TRUMP SEXUAL MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS SHOULD BE TREATED SERIOUSLY, SEAN SPICER SAYS

Allegations of sexual assault made against President Donald Trump should be “treated seriously” and his accusers heard, according to his former White House press secretary.

Amid a slew of sexual misconduct allegations in Congress, Sean Spicer suggested the president should not escape scrutiny over the allegations from multiple women that emerged during the 2016 election campaign.

Allegations have been made against Republican and Democrat politicians alike, following revelations of widespread alleged misconduct in the entertainment and media industries, prompting questions as to why the allegations made against the president have not been pursued.

Asked about the allegations against Trump, Spicer told Fox Business Network on Wednesday: “I would say that all allegations should be treated seriously. I think we can’t dismiss people who make those.”

"But I also believe that we need to make sure that we do give people—we are a country of due process," he added.

The former press secretary also suggested that there were “appropriate venues” in which to discuss the allegations against Trump.

He doesn't pay and hasn't paid the banks he's borrowed from, his contractors, his employees.

The only way Trump pays is via a court order.
