The gathering Summer Stormyby digby
The LA Times noticed a little pattern I haven’t seen before:
Some details of Daniels’ recollections in the In Touch Weekly interview appear to corroborate allegations of Summer Zervos, an Orange County woman who has sued Trump. She charged that he tried to force himself on her at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 2007, and then lied about it.
Daniels, in the In Touch transcript, and Zervos, in court documents, each said that Trump invited them to dinner, asked them to meet at his hotel room, ordered room service rather than going to a restaurant and tried to initiate sex in the room. Daniels said they had sex; Zervos said she spurned Trump’s advances.Both also recalled specifically visiting Trump’s suite in a bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Zervos, a onetime contestant on Trump’s reality TV show “The Apprentice,” alleged a few weeks before Trump was elected president that he tried to sexually assault her in the bungalow. She was one of the women who went public with accusations of sexual misconduct by Trump in the days after disclosure of an “Access Hollywood” recording of him saying that he got away with grabbing women’s genitals without their consent because he was a celebrity.
Trump charged repeatedly in the campaign’s final weeks that Zervos and the other women were lying. He threatened to sue them after the election but has not followed through.
Zervos sued Trump a few days before his inauguration, saying he defamed her and the other women he branded as liars. Trump denies sexually assaulting Zervos and has asked a judge to dismiss the case.
She has a unique perspective on @RealDonaldTrump and Jimmy has a lot of questions! @StormyDaniels pic.twitter.com/woEjLoHiri— Jimmy Kimmel Live (@JimmyKimmelLive) January 31, 2018
