President Trump’s lawyer (click here) secretly obtained a temporary restraining order last week to prevent a pornographic film star from speaking out about her alleged affair with Mr. Trump, according to legal documents and interviews....
Additionally, that is why there is a lawsuit. There are conflicting stories and the outcomes are still undetermined. If Trump settles with Ms. Clifford, it might end there.
I really expected Trump to be more slippery than this. Nearly too good to be true. He is trying to get the public to believe there is no basis to Ms. Clifford's statements by painting her as a criminal in need of a restraining order. That treatment of a woman only adds to his liability.
...Although Ms. Clifford said their relationship was consensual, the issue is particularly sensitive to Mr. Trump, whose campaign was dogged by allegations of groping and his boast of grabbing women’s crotches.
Ms. Clifford filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday asserting that the nondisclosure agreement that accompanied the $130,000 payment was void because Mr. Trump never signed it....
Poor, poor, Donald, he is always the victim and never the victimizer.
Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681 (1997), (click here) was a landmark United States Supreme Court case establishing that a sitting President of the United States has no immunity from civil law litigation against him or her, for acts done before taking office and unrelated to the office.
I am certain Ms. Allred and others are aware of such precedent. That is why the restraining order was sought. The women; I think it is 17 or so; have rights and can seek damages from Trump.
There are real reasons, Justice Ginsburg won't retire and women should be grateful for that.
Stevens, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Rehnquist, C. J., and O'Connor, Scalia, Kennedy, Souter, Thomas, and Ginsburg, JJ., joined. Breyer, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment, post, p. 710.
Robert S. Bennett argued the cause for petitioner. With him on the briefs were Carl S. Rauh, Alan Kriegel, Amy R. Sabrin, and David A. Strauss.
Acting Solicitor General Dellinger argued the cause for the United States as amicus curiae urging reversal. With him on the brief were Assistant Attorney General Hunger, Deputy Solicitor General Kneedler, Malcolm L. Stewart, and Douglas N. Letter.
Gilbert K. Davis argued the cause for respondent. With him on the brief was Joseph Cammarata....
In regard to Hillary Clinton; she was a victim, too. She has been villainized by Trump for the sake of politics, but, she was a victim of her husband's problems with women. She was told, no different than the American people, that Bill Clinton did not have a sexual affair with Ms. Lewinsky. So, the villain that is Hillary is not true.
Hillary is a Christian and values her soul. That's legal in the USA. She reflected on her own priorities in regard to her marriage and I am sure Bill is grateful for it.
Hillary also believes her beliefs to be personal. She can easily look across the spectrum of political dogma that traps the LGBTQ community in precarious ways and knows it is wrong for her to continue that victimization as well.
Hillary, no different than other Democratic legislators, believe their spirituality is personal and should remain that way for all Americans. There is nothing uniquely Christian, including Catholic, about marriage. Marriage, while spiritually recognized is a legal issue. Even when carried out in a religious ceremony, it carries very dense legal and moral rights.
Democrats don't play God, they believe in theirs. I think a clear conscience is capable in absence of malice when serving in government. The government at no time should be void of religious people, nor occupied by only religious people. In the USA, it is supposed to be representative of the people. All people.
