Waiting for another report of a Trump attack on a woman - wait no longer

Female reporter: Trump called me the c-word

(CNN) A former Philadelphia Inquirer reporter alleged Saturday that Donald Trump called her the c-word back in the 1980s. Jennifer Lin, who was based in New York, wrote a story about Trump's business dealings in Atlantic City in 1988 when she received a phone call from Trump, she told CNN's Michael Smerconish Saturday.

"The woman said hold for Mr. Trump. And then Mr. Trump began to yell at me. He told me I had s--- for brains. He told me I worked for a s----- newspaper and said what sort of s--- was I writing. I was stunned. He hung up."

Then, Lin claims, Trump called her boss in Philadelphia, where the insults continued.
"He referred to me as the c-word," she said.

Smerconish said that Lin's former editor at the Philadelphia Inquirer, Craig Stock, had confirmed the story to a member of his show team. "He remembers it exactly the way that you told it," Smerconish said to Lin.
