Trump Groping Victim #12

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/303122-ex-miss-finland-trump-groped-me

The 2006 Miss Finland says Donald Trump groped her the same year she won the beauty pageant, according to a new report.

Ninni Laaksonen, now 30, is the twelfth woman accusing the GOP presidential nominee of sexual misconduct before Election Day, The Telegraph said Thursday.

The Telegraph reported Laaksonen’s remarks first appeared in Ilta-Sanomat, her local Finnish newspaper.
Laaksonen said the incident occurred in New York City before she appeared on CBS’s “The Late Show with David Letterman” in July 2006.

Trump was appearing on the program, she said, with her and three other Miss Finland contestants.

“Before the show we were photographed outside the building,” she said of her encounter with Trump.

“Trump stood right next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt. He really grabbed my butt. I don’t think anybody saw it but I flinched and thought: 'What is happening?’”

in their "never happened" file?

Seems like they moved on from a story that broke but a few weeks ago. It's like it never happened. It certainly isn't as important to them as Hillary's emails.

Granted, I don't watch/read as much news as I should. But, it seems to me that every story that concerns his terrible polling numbers always links his decline to that 2005 video.

Keep in mind, the news media need to present conflict in order to retain viewers. The more they can fashion this presidential race as a neck-and-neck contest, the more they can charge for advertising.
