Shesaid that on January 24, 1993, at Mar-a-Lago, Trump offered her a tour of the estate, then pulled her into hisdaughter Ivanka's empty bedroom."He pushed me up against the wall, and had his hands all over me and tried to get up my dress again," Harthsaid, "and I had to physically say: 'What are you doing? Stop it.' It was a shocking thing to have him do thisbecause he knew I was with George, he knew they were in the next room. And how could he be doing this whenI'm there for business?"In 1997 Harth and Houraney sued Trump for breach of contract, and she filed a separate sexual-harassment suit,accusing him of "attempted rape." They reached a confidential settlement in the contract suit, and as part of theagreement Harth withdrew her suit.On Sat, Dec 15, 2018 at 10:51 AM Michael Wolff rote:please noteThe information contained in this communication isconfidential, may be attorney-client privileged, mayconstitute inside information, and is intended only forthe use of the addressee.
