What happened
Attorney Elizabeth Beck told the New York Times and CNN in July 2015 that when she asked for a break in a 2011 deposition to pump breast milk, Trump stood up, went red in the face and called her disgusting before leaving the room. His lawyer, Alan Garten, did not dispute that Trump used the word but said it referred to her pumping in the room. On CNN on July 29, 2015, Trump said: 'She wanted to breast pump in front of me and I may have said that's disgusting, I may have said something else.' He also called her a 'vicious, horrible person.' Beck said she had always planned to pump in private.
