donald Trump's alleged mistreatment of women and belief that he could get away with it.
The disturbing new allegations about the relationship between Broidy, a Republican fundraiser and Trump supporter, and former Playboy model Shera Bechard were unsealed Friday by Judge Elizabeth Allen White in Los Angeles Superior Court. Broidy and Bechard had signed a $1.6 million agreement that was to be paid to Bechard for an undisclosed "personal injury." The deal required the parties to keep the details of the relationship confidential, but the agreement was breached and it spilled into public view.
"Although Mr. Broidy said that Mr. Trump was 'an idiot,' who 'could not even pronounce the names of countries correctly,' " the newly unsealed court documents filed by Bechard say, "Mr. Broidy admired Mr. Trump's uncanny ability to sexually abuse woman and get away with it. Mr. Broidy began to hurt Ms. Bechard physically during their sexual activities -- touching her in ways to which she did not consent."
Bechard alleges that Broidy, a Republican mega donor, impregnated her and then pressured her to have an abortion. "Initially, he supported her keeping the baby," she says in the court documents. "But he quickly changed his tune and began demanding that she gets an abortion, insisting that 'Nobody can know.' "

He could have honored the settlement and gone his way. No, he had to bring the walls down on himself to save a few dollars.

degenerate? They are all repulsive human beings.
