Trump's attorneys say they will appeal while women's rights lawyers raise money for the president's accusers

By Frances Stead Sellers March 21 at 10:45 PM

Lawyers for President Trump have 30 days to appeal a New York’s judge’s Tuesday decision allowing a woman’s sexually charged defamation case to move forward, a period that at least one women’s rights advocate is using to seek funds for new legal claims.

Lisa Bloom, a women’s rights attorney who says she has been approached by other potential clients with grievances against Trump, called Wednesday for a “rich patriot” to step forward to indemnify any women who make public their complaints against the president. Bloom declined to provide specifics of women she says she has spoken with in recent days.

Bloom said that some women “are not yet willing to come out publicly.” She suggested that a deterrent to speaking out may be legally binding nondisclosure agreements they have signed in the past with Trump’s lawyers.

“We need a rich patriot to come out and promise to indemnify them for fees and penalties they might incur if they speak,” Bloom said in an email.

1. This is where it gets VERY interesting

Will more people turn on the bully--does a drop become a stream, become a river, become an ocean to drown the Con?

4. I can see them being able to pay the legal fees

but if the contract is enforceable wouldn't agreeing to pay the penalty be unlawful interference in a contract?

5. This case isn't about an NDA - it's a defamation case

I believe you are thinking about the other case where another woman other than Stormy is trying to get out of an NDA. I can understand the confusion given the photo on the article and the number of open cases against Trump.

This case should go the same route as the Paula Jones case against Clinton. The courts ruled that the President has no immunity from civil cases just because he's the President. This is a civil case against Trump and others for defaming a person. Not someone trying to get out of a contract they signed.

6. In every post I see, I always want to add

that in every situation about everything fuckwad has done or is doing, we/dems should tie "republicans" to it. THEY are the ones responsible for the destruction. the US of A.

7. We have all these

negative issues against dementia boy...obstruction of justice,
questionable institutions of gain for cheetox family members,
questionable activities by some family members with foreign
powers..all the lies, the childish tweets...and yet it maintains
a solid, unwavering 30% approval by this countries conservative voters.
Remove the idiot and the rest of us have to live with
the next round of poor choices by these republican morons.

8. I wonder

What could the appeal in the defamation suit possibly be based on?
