I just went and read the full Ivana statement - it's even worse as fodder about the story than I thought from

the headline.
unless it's thought there was some new payoff or something, there was no need for her to say all this, even if payoff back then happened.
“The story is totally without merit. Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised three children that we love and are very proud of. I have nothing but fondness for Donald and wish him the best of luck on his campaign. Incidentally, I think he would make an incredible president.”
also, I bit the bullet and went to read about her retraction, back in the day.
this statement was included in the original book that had the account of the incident between them:
“On one occasion during 1989, Mr. Trump and I had marital relations in which he behaved very differently toward me than he had during our marriage. As a woman, I felt violated, as the love and tenderness, which he normally exhibited towards me, was absent. I referred to this as a ‘rape,’ but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.”
now I feel like I need to go bathe to wash off something that could be interpreted as defending him. it's not meant to be that, more clarifying why it's not a good pursuable story. *shudder*
