Attorney Lisa Bloom, daughter of feminist attorney, Gloria Allred, represented two women who accused Trump of sexual harassment and who were given a total of $700,000 'for expenses'. David Brock, co-founder with George Soros of Media Matters, gave $200,000, and longtime Hillary friend and fashion entrepreneur, Susie Tompkins Buell, paid $500,000 to fund accusers procured by Ms. Bloom.
