Trump accusers respond

Lisa Bloom, who represents Jill Harth, who has accused Trump of making unwanted sexual advances on her on two separate occasions in the early 1990s, replied to Trump on Twitter Saturday afternoon.
"If Trump sues accusers we then have subpoena power to require not only Trump but all his enablers to appear for depositions. A field day," Bloom said as part of a series of tweets.
Cathy Heller, who alleged last week that Trump kissed her without her permission in Florida 20 years ago, told CNN, "I hope the threats do not deter others who have something to say."
Temple Taggart, who has also accused Trump of kissing her without her consent, told CNN she wasn't surprised by Trump's threat.
"Regardless, it's still disappointing to think that Mr. Trump lacks enough humility and decency to simply come clean and admit his part in all of this rather than attempt to conceal the truth and silence his accusers by threatening a lawsuit," Taggart said.
Gloria Allred, the women's rights attorney who is representing three of Trump's accusers, predicted Trump's threat wouldn't deter other women from coming forward.
"If Mr. Trump thought that such bullying tactics would silence his accusers and prevent other women from coming forward, he will be sorely disappointed. Women will not be intimidated into silence by Donald Trump," Allred said during a news conference in Los Angeles Saturday.
