Like clockwork, someone has come out from the shadows to accuse President Trump of wrongdoing.
In this case, it's a former model, Amy Dorris, claiming the President sexually assaulted her at the US Open golf tournament.
The President through his campaign team has come out vehemently denying the accusations.
From Fox News:
President Trump's campaign denied a report that he sexually assaulted a former model at the U.S. Open tennis tournament in 1997, an allegation that was reported Thursday by The Guardian.
Amy Dorris accused Trump of approaching her outside the bathroom in a box at the event, grabbing her, "assaulting her all over her body" and sticking his tongue down her throat, according to The Guardian. The publication reported that Dorris felt "sick" and "violated" after the alleged assault.
"The allegations are totally false," Trump campaign legal advisor Jenna Ellis said in a statement. "We will consider every legal means available to hold The Guardian accountable for its malicious publication of this unsubstantiated story. This is just another pathetic attempt to attack President Trump right before the election."
Dorris made the accusations in an exclusive interview with The Guardian:
“He just shoved his tongue down my throat and I was pushing him off. And then that’s when his grip became tighter and his hands were very gropey and all over my butt, my breasts, my back, everything.“I was in his grip, and I couldn’t get out of it,” she said, adding: “I don’t know what you call that when you’re sticking your tongue just down someone’s throat. But I pushed it out with my teeth. I was pushing it. And I think I might have hurt his tongue.”
Via his lawyers, Trump denied in the strongest possible terms having ever harassed, abused or behaved improperly toward Dorris.
Dorris, who lives in Florida, provided the Guardian with evidence to support her account of her encounters with Trump, including her ticket to the US Open and six photos showing her with the real estate magnate over several days in New York. Trump was 51 at the time and married to his second wife, Marla Maples."
These accusers always come out at the most politically convenient time for the Dems and worst possible moment (on paper) for Trump.
Unfortunately people have become so desensitized to these stories that it blunts any ability for people not to view the allegations under a political lense.
She likely won't be the last to accuse the President of something before November either.
Does Trump have any nieces we should know about?
