LEGAL/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “A woman who last year accused President Donald Trump of ogling her and her fellow Miss USA contestants in their private dressing room said Monday [12-11-17] that the recent tidal wave of sexual assault allegations and repercussions against powerful men has opened a window for her and other women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct to ‘try round two’ and seek accountability from the president…
Holvey was joined Monday by Jessica Leeds, who claims Trump groped her in the first class cabin of a commercial flight in the 1980s, and Rachel Crooks, who said the president kissed her unwantedly in 2005. Over the course of almost the entire hour of Kelly’s show, the three women detailed their allegations against Trump, all of which the president has repeatedly and emphatically denied.
Crooks noted that the Senate was ‘more than willing’ to launch an ethics investigation into allegations of sexual harassment against Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.), who announced last week that he would resign. ‘Why is the president immune to that?’ she asked.”
