Trump, then questioned if the rape even had occurred, suggesting the victim made it up.
“I heard about a girl that late in the evening knocked on his door, was taken in, was raped perhaps, perhaps not,” said Trump. “I don’t know. Again, I think he was badly represented, but I did see that number one, she knocks late in the night. Number two, she’s dancing in a beauty contest at 8 a.m. I saw the tapes. I see the big smile on her face. She’s dancing happily at 8 a.m. Then Mike Tyson’s in jail for four, five, or six years. I had a real problem with that case. I had a real problem with Mike Tyson’s lawyers. I had a real problem with Don King. I just think that he was really fed out to the wolves.”
Trump noted Tyson still denied the charges and said he believed if Tyson hadn’t testified would have been found not guilty.
Probably a bad decision to publicly announce Tyson's support.
The judge in that case denied the testimony of 3 eye witnesses who saw her all over Mike Tyson, kissing and fondling. If true, it makes it one of the first big fake rape cases.
