Jamil Smith ?@JamilSmith 11m11 minutes agoOne 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-elects 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.

(7,286 posts)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 wouldn't be suprised if someone put her up to it - to throw us off the Russia Connection Stories.

___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.
