Trump’s demand to face the person accusing him struck many observers as ironic, given that at least one person accusing Trump of crimes is quite eager to face him in court.

…Zervos sued Trump in 2017 for calling her a liar when she came forward with her allegation, and ever since, she’s been fighting to take him to court.

…Trump’s claim that he deserves to meet the whistleblower who raised the alarm about his communications with Ukraine reads as an attempt to intimidate that person, especially given Trump’s previous comments on this issue. At a private event last week, Trump described the whistleblower, whose identity is not publicly known, as “almost a spy,” and said, “we used to handle [spies and treason] a little differently than we do now.” Similarly, Trump has tried to intimidate the women who came forward with misconduct allegations, saying in 2016 that “all of these liars will be sued after the election is over.”

Trump demanded to meet his “accuser.” There are at least 22 of them. – Vox
