does anybody know whats going on with the Elizabeth Mae Davidson's Gender Discrimination lawsuit?



Elizabeth Mae Davidson, a former staffer for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign, has filed a gender discrimination complaint with the Davenport, Iowa Civil Rights Commission about her treatment while working for the campaign, according to the New York Times.
In the complaint, Davidson alleges that that men and women with the same job titles were paid unequally. As a district representative, she claims that she was paid $2,000 a month and classified as part-time because of her other job as a paralegal. Yet she says that another male staffer in the same situation was paid more. According to the Times’s analysis of public filings, several men with the same title made $3,500 to $4,000 a month.
The complaint also says that men planned and spoke at rallies while she wasn’t allowed those opportunities, and that when she met Trump at a rally last summer he told her and a female volunteer, “You guys could do a lot of damage,” referring to their looks.
