Trump accuser Natasha Stoynoff, center, cried while alleging that the former president forcibly kissed her without her consent. Donald Trump accuser Natasha Stoynoff cried Tuesday while recalling for a Manhattan federal jury how the former president once allegedly forcibly kissed her — and then told her: “You know we are going to have an affair.”
Stoynoff — who took the stand at trial over E. Jean Carroll’s rape lawsuit against Trump, 76 — said the alleged assault took place at Mar-a-Lago in 2005 as she interviewed the real estate mogul for a People magazine article about his one year wedding anniversary with Melania Trump.
“By the time I turn around, [Trump] has his hands on my shoulders and pushes me against the wall and starts kissing me,” an emotional Stoynoff said. “I started pushing him away.”
The incident allegedly unfolded while a pregnant Melania was upstairs changing and Trump had taken Stoynoff to see a “beautiful” room in the house.
“He was kissing me,” the journalist recounted. “And he was against me and holding my shoulder back.”
Stoynoff said she didn’t scream and she didn’t say anything during the struggle.
“I didn’t say words,” Stoynoff said. “I couldn’t. I tried. I was flustered and shocked. No words came out of me. I tried though.”
She said the encounter was cut short when a butler came into the room and told the pair that Melania had finished changing and it was time for them to go back out to the yard.
