Trump Threatens To Sue His Female Accusers

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-sue-accusers_us_57fefc08e4b0162c0439f4c7

Donald Trump’s campaign signaled Wednesday night that it may sue women accusing the GOP nominee of sexual misconduct, escalating its defense to new claims of Trump’s predatory behavior published in The New York Times and elsewhere.

“NYT editors, reporters, politically motivated accusers better lawyer up,” a high-ranking Trump campaign source told CNN....

Trump has a history of legal intimidation. According to USA Today, Trump and his businesses have been involved in 3,500 lawsuits over the years, easily making him the most litigious presidential candidate of all time.

The Times report is one of several on Wednesday quoting women telling first-hand accounts of Trump’s sexually aggressive behavior. People magazine published its reporter’s first-person account of Trump suddenly kissing her during a break in a Mar-a-Largo interview with Trump and his wife, Melania.

Unusual legal strategy, but we are talking about Donald Trump after all.

Trump would expose himself to depositions and sworn testimony - he has been taped repeatedly claiming to have done exactly what these women claim he has done.

There is no way he comes out not being a liar!

Poor pussy-grabber's fragile ego and reputation have been damaged. He's been so defamed. Must litigate to prove he's the alpha male and he's on top in all matters.

think about it. If he feels comfortable threatening Ms Clinton, think what he would do with these ladies.

He can't sue people for reporting the truth about what he himself has bragged about. What an idiot!
