LEGAL/NIKKI HALEY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/UN/WOMEN: “Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said on Sunday [12-10-17] that any woman who has felt violated or mistreated by a man has every right to speak up, even if she is accusing President Donald Trump…
Washington has been roiled by sexual misconduct scandals, with accusations leading to the resignations last week of three members of Congress….
Asked how people should assess the accusers of the president, Haley said, it was ‘the same thing.’
More than 10 women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct before he was president. While filming a segment of the television program ‘Access Hollywood,’ he talked about kissing and groping women.
Trump has denied the misconduct allegations, although he apologized for his comments, which he called ‘locker room’ talk.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said on Thursday that sexual harassment allegations against Trump were addressed by the American people when they voted him into office in November 2016.”
