Well, Bill O'Reilly of the Fox news network is in the headlines again and for the same reason, sexual harassment. In a report this week it was reported that Fox news or O'Reilly settled several sexual harassment lawsuits against O'Reilly out of court. The article also stated that because of the suit Fox's show the O'Reilly Factor lost 10 advertising sponsors. The settlement was reported to be in the millions of dollars.
President Trump came to O'Reilly's defense and said he was a good person and believed that O'Reilly was innocent and that he, Trump would not have settled out of court. Trump also said he would not settle out of court the fraud law suit brought against him and Trump University and did just the opposite and settled the fraud law suit out of court for $25 million. Trump and O'Reilly are good buddies who try and spin their lies and are right there with the conservative ditto heads. A sexual harassment suit has been filed against President Trump who is claiming immunity because he is President. We shall see what happens.
Trump and O'Reilly have a history of being accused of sexual harassment. They feel they can do any thing they want to do and not be held accountable for their actions. Trump bragged about that in the tape that was made public during the campaign. Trump also said those that seek immunity have something to hide. That is possibly what motivated Trump and O'Reilly to settle out of court.
The bottom line is why would a President Donald Trump even want to comment on O'Reilly's problem? I guess he feels he owes something to Fox news and O'Reilly for those glowing reports during the campaign.
