A former Trump campaign staffer is suing President Trump and his campaign, alleging that the then-Republican presidential candidate kissed her without her consent during the 2016 race

Alva Johnson, a former Trump campaign staffer who lives in Alabama, alleges in a lawsuit filed Monday that Trump grabbed her hand and forcibly kissed her without her consent inside an RV in Florida in August 2016.

After the incident, on her way to the campaign's state headquarters in Sarasota, Florida, the suit claims that"Johnson called her partner, and then her parents, to tell them about what had happened, crying as she recalled the incident." But prior to being hired, Johnson says she first met Trump in November 2015 at a Birmingham, Alabama, rally. At that first encounter, Johnson alleges that he engaged in inappropriate behavior.

CNN has reached out to the White House for comment. Kayleigh McEnany, national press secretary for the Trump campaign, said in a statement to CNN:"The Trump campaign has never discriminated based on race, ethnicity, gender, or any other basis. Any allegation suggesting otherwise is off base and unfounded."

shrinkthinks Did he “move on her like a bitch”? that Access Hollywood tape that millions of Americans saw is corroborating evidence... and Donald Trump is his own whistleblower.

I LOVE TRUMP!

Cool story, CNN... FakeHoax

That sounds like something Donald Trump will do.

ThankYouNext

CNN more fake news lmao CNN is about pure stupid anymore

Like Bondi has any credibility. 🙄 'As a career prosecutor and Attorney General, had I seen anything improper I would have taken action,' Bondi said. 'I was with the president in the RV and these allegations are false.' Mmm, fresh block bait!

This woman was outed yesterday as a fraud. News agencies need to do a better job

Story is probably the dumbest suit I've seen in a long time; everyone cited as a witness refutes her claim, not to mention the fact that this happened in PUBLIC in FULL VIEW OF PEOPLE WHO COULD STOP ANY INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR! A candidate isn't a president so SLAPS STILL WORK!

Fake. Lol

When is he going to learn this move is unsuccessful. Better off goin to get a rub and tug at a day spa. Ooooof madone.

It takes two hands to clap!

LOL

Could Dems please talk this up follow the GOP tactics Everyone says exactly the same thing day after day

No other president in the history of America has so many people indicted gone to jail then trump. He lies every day can't tell the truth, but people still think he's the greatest President ever. Just goes to show how gullible some ppl are, all he does is spew hate

Nonsense.

Good luck sweetie

I believe her. Trump has some serious and I mean serious credibility issues. AlvaJohnson

Hey Dems! Nice try.

Why didnt you say something about it then? What a joke. People like this lady come out when it's most beneficial for them.

I hope this is false and I don't like Trump. The way he looks, is she suing for PTSD? I'm sure she's had nightmares and anxiety episodes. Goodgoogaleemoo!!!

3 years later. “Believe all former campaign staffers”

Prove it first. Left wing media has been running too many unsubstantiated stories for me to believe them anymore.

YAWN.......another very sketchy accuser promoted and amplified to '10' by CNN. Can't report, No news, No truth - CNN.

Living in a posttruth society now.....hoaxes

Is it Ivanka? Seems she’d consent.

People will make up anything these days, won’t they?

He is a disgusting person. Period.

So this one is believed because? I thought two Democrats already refuted this as a lie. Catch up cnn MSNBC already proved it false.

Blah blah blah....another stormy looking for attention!

Cant get him on the Russian collusion so now we are back to harrassment....really? Get a f******g clue!!

'Latest Trump victim comes forward....'.

Democrats want Medicare for all, except newborn babies. Unbelievable. Senate Democrats just voted against providing medical care for babies who survived abortions.

More fake news. Don't you guys get tired of losing ?

Let's hope that this one goes somewhere.

And how’s that Virginia rape cases going?

These fake accusers need jail time.

So russian collusion failed. Plan c new bullshit spin aided by CNN and democrats shills. OK on again. And still POTUS and 2020Election looks MAGA

has been repeating this story over a while now. This is the negative coverage Trump supporters always talk about.

Next news 📰 update please.

How Bernie Sanders and Democrats can avoid the 2016 mistakes that gave us Donald TrumpOpinion: As Bernie Sanders revives memories of 2016 divisions, Democrats must remember 2020 is a redistricting year and crush Donald Trump, not each other, Jason Sattler writes for usatodayopinion. usatodayopinion Lol usatodayopinion The GOP & Kremlin are happy to help divide Democrats any way they can. usatodayopinion Sanders is not Democrat. He caucuses with Democrats but he is expressly not a Democrat. To think he will pull together with Democrats misses the point. He is not a Democrat. So no, he won't pull together for party unity. He's not in the Democrat party.
