Right-wing activist Mike Cernovich, the Times notes, offered $10,000 in November for the details of sexual harassment settlements reached by members of Congress. Cernovich helped surface the details of one alleged settlement with Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), who was forced to resign from Congress. The Hill first reported last month that Bloom offered to sell the stories of Trump's alleged victims in return for a commission for herself, and offered some victims as much as $750,000 in compensation. “Donors reached out to my firm directly to help some of the women I represented,” Bloom told The Hill. She said any compensation she received went directly to her firm's operational costs. “Our standard pro bono agreement for legal services provides that if a media entity offers to compensate a client for sharing his or her story we receive a percentage of those fees. This rarely happens. But, on occasion, a case generates media interest and sometimes (not always) a client may receive an appearance fee,” she added.NYT: Clinton supporters donated $700K to help Trump accusershttps://t.co/gZelYzPMlB— Mike Cernovich 🇺🇸 (@Cernovich) January 2, 2018
