One of the women accusing Donald Trump of sexually inappropriate contact will sue him today.

A woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually inappropriate contact will file a lawsuit against the president-elect on Tuesday, according to attorney Gloria Allred. A press conference in Los Angeles with the accuser and Allred is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. local time. At least 13 women, including the president-elect’s first wife, have accused Trump of forcibly kissing, inappropriately touching or looking at them, or worse. Nearly a dozen women came forward with such accusations after a leaked video revealed Trump bragging to Access Hollywood host Billy Bush about being entitled to “grab them by the p____y” without consent.

Lots of rich people admire his lawyers, the are so greatly awesome.

But they don't work for free.

My understanding is that Ms Allred has lawyers lined up willing to work pro bono

this could get interesting, the longer it gets dragged out

I suspect filing the papers while Trump is still a private citizen may prove to be a smart move.

Or she will back off.

I wouldn't be suprised if someone put her up to it - to throw us off the Russia Connection Stories.

...says accuser (Ms. Zerbos?)passed reputable polygraph test.

Willing to withdraw lawsuit of Trump admits she's telling the truth and that he lied.

___I'm going to bed now, get some sleep for work tonight.

This was an interesting and engaging presentation which should have had the attention and comment of everyone who gave any notice to these issues in the campaign. I hope that happens, for these women's sake, and for the sake of justice.

They just announced they would replay it now.
