Start your day with TPM.

On Twitter this afternoon I mentioned – in case anyone has forgotten – that Donald Trump has twice been accused of forcible sexual contact in sworn depositions. The first was by his former wife Ivana during their divorce proceedings where you accused her then husband of raping her. During the campaign, Ivana has tried to dismiss the incident. But contrary to many published reports, she has not in fact denied or recanted the very specific claim that arose in their divorce proceedings. I discussed that incident in this post in May. Then there’s the case of Jill Harth, who accused Trump of what her lawsuit described as an ‘attempted rape.’ She too stands by her claims.
