Why is Kamala’s ex so angry?
Former President Donald Trump has reiterated his account of a dramatic helicopter incident involving himself and former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, suggesting that their lives were at risk during a flight. Trump claims that during this harrowing experience, Brown divulged sensitive information about Vice President Kamala Harris. The story has sparked controversy, with Brown, a prominent California political figure and former romantic partner of Harris, threatening legal action against Trump for perpetuating what he insists is a false narrative.
Brown, known for his significant influence in California politics, has vowed to sue Trump if he continues to spread the alleged misinformation. “If he persists in this falsehood, I will respond accordingly,” Brown told CBS, expressing his frustration. He added that he would take legal action against Trump if Trump follows through with his threat to sue the New York Times for their reporting on the matter.
In response, Trump took to Truth Social, defending his version of events. He questioned Brown’s sudden memory lapse, asserting that Brown indeed recollects the incident, and reiterated his claim that the near-disastrous helicopter flight occurred with Brown, not with other political figures as some speculated. “Willie Brown is clearly trying to distance himself from the truth,” Trump wrote.
The former president first recounted the incident during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate, asserting that Brown shared critical and damaging details about Harris during what Trump described as an emergency landing. Harris and Brown’s past relationship in the 1990s adds another layer to the unfolding drama.
Speculation has arisen regarding the specifics of the incident Trump described, with some suggesting it might have involved different flights with former California Governor Jerry Brown or former state Senator Nate Holden, both of which did not reportedly experience emergency situations. However, Trump has consistently maintained that the episode in question involved Willie Brown and took place in New Jersey, not California.
Trump has yet to provide further details about any potential lawsuit against the New York Times, despite his earlier threats. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions and divergent narratives surrounding Trump’s claims and Brown’s denials.
