Fox News Anchor Publishes Trump Accuser’s Address and Phone Number


Lou Dobbs, anchor for Fox Business News, sent the phone number and address of Jessica Leeds, one of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s alleged groping victims, to his 792,000 Twitter followers this morning.

Dobbs linked to a conservative news site that claimed that there was a connection between Leeds and the Clinton Foundation. The article inaccurately claimed that Leeds’ phone number is the same phone number used by the Clinton Foundation, publicly disclosing both her phone number and place of residence.

Dobbs also quoted a Trump supporter’s tweet which shared Leeds’ phone number and address, but the tweet has since been deleted.

Leeds told the New York Times that she was groped by Trump when she sat next to him in a first class flight thirty years ago until she had to flee to the back of the plane.

“He was like an octopus,” she said. “His hands were everywhere… It was an assault.”

Some Trump supporters have been known to become violent against those who are critical of their candidate. In one case, an artist who went viral after drawing a picture of Trump with small genitals was tracked down and punched in the face by a supporter right outside her house.
