Trump Lawyers Release Video of Kiss With Campaign Staffer Suing Him for Assault and Battery
Lawyers for President Donald Trump released video of what appears to be a very innocent kiss between Trump and campaign staffer Alva Johnson who is suing the president for an alleged nonconsensual kiss that took place during her work on his 2016 campaign.
In a February lawsuit filed in Florida, 43-year-old Johnson said Trump had grabbed her hand and kissed her on the lips while he was getting out of an RV during a campaign rally trip on August 24, 2016, in Tampa, Florida. Johnson told the Washington Post he had leaned in for a kiss when she accidentally turned her head, and the kiss landed on the side of her mouth, which was “super-creepy and inappropriate.”

Johnson’s attorney Hassan Zavareei sees the video in a positive light for Johnson. According to reporting by Politico, Zavareei said, “We are gratified and pleased that we finally have proof what Ms. Johnson has been alleging in this lawsuit,” adding, “It is basically exactly what Ms. Johnson has been saying.”
The interaction presented in the video embedded above — which includes a second cut slowed down to 25% speed, also released by the Trump legal team — is the same interaction Johnson described above, it is difficult to imagine this case proceeding with merit.
yeah the situation did NOT happen as she describes
