https://www.rawstory.com/2018/08/new-york-judge-says-trump-authorized-condoned-security-guards-rough-protesters/amp/A New York State judge has shot down an effort by President Donald Trump to dismiss a lawsuit against his private security guards for allegedly roughing up demonstrators who were protesting outside of Trump Tower months after he announced his presidential run.
The New York Law Journal reports that Bronx Supreme Court Justice Fernando Tapia on Tuesday declined to dismiss the suit filed by protesters who claim they were roughed up by the presidents security team back in 2015.
Specifically, Tapia said that Trump himself authorized and condoned his security guards to rough up the protesters, and he specifically cited the presidents statement that maybe they deserved to be roughed up on the grounds that it was absolutely disgusting what the protesters were doing.
The lawsuit was filed by five Latino activists who claim that they were roughed up by longtime Trump bodyguard Keith Schiller and two other men who were employed as part of the then-candidates security personnel.
And the hits just keep on comin'!
