Ex-Trump Staffer Accuses Him of Forcibly Kissing Her

HeadlineFeb 26, 2019

Back in the United States, a former staffer on Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign is accusing then-candidate Trump of kissing her without her consent before an August 2016 rally in Florida. Alva Johnson filed a lawsuit Monday claiming Trump grabbed her hand before moving to kiss her on the mouth. She also claims that the Trump campaign engaged in pay discrimination and that she received less money than her male, white colleagues. Johnson’s lawyer says she was prohibited from speaking out about the incident earlier due to a nondisclosure agreement.
