Second gentleman Doug Emhoff did not deny allegations that he “forcefully” struck an ex-girlfriend more than a decade ago following a booze-filled evening in France, instead calling the claim a “distraction.”
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough asked Emhoff to respond to several “tabloid stories about your personal life,” in apparent reference to accusations from Daily Mail sources that he slapped his former flame and hiring a “trophy secretary” at his high-powered Los Angeles law firm.
