‘Super-Creepy and Inappropriate’
A former Trump campaign staffer has filed a lawsuit accusing now-President Donald Trump of sexual assault.
Alva Johnson told The Washington Post in an interview Trump grabbed her hand and tried to kiss her on the lips at an August, 2016 campaign event without her consent.
“I immediately felt violated because I wasn’t expecting it or wanting it,” Johnson told the Post. “I can still see his lips coming straight for my face.”
She says she turned her head and the kiss landed on the side of her mouth. Johnson describes it as “super-creepy and inappropriate.”
Johnson told her boyfriend, and her mother and stepfather that same day, and later sought our and received help from a therapist.
Johnson would be at least the twenty-third woman to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, in an unfortunate choice of words, described the allegation as “absurd on its face.”
“This never happened and is directly contradicted by multiple highly credible eye witness accounts,” Huckabee Sanders told the Post.
In September of last year Business Insider published a list of 22 women who have accused Trump of various degrees of sexual misconduct, “which include ogling, harassment, groping, and rape.”
Trump has denied every allegation, and has promised to sue every one of the women. He has not.
