Donald Trump's Attorney Defends Him Against Ex-Wife's Rape Allegation “You can’t rape your spouse"
The Huffington Post ^ | July 27, 2015 | Marina Fang

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump may have raped his ex-wife Ivana Trump, according to a 1993 biography of the real estate mogul uncovered by The Daily Beast. Trump's attorney on Monday denied the allegation, claiming “you cannot rape your spouse.”

“You’re talking about the front-runner for the GOP, presidential candidate, as well as private individual, who never raped anybody," Michael Cohen, the Trump Organization’s special counsel, told The Daily Beast. "And, of course, understand that by the very definition, you can’t rape your spouse.”

The biography, Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump, by Harry Hurt III, details a 1989 incident in which Trump reportedly confronted his then-wife Ivana, pulling out clumps of her hair and sexually assaulting her. She characterized the incident as rape during the couple’s divorce proceedings in the early 1990s and said she felt “violated,” according to legal documents cited by The Daily Beast....

...Trump, a real estate mogul, has made numerous offensive comments about rape, most notably when he kicked off his presidential campaign last month and alleged that undocumented Mexican immigrants are “rapists.”

Agree!
Cohen is sharp and aggressive FOR his boss!

Cohen’s father had to flee the Nazi’s and 90 percent of Cohen’s family in Europe were decimated.

He’s not going to take junk from anyone especially against Trump!

Nothing like a good suggestive headline attempting to destroy your political opponent.... “Donald Trump’s Attorney Defends Him Against Ex-Wife’s Rape Allegation”

In Ivana Trumps words: “I referred to this as a ‘rape,’ but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.”

The media are indeed dirty bastards.

Andddddddddddddd here we go! Now Trump is a rapist. I wonder if this is the same rape as Ambassador Stevens received while Hillary slept.

“By Friday, the Daily Beast and Huffington Post will be facing a huge law suit.”

That will give the media an excuse to talk about Donald Trump and RAPE for the next few years. Not good for the candidate. And for a lawyer to claim a man cannot rape his wife shows amazing ignorance of the law, and an appalling ability to step on one of the biggest landmines in politics.

They did the same thing to Herman Cain when the Cain Train got too much locomotion.

I don’t see the Trumpster going down as easily as the Herminator. Not at all.

Big deal. They ‘misspoke’. Liberals do it all the time and it’s no biggie.

“Cohen is sharp and aggressive FOR his boss!”

He’s also 100% wrong on the law.

Verify that a husband can rape his wife? That is black-letter law that any first year law student learns.

When Clinton last ran for office, Trump was torn between supporting her and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. ” They’re both terrific people, and I hope they both get the nomination,” he told CNN in 2007, adding that he thought Clinton would surround herself with good people to negotiate a deal with Iran. A year later, Trump wondered publicly why Clinton wasn’t chosen as President Obama’s running-mate.

In 2012, as Obama was running for re-election, Trump called Clinton “terrific” again in an interview with Fox News, saying she performed well as Secretary of State.

“Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman,” he told Greta Van Susteren. “I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she’s given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.

And on Fox and Friends on Wednesday, Trump explained why he donated to Clinton’s campaigns.

“I’m a businessman. I contribute to everybody,” Trump said. “When I needed Hillary, she was there. If I say ‘go to my wedding,’ they go to my wedding.”

This story speaks nothing about Trump’s character. Your posting of it does speak volumes about yours.

This story has since come out as false and she recanted it. You must be so proud.
