President Donald Trump's long-time confidante Keith Schiller privately testified that he rejected a Russian offer to send five women to then private-citizen Trump's hotel room during their 2013 trip to Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant, according to multiple sources from both political parties with direct knowledge of the testimony.

Schiller, Trump's former bodyguard and personal aide, testified that he took the offer as a joke, two of the sources said. On their way up to Trump's hotel room that night, Schiller told the billionaire businessman about the offer and Trump laughed it off, Schiller told the House intelligence committee earlier this week.

It's sad that it's surprising that so many Senators have finally come out against Moore. Apparently being a racist and a bigot is alright, but sexual advances against a minor is where the line is drawn.

There’s a difference between being an asshole and being a criminal. Still disgraceful for a bigot to hold elected office where they’re making legislative decisions, but I think it’s not too arbitrary a line for some people to draw.

what is a comment like this supposed to accomplish or highlight? are you for roy moore?

Seriously. It's obviously a problem spanning every facet of society, bound by no demographics, ideology, religion, or creed. I don't think Housh is playing the "both sides" card, but there is no doubt many out there who will. It accomplishes nothing.

Ziegler seemed unconcerned about that allegation and told the Washington Examiner that any political concern would be mitigated by three things. Moore never had “sexual intercourse” with the girl. Their relationship “happened almost 40 years ago.” And finally, “Roy Moore fell in love with one of the younger women.”

“There’s just nothing immoral or illegal here,” Ziegler concluded. “Maybe just a little bit unusual.”
