Donald Trump has expressed disbelief at the way the media has treated Doug Emhoff following allegations that he slapped his ex-girlfriend, had an affair with his children’s nanny and misbehaved in the workplace.
DailyMail.com revealed last week that three of the woman’s friends said he hit her so hard that she spun while waiting in a valet line at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband has denied the accusation, but only to the political website Semafor.
DailyMail.com has previously revealed that the ‘second gentleman’ cheated on his first wife Kerstin with Najen Naylor, now 47, who also taught at his children’s school. She became pregnant but did not keep the child.
Emhoff has confirmed the matter.
On Tuesday, DailyMail.com also revealed that Emhoff was “inappropriate” and “misogynistic” at his Los Angeles law firm Venable, he cried. insults, hosted a men-only cocktail hour at the office, revoked job benefits from women who didn’t flirt with him, and only took his young, attractive associates in a limousine to a dance.

In fact, the interview with former White House press secretary Jen Psaki aired before the latest allegations came to light, but after Emhoff admitted that his first marriage ended after he had an affair with the babysitter and got her pregnant.
That didn’t stop Psaki from fawning over her guest.
“Something that’s also been a big part, an interesting part of how people have talked about your role here, is how your role has reshaped the perception of masculinity,” he said.
Donald Trump said he couldn’t believe how the media was treating Doug Emhoff
Supporters say Doug Emhoff, Kamala Harris’ husband, has reshaped ideas of masculinity, but recent accusations have undermined that idea.
Trump made his comments during an interview with right-wing firebrand Ben Shapiro.
“And I’m not sure you planned it, but you are an incredibly understanding spouse.”
DailyMail.com has since revealed the slapping allegations.
And today it emerged that lawyers who worked with him at his former Venables law firm said he shouted profanities and revoked benefits from women who didn’t flirt with him.
Emhoff never responded to DailyMail.com about either set of allegations, but in a statement to the political website Semafor, a spokesperson said: “This report is false,” adding that “any suggestion that he would or ever hit a woman is false.” ‘
