Lawyers for Donald Trump’s former faith advisor Robert Morris accused a 12-year-old girl of initiating “inappropriate” sexual conduct with the ex-Dallas megachurch  pastor, new documents have revealed.

Morris resigned in June after admitting to the incident. His accuser Cindy Clemishire previously claimed that the pastor had begun abusing her on Christmas Day in 1982.

Clemishire, now 52, said that Morris and his wife had been staying at her family home at the time when he asked her to come into his room, whereafter he told her to lay on his bed and then began touching her inappropriately.

She said the abuse had continued until 1987 when she told her parents.

However, 25 years after the incident, a lawyer for Morris – J Shelby Sharpe – claimed that it was the child who was actually to blame.

    He’ll just deny any connection to this guy and his cult members will believe it. Reality, truth, and evidence don’t mean anything to them.

      I’m just putting it out there in case the media wants to run the common story: “Internet is exploding with demands for some politician to step down.” And they quote maybe three tweets from randos.

      Here it is media; a demand for trump to step down and stop running. The Internet is exploding and voters are demanding it!!!
