Media companies ask for Trump divorce records

By Harper Neidig

The New York Times Co. and Gannett Co. have requested that the New York Supreme Court unseal records from Donald Trump’s divorce from his first wife, Ivana Trump, according to USA Today.

The couple was granted a divorce because of “cruel and inhuman treatment,” though they later reached a settlement.

In their filing, the two media companies said that the records of the divorce "have become directly relevant to the issues being debated in the hotly contested presidential campaign.”

"It would be deeply incongruous to American democracy to bar the public from seeing the official court records pertaining directly to the credibility and character of a person they must soon decide whether to elect as their president," they wrote.

The Daily Beast reported last year that Ivana had once accused her ex-husband of rape in 1989. She walked back the comments after the report came out, saying that the two are now “the best of friends.”

Trump and Ivana, a former model, had three children: Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr.

I call BS as well.  That is and should remain off-limits.

#NeverTrump told you this would happen.   And the press is doing exactly what we said they'd do.  So don't get all shocked.

Exactly.

These things have a way of leaking out at the most opportune times. Expect a nice fat October Surprise —and, especially since New York did not have no-fault divorce at the time of both of his divorces, so New York divorces are some of the most brutal in America— there will be lots of dirt.

The inevitable leak will cement the fact that Trump is crazy as hell and violent when nobody is watching.

The state of New York seals all divorce records for 100 years.  So, the "media" would have to bribe someone into violating criminal law by leaking the details.

I am sure Those records are as safe as an email on Hillary Clinton's server.

And yet it still happens, "sealed" or not—especially when the Clintons or Obamas are involved.
