Prominent women’s rights lawyer sought PAYOFFS for Trump accusers in 2016

Well well well, looks like the truth is finally coming out and it’s ugly:

THE HILL – A well-known women’s rights lawyer sought to arrange compensation from donors and tabloid media outlets for women who made or considered making sexual misconduct allegations against Donald Trump during the final months of the 2016 election, according to documents and interviews.

California lawyer Lisa Bloom’s efforts included offering to sell alleged victims’ stories to TV outlets in return for a commission for herself, arranging a donor to pay off one Trump accuser’s mortgage and attempting to secure a six-figure payment for another woman who ultimately declined to come forward after being offered as much as $750,000, the clients told The Hill.

The women’s accounts were chronicled in contemporaneous contractual documents, emails and text messages reviewed by The Hill, including an exchange of texts between one woman and Bloom that suggested political action committees supporting Hillary Clinton were contacted during the effort.

Bloom, who has assisted dozens of women in prominent harassment cases and also defended film executive Harvey Weinstein earlier this year, represented four women considering making accusations against Trump last year. Two went public, and two declined.

In a statement to The Hill, Bloom acknowledged she engaged in discussions to secure donations for women who made or considered making accusations against Trump before last year’s election.

“Donors reached out to my firm directly to help some of the women I represented,” said Bloom, whose clients have also included accusers of Bill Cosby and Bill O’Reilly.

Bloom told The Hill she had no contact with Clinton or her campaign, but declined to address any contacts with Super PACs that supported the Democratic nominee.

Talk about dark money. No doubt some of this money was Super PAC money raised to help Hillary win.

I know the left was worried about Trump winning, but this is about as sleazy as it gets.

And just remember, Lisa Bloom was Weinstein’s lawyer who went on a scorched earth crusade to defend him and intimidate his accusers. So she’s already about as scummy as it gets.
