The thing about all of Donald Trump’s salty "I grab them by the pussy” talk from the 2005 Access Hollywood tape is that unlike what his surrogates including Rudy Guiliani and Jeff Sessions are claiming today, it wasn’t just “man talk”.
According to the story, Jill Harth was with her longtime boyfriend, who was doing a deal for a business partnership, when she was invited to join the two for dinner. When she sat down between the men at dinner, she alleges Trump’s hand moved up her skirt and between her legs.
“He was relentless,” she said about the 1992 incident. “I didn’t know how to handle it. I would go away from him and say I have to go to the restroom. It was the escape route.”
In a deposition she gave in a sexual harassment lawsuit, Harth alleged, “He name-dropped continuously when he wasn’t groping me.”
…
Just a month after the first meeting, Jan. 24, 1993, the couple, along with some of the “calendar girls” from the beauty contest, went to Mar-a-Lago to sign a contract for their event. Trump allegedly grabbed Harth and pulled her into his daughter’s empty bedroom.
“I was admiring the decoration, and next thing I know he’s pushing me against a wall and has his hands all over me,” Harth said. “He was trying to kiss me. I was freaking out.” Harth tried to get away and told Trump no. She got out of the room, found the group she was with and she and her boyfriend left.
And that isn’t all because even though the sexual harrasment suit was settled in 1997, Harth has again come forward to talk about it speaking with the Guardian.

Harth has begun speaking out but Trump has been trying to keep her quiet.
After the New York Times ran a story in May this year about Trump’s history with women, including an account of Harth’s story, Trump’s campaign even reached out to her to pressure her to take back her account, she told the Guardian on Tuesday.
“His office – and I have it on my voicemails that he called, that they called – they asked me to recant everything when the New York Times article came out. They were trying to get me to say it never happened and I made it up. And I said I’m not doing that,” she recalled. Trump’s office denied this.
She was further upset by an interview Trump’s daughter Ivanka gave in the wake of the New York Times article saying her dad is “not a groper”.
Nobody was defending me, that's why I'm talking … I went through hell and I still have to relive this again Jill Harth “I understand that the girl wanted to defend her dad, being it’s her dad,” she said, “but what did she know? She was 10 years old! She was 10 years old at the time. She didn’t know what her father was about, what he was doing, how he was acting.”
Donald Trump who was accused by his first wife Ivana of rape during their divorcee trail after he had cheated on her with Marla Maples, and who has a new third rape allegation against him pending in the courts may have pulled the stunt of being photographed with several of the accusers of mis-conduct by Bill Clinton today during his “debate prep” but he’s potentially opening a pandora's box of accusers who are ready to come forward about his own sexually predatory conduct.
He’s in no position to be throwing stones at anyone else’s sexual misbehavior.
