This was first reported by a bookLost Tycoon based on an Ivana deposition. According to that account an angry Trumptore off her clothes and unzipped his pants then had with herfor the first time in more than sixteen months. Ivana is terrified. The author calls it aviolent assault and says that inversions that Ivana repeated to some confidanteshe d me. Except Donald Trump denied it. Except Ivana Trump issued a statement that was included in the book On one occasion during Mr. Trump and I had marital relations in which he behaved very differently toward me than he had during our marriage. As a woman I felt violated as the love and tenderness which he normally exhibited towards me was absent. I referred to this as a but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense. What a scoop huh Now it would be one thing if Ivana was making this allegation today. Instead the first Mrs. Trump issued this statement to CNN yesterday The story is totally without merit. Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised three ren that we love and are very proud of. I have nothing but fondness for Donald and wish him the best of luck on his campaign. Incidentally I think he would make an incredible president. Thats thevictim presented by the story. Im sorry but the piece in the Beast where I once worked reads like a hit job calculated to harm Trump. It encapsulates everything that people hate about the media. And I knew even before The Donald went on Greta Van Susterens show that he would use it to attack the media and that his words would resonate. Trump told Greta this was a false allegation from a failing website that never happened and that its amazing what the press is allowed to get away with.

And as we recounted while editions of the book contained a clarification by Ivana and her lawyers subsequent to her lucrative divorce settlement she notably did not contest having described the incident with her exhusband as . In my view the only instructive thing to come out of this story was the incredibly harsh reaction by Trumps counsel Michael Cohen. Here is some of what he told a Beast reporter I will make sure that you and I meet one day while were in the courthouse. And I will take you for every penny you still dont have. And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know Cohen said.So Im warning you tread very f lightly because what Im going to do to you is going to be f disgusting. You understand me You write a story that has Mr. Trumps name in it with the word and Im going to mess your life up� for as long as youre on this frickin planet� youre going to have judgments against you so much youll never know how to get out from underneath it. Avlon seized on this telling meFrankly the newsworthiness of the story was dramatically increased by Trump counsel Michael Cohens attempt to threaten our reporter Tim Mak as well as his factuallychallenged assertion that there is no such thing as marital . |
