http://www.nationofchange.org/news/2016/05/29/crying-rape-trump-unseal-divorce-records/Meanwhile, perhaps the moment has come when blustering Trump should respond to the rape accusations sworn against him by his first wife Ivana during their bitter 1990 divorce, which a court granted her on grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. Journalist Harry Hurt III first recounted the ugly details of Trumps allegedly violent assault on Ivana ripping out her patches of hair and sexually violating her in his book The Last Tycoon.
Although Ivana withdrew her accusation after the Daily Beast reported it last year, Hurt says there is much more to be learned from the Trump divorce papers, which are under seal. So here is a suggestion for Trump, who still refuses to release his tax returns as American presidential candidates have done routinely for decades.
If he wants to accuse other people of rape and intimidation, Trump should unseal his divorce papers and let voters assess his standing to make those charges. The evidence gathered about Bill Clinton by the independent counsels sex probe is public record. If Trump has nothing to hide, he should let the public view the evidence of what he did to his first wife and then they can judge him accordingly. If he doesnt have the guts to disclose those scathing documents, then maybe he should shut up about the Clintons marriage, which endures.
