Attorney Says Trump Could Sue over NYT Article on His Treatment of Women

HeadlineMay 17, 2016

Republicans also vote in Oregon today, even though Donald Trump has become the presumptive presidential nominee after his last two rivals, John Kasich and Ted Cruz, dropped out of the race. On Monday, an attorney with the Trump Organization suggested Trump might sue The New York Times over an article about his treatment of women. The Times interviewed dozens of women who interacted with Trump, from a beauty pageant contestant who said Trump kissed her on the lips to a woman executive who said Trump commented on her weight, telling her, “You like your candy.” The article also referred to Trump’s ex-wife Ivana’s allegations Trump raped her in a fit of rage. In the book, “Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump,” Trump’s lawyers insisted a statement by Ivana Trump be placed in front, which read, “I referred to this as a 'rape,' but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.”
