Donald Trump‘s civil rape and defamation trial is currently underway in New York and most people agree that it hasn’t been going well for the one-term, twice-impeached, 34-count indicted ex-president.

She testified that she, too, was a victim of his unwanted sexual advances, and that the attack happened with Melania just a few feet away.According to Stoynoff, she was at Mar-a-Lago in 2006 conducting an interview with the Trumps for People magazine when the future ex-president invited her into a room alone with him.“I hear the door shut behind me, by the time I turn around he has his hands on my shoulder, pushing me up against the wall and he starts kissing me,” she recalled.Melania was just outside, pregnant with their son Barron at the time and completely oblivious to what was happening on the other side of the door.The alleged kiss left Stoynoff “flustered and in shock” as she tried to push Trump away.
