In a lawsuit filed Monday morning in Florida, 43-year-old Alva Johnson said Trump had grabbed her hand and kissed her on the lips while he was getting out of an RV during a campaign rally trip on August 24, 2016, in Tampa, Florida. Johnson told the Washington Post he had leaned in for a kiss when she accidentally turned her head, and the kiss landed on the side of her mouth, which was super-creepy and inappropriate.
I immediately felt violated because I wasnt expecting it or wanting it, she told the Post. I can still see his lips coming straight for my face. Johnson, a mother of four, said the unwanted kiss happened after she had brought Trumps campaign volunteer into the RV he was in to take photos with him. According to the lawsuit, she had given him words of encouragement before his rally and told him hes doing an awesome job. Go in there and kick ass. That is when he leaned in for the kiss.
Oh, my God, I think hes going to kiss me, she related to the Post. Hes coming straight for my lips. So I turn my head, and he kisses me right on the corner of my mouth, still holding my hand the entire time. Then he walks on out.
Several Trump employees and allies have denied the claims against him, saying they had never seen or heard of the kiss until now. Kayleigh McEnany, Trumps newest campaign spokeswoman, called Johnsons allegation off-base and unfounded. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders called it absurd on its face. Two of the witnesses Johnson had identified, then-Florida attorney general Pam Bondi and another campaign official, told the Post they did not see the alleged kiss happen.

A former campaign staffer accuses Trump of an unwanted kiss. Now she's taking him to court.
..................................
In interviews with The Washington Post, and in the lawsuit, Alva Johnson said Trump grabbed her hand and leaned in to kiss her on the lips as he exited an RV outside the rally in Tampa on Aug. 24, 2016. Johnson said she turned her head and the unwanted kiss landed on the side of her mouth, which she called super-creepy and inappropriate.
I immediately felt violated because I wasnt expecting it or wanting it, she said. I can still see his lips coming straight for my face.
Johnson said she told her boyfriend, mother and stepfather about the incident later that day, an account all three confirmed to The Post. Two months later, Johnson consulted a Florida attorney about the unwanted kiss; he gave The Post text messages showing that he considered her credible but did not take her case for business reasons. The attorney gave Johnson the name of a therapist, whose notes, which The Post reviewed, reference an unspecified event during the campaign that had left her distraught............................
While more than a dozen other women have publicly accused Trump of touching them in some inappropriate way, Johnson is the only accuser to come forward since he took office and the only one to allege unwanted contact during the campaign. Trump faces a defamation lawsuit in New York brought by Summer Zervos, a former Apprentice reality TV contestant, who claims he forcibly kissed and groped her in 2007.................................
