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.
