BEDLAM: Trump Campaign Suggests Top Ally Stone Lied About Willey Payments
Trump Campaign Responds To Media Matters Report
Donald Trumps presidential campaign is reportedly denying a claim from his top ally Roger Stone that Trump gave Kathleen Willey money so she could attack the Clintons.
Yesterday Media Matters reported exclusively that in a February radio interview, Stone said that Trump had contributed an undisclosed amount to help pay off Willeys mortgage so she can hit the road and start speaking out on Hillary. Stone urged listeners to join Trump in sending money to Willey, citing a GoFundMe page and unidentified numerous receptacles through which donors could give.
Willeys accusation that Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her in 1993 -- which was investigated by the Office of the Independent Counsel -- was the subject of a web video Trumps campaign released yesterday.
Fox News John Roberts, who highlighted Stones comments earlier today, reported that the Trump campaign said theres no truth to the assertion that Trump contributed to [the] Willey mortgage GoFundMe campaign.
It is unclear whether Trump contributed through one of the other receptacles Stone cited in the interview, or if Stone was lying.

(182,725 posts)The reason the accusations by Willey weren't followed up and faded away was because everyone at Capital Square (Richmond) was scared to death of her being deposed and being on trial. She was very well known by pretty much anyone who was in the General Assembly. She had way too many names that she could drop.
Local 2nd hand knowledge but it was confirmed by several people who were in the know.
Maybe Trump should have deployed his crack investigative team like he sent to Hawaii.
