ALISYN CAMEROTA (CO-HOST): Nick, he said last night that what we heard on that leaked tape from Access Hollywood that that was just locker room talk, those aren't actions. But, of course, you have done a story about his actions in terms of sexual impropriety and a woman who has accused him of attempted rape.
NICHOLAS KRISTOF: Yeah, I mean, he says it's just words. In fact, the story that I wrote shows exactly how he put his words into actions. It's a young woman. It was a couple from Florida who wanted to do business with Trump. And long story short, they found they got cheated in business, and that in the course of trying to negotiate this business deal, Trump, she says, groped her regularly, and on one tour of Mar-a-Lago, Trump pulled her into Ivanka's bedroom and tried to force himself on her. And she says this went on time and again and amounted to attempted rape.
CHRIS CUOMO (CO-HOST): Did she ever say anything?
KRISTOF: She filed a lawsuit in 1997.
CUOMO: To the police?
KRISTOF: No, she did not go to the police. She says that here she's trying to do business with this guy, and she doesn't want to antagonize him. It strikes me as a little bit comparable to some of the women at Fox News trying to deal with Roger Ailes, trying to manage this impossible situation where they don't want to sabotage their own futures and yet don't want to be groped. And she did not go to the police. She tried to continue to be nice to Trump. She recounts at one point as a defense mechanism she threw up she was so upset. And this is backed up by her 1997 suit, by a deposition in 1996.
CAMEROTA: And she told her partner at the time. He knew what was happening at the time.
