Lawyer Promised Cash to Trump Sex Accusers; Told Clients She'd Pay Them for Public Smears

A feminist attorney promised two women they would be financially compensated for publicly accusing Donald Trump of sexual harassment in the waning months of the 2016 presidential election, the Daily Caller website reports today (December 15, 2017).

Lisa Bloom, who represented four Trump accusers -- two of whom came forward -- told the women she could arrange paid media appearances and secure cash from donors in exchange for their public accusations, two of her clients told The Hill, a newspaper in Washington, D.C. that focuses on politics and Congress.

The California attorney told one woman, who decided against coming forward, that a donor was willing to shell out $750,000 for the accusation, and promised another woman a donor agreed to pay off her mortgage, according to contractual documents, emails, and text messages reviewed by The Hill.

Bloom acknowledged accepting donations on behalf of her clients in order to provide for their security and relocation, in a statement to The Hill.
