Trump walks back vow to sue accusers

Source: MSN/USA Today

Donald Trump is denying the accounts of at least a dozen women who have accused him of sexual misconduct. But the lawsuit-loving businessman is no longer committed to suing them.

“Let’s not waste any more time. These stories were fabricated. They’re total lies,” Trump told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos in an interview that aired Thursday.

with that line of questioning. Not that he won't waste his time with a lawsuit.

That said, I don't think he is going to sue anyone and allow himself to be deposed.

12. He didn't "walk it back." He kicked it down the road.
