BUSINESSMAN MARK CUBAN IS DEAD SET ON CONTINUING HIS
FEUD WITH DONALD TRUMP.
NOW HE HAS MADE IT A LITTLE BIT PERSONAL.
HE IS PLAYING INTO SOME OF THE CHARGES OF SEXUAL ASSAULT
AND HARASSMENT AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.
YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT IT IN THIS CLIP.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ABOUT ANYTHING LIKE THESE WOMEN
COMING FORWARD ñ
YES.
AND I KNOW WHY.
IT JUST DIDN'T HAPPEN RECENTLY.
MY FRIEND REMINDED ME AND IT WAS FROM 2000.
I DON'T EXPECT HER TO COME FORWARD.
I KNOW SOMEBODY ELSE FROM TWO YEARS AGO THAT WON'T
COME FORWARD.
AGAIN, THIS IS YOU SAYING THIS.
THIS IS NOT CNN'S REPORTING, BUT TELL US WHAT YOU
CAN.
THAT IS WHAT I CAN TELL YOU.
MY FRIEND THAT WAS DATING THIS ONE WOMAN, JUST REMINDED ME
THE STORY THEY TOLD ME RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED.
THEY PUT IT ALL DOWN IN DETAIL.
THEN I HAD ANOTHER PERSON WHO CONTACTED ME AFTER THE RACE
STARTED AND TOLD ME A STORY.
IT'S ALL SECOND AND THIRD HAND, BUT I WOULD SAY THAT IT IS
ABSOLUTELY FACTUALLY TRUE.
I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT WHAT WE ARE HEARING IS TRUE.
I AM CONFLICTED ABOUT THIS.
IT'S STARTING TO BE A LITTLE UNFAIR TO DONALD TRUMP.
IT REALLY IS HEARSAY.
MY KNEE-JERK REACTION IS TO DISAGREE WITH YOU.
IT CERTAINLY WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED IN A COURT OF LAW.
WELL, MY FRIEND SAID.
AND OF COURSE THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION IS DIFFERENT
IN A COURT OF LAW BECAUSE THAT HAS MORE CONSEQUENCES.
DO I DOUBT THAT MARK CUBAN IS TELLING THE TRUTH?
NO.
BUT EVEN IF HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH, THERE IS A LOT THAT
COULD BE LOST IN THE TRANSLATION.
AND WE DON'T EVEN KNOW THE PERSON THAT TOLD HIM.
IS SHE TELLING THE TRUTH?
I DON'T KNOW.
I TRUST HER MORE THAN HIM IN THIS CASE.
THERE IS A PARTICULAR IRONY HERE.
I TRUST THEM MORE BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT COMING FORWARD, IN
A SENSE, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN.
THE WOMEN COMING FORWARD HAVE A LOT TO LOSE.
DONALD TRUMP IS THE MOST LITIGIOUS PERSON IN THIS
COUNTRY.
HE HAS ABOUT 1000 COURT CASES.
I'M JUST SAYING THE CRITICISM ñ
OBVIOUSLY THESE WOMEN ARE NOT LOOKING FOR CELEBRITY, THEY
DON'T EVEN SAY WHAT THEIR NAMES ARE.
AT THE SAME TIME, HARD TO TELL, JUDGE THE STORY WITHOUT
THEM ACTUALLY TELLING US WHAT IT IS AND GETTING RELAYED
SECOND HAND OR THIRD HAND.
I JUST WANT TO BE FAIR ABOUT IT.
IF THIS WAS THE ONLY THING COMING OUT, I WOULD NOT
EVEN COVER IT.
LIKE THE STORY THAT CAME OUT ABOUT TED CRUZ AND THE FIVE
AFFAIRS.
IN HINDSIGHT, I THINK IT WAS TRUMP'S HATCHET MAN WHO JUST
PLANTED THAT AND IT WAS TOTALLY FALSE.
WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF ALL THE OTHER ACCUSATIONS, AND
CLEARLY THESE WOMEN ARE NOT LOOKING FOR ANY KIND OF FAME.
AND ONE HAS SIX WITNESSES CONFIRMING WHAT SHE SAID.
IT JUST ADDS TO THE CONTEXT OF DONALD TRUMP AND WHO HE IS.
AND MARK CUBAN DOES KNOW HIM.
I WOULD SAY I DON'T LIKE TO DO ANYTHING ñ
I THINK IF A WOMAN WANTS TO COME FORWARD, IF SHE DOESN'T,
UNFORTUNATELY THE RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF PUBLIC PRESSURE
STOP HER FROM COMING FORWARD THAT IS ONE THING.
I THINK IT IS UP TO THEM, NOT UP TO MARK CUBAN TO SPEAK FOR
ANOTHER PERSON.
WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY WANTED THEIR STORY
TO BE SHARED.
TO
BE FAIR TO MARK CUBAN, IF I KNEW A STORY, AND I KNEW FOR A FACT
THEY HAD TOLD ME EARLIER DONALD TRUMP HAD GRABBED ME BUT I
DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THIS
HEADACHE, AND THIS GUY IS NOW IN A POSITION WHERE HE COULD
BE THE MOST POWERFUL MAN ON EARTH, MIGHT I TELL THAT
STORY SO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW WHAT HE IS REALLY ABOUT?
I PROBABLY WOULD, TO BE FAIR.
THERE ARE A LOT OF STORIES RIGHT NOW.
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND.
OF COURSE PEOPLE DON'T CARE IF THEY ELECT
A RAPIST.
MARK CUBAN IS TELLING YOU WHAT HE KNOWS.
YOU MAKE OF THAT WHATEVER YOU WANT.
BUT REALLY MOST PEOPLE ARE EITHER ñ
IF THEY ARE DIEHARD TRUMP GUYS THEY DON'T CARE.
THE PERSON THAT TOLD THE STORY THAT IS A WRITER FOR PEOPLE
MAGAZINE, SHE HAS SIX WITNESSES TESTIFYING FOR HER.
BUT FOR THE REASONABLE PEOPLE, IF YOU ARE STILL LEFT UNDECIDED,
YOUR CALL AND HOW VALUABLE YOU THINK THAT EVIDENCE IS.
