Two media companies have asked a judge to make public Donald Trumps 1990 divorce records, contending they're "directly relevant" to the presidential campaign, USA Today reports. After 14 years of marriage, Ivana Trump cited "cruel and inhuman treatment" when filing for divorce. Though Donald Trump's lawyer at the time told the New York Times the cruelty stemmed from his public appearances with Marla Maples, news of a divorce deposition in which Ivana alleged she had been sexually assaulted by her husband surfaced a few years later and again bubbled up during the campaign. The New York Times Co. and Gannett Co. on Thursday asked a New York judge to unseal the records.
The media companies made the case that doing so would "resolve [that] ongoing campaign controversy" and provide info to voters about the GOP candidate's character.

Machiavellian, amoral.
Which gives her a better surface look than actual love gone wrong.
By all indications Ivana is willing to step up to the mic and defend him. Would make this awfully short-lived.
You are probably right.
How about the fact Hillary has gotten career advancement through her shady marriage.
And you know, I forgot to mention Laura Petrie in that listing of favourite TV wives, lol.
In view that maybe half the voting population has either a) been divorced or b) grew up with their parents’ divorce or c) had a few bad break-ups or d) lived with someone without being married because the prevalence of divorce makes marriage frightening, I don’t think this is going to go anywhere.
Also, Ivana and Marla have both endorsed Trump for President.
Also, Ivana has rights to those records as well, and I hope she sues for an injunction or invasion of privacy here.
It's also how he got his state senate seat in Illinois. The real election in cities like Chicago is the democrat primary as whoever wins that will almost certainly walk into office after easily beating any republican. So to get in all Obama needed to do was win a primary. And to do it he got his opponent in the democrat primary disqualified by a judge.
This guy never won a fair election before he ran for President. Then his opponent McCain endorsed him and let him skate right in, virtually unopposed. One might argue that the only fight he ever got was against Romney and even that came down to the idiotic strategy of praising Obama by using the theme "Obama's a great guy, we all love him! We just wish he would retire". Some opposition!
Democraps just proving they are scummy bottom feeders.... ofc the Mediascum will now investigate and summarize decades of Bill & Hill messes because they are “directly relevant” to the campaign.... what? no? double standards???
The good news is that Ivana has publicly stated she thinks her ex husband will make a great president.
If they succeed in unsealing the records, I’ll bet she comes to his defense.
THAT is how pissed off I am over those corrupt f$@ks in Washington D.C. - both Democrats and RINO's.
So, you're saying that Seth was that most rare of all creatures, an honest RAT?

OOPs, Trump/IVANNA not Ivanka!
Obama managed to get his opponents divorce records released when he ran for the senate.
WOW!
Hope Seth’s girlfriend has protection 24/7.
Trump needs this info pronto.
Thank you!
Same thing happened here in CO for a governors race about 10 years ago.
I’ve forgotten the details, but it was the Dems who forced an unsealing of the records even after both the husband and ex-wife protested.
Cost the Republican the race.
