HMMM. Trump bragged about forcibly kissing women, but Trump attorneys want to block testimony
HE SAID
BUSH: "Sheesh, your girl's hot as sh**. In the purple."
TRUMP: "Whoa! Yes! Whoa!"
BUSH: "Yes! The Donald has scored. Whoa, my man!"
[cross talk]
BUSH: " It better not be the publicist. No it's her, it's..."
TRUMP: "Yeah that's her in the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs [breath fresheners] just in case I start kissing her. You know, I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."
BUSH: "Whatever you want."
TRUMP: "Grab them by the p****. You can do anything."

AND THEN, THERE'S THIS:
Carroll lawyers issue legal smackdown dismantling Trump's plea to keep woman he allegedly forcibly kissed off stand
Trump previously asked that E. Jean Carroll be forced to nix Natasha Stoynoff from their list of possible witnesses. She is one of several other women that alleged Trump forcibly kissed them or physically assaulted them. Judge Lewis Kaplan already dismissed his claim. So, Trump sent another letter asking for "clarification."
"...we submit this letter in opposition to Defendant Donald J. Trump’s motion purporting to 'request clarification' of the Court’s decision concerning Natasha Stoynoff’s testimony," the letter said. "Trump does not really seek clarification of that decision, which was perfectly clear in admitting Stoynoff’s testimony and rejecting Trump’s grounds for seeking to exclude it. Instead, what Trump actually seeks is reconsideration of the Court’s ruling. But because he does so: (1) well after the reconsideration deadline lapsed; (2) in sole reliance on a document that he has possessed for over seven months; and (3) in disregard of the legal and factual grounds on which this Court admitted Stoynoff’s testimony, Trump’s motion should be denied."
The two parties have already submitted their motions over the issue and, a little over a month ago, on March 10, Trump lost.
Carroll's lawyers explained that there is nothing that needs to be clarified.
