On Saturday, LA attorney Gloria Allred held a press conference with a porn star who said that GOP nominee Donald Trump had offered her $10,000 and a plane ride for sex.
The famous attorney, who is already representing two of Trump’s other female accusers, began the press conference by responding to remarks Trump made earlier in the day. Speaking in Gettysburg, Trump had threatening to sue all of his now 11 female accusers for defamation.
“Women will not be intimidated into silence by Donald Trump,” Allred, a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter, promised. She could marshal “an army of lawyers” to support them and Trump will “have to prove that their allegations are not true” and open himself up to counter suits in the process.
Speaking directly to Trump through the camera, Allred said his threat at Gettysburg was “an admission of the hopelessness of your cause” and “a new low, even for you.”
Then Allred turned the conference over to “Jessica” and let the pornstar whose stage name is Jessica Drake tell her story.
Drake told the story of her meeting with Trump at a golf course in Lake Tahoe, about a decade ago. She was doing some work for Wicked pictures at the time and Trump met and took an interest in her.
Trump invited her to take a walk with her on the golf course, which she did, and asked for her number, which she gave him. Allred passed out a picture that the two of them posed for at the golf course.
That night, Drake alleges that she got a call from Trump inviting her to his room. She was not comfortable going alone and so invited two female friends along, possibly colleagues.
When they came to Trump’s room, Drake says that he hugged and kissed all three of them individually “without asking permission,” talked with them for a while, and let them leave.
Later, Drake said that she got a call from someone speaking on Trump’s behalf and then Trump himself trying to get her back into his room. She told the agent she couldn’t as she had to return to LA for work.
At that point, Trump allegedly called himself and cut to the chase. “What do you want? How much?” Trump asked. He offered her $10,000 and a trip back to LA on his private jet if she accepted the offer, which she declined.
“This is not acceptable behavior for anyone, much less a presidential candidate,” Drake told assembled reporters. She said that she is “not looking for monetary compensation” but rather to “stand in solidarity” with other Trump accusers.
After Drake’s statement, Allred said, “I will take questions. Jessica is not taking questions” and proceeded fill in a few details and draw reporters back to her larger case against that scoundrel Donald Trump.
