CARPENTER: What’s out there is tabloid trash. If someone wants to comment on it, they can talk to my lawyer. It’s categorically false. You should be ashamed for spreading this kind of smut. Donald Trump supporters should be held to account for it.
COHEN: I’m not spreading smut.
CARPENTER: I will not be intimidated. I will continue to make my thoughts known about Donald Trump. I’m not backing down.
Until that interview, most news outlets were avoiding the story, even here on FR the mods were deleting the threads.
