Friends of Trump Accuser Amy Dorris Confirm 1997 Sexual Assault 

HeadlineOct 09, 2020

A warning to our audience: The following headline contains graphic descriptions of sexual assault.

Two friends of former model Amy Dorris — the 26th woman to accuse President Trump of sexual misconduct — say Dorris told them about the 1997 assault shortly after it happened. Last month, in an interview with The Guardian, Dorris said Trump grabbed her, forcibly kissed her and groped her at the U.S. Open tennis tournament in 1997.

In related news, President Trump lashed out at Democratic vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris in an interview with Fox Business Thursday following Wednesday’s vice-presidential debate.

President Donald Trump: “And this monster that was on stage with Mike Pence, who destroyed her last night, by the way, but this monster” — 

Trump repeated the “monster” insult on Twitter, also calling Kamala Harris a “communist”.
