Trump Donor Told Police Corey Lewandowski Claimed to Have Stabbed Two Men to Death
A Trump donor who accused Corey Lewandowski of sexual misconduct during a Las Vegas charity dinner reportedly also told police that she feared for her safety after Lewandowski told her he had stabbed two men to death.
According to the statement Trashelle Odom gave the police (a copy of which was obtained and published in its entirety by the Daily Mail), Lewandowski made inappropriate comments about his genitals and asked what her room number was.
Odom said that the pair began discussing California, as Lewandowski was traveling there and she was from a “bad area” near where he was traveling.
“That is when Lewandowski told me that he ‘was from a bad part of Boston and have killed people,'” the statement reads. “I initially believed that he was joking and attempted to laugh it off. That is when Lewandowski went into detail and stated something to the effect of, ‘when I was 10, I stabbed someone over and over again, killing him.’ He continued and shared that when he was older he, ‘stabbed a man in the back of the head, also killing him.'”
Odom said that those statements, coupled with his aggressive behavior earlier, made her “intimidated and frightened and fearful” for her safety and that of her family, the statement said.
She said she was uncomfortable as Lewandowski tried to make physical advances throughout the evening.
“It was apparent that my reactions to Lewandowski’s stories, threats, and aggressive sexual advances were not normal for Lewandowski as Lewandowski ultimately threw his drink at me, hitting my dress, shoe and foot,” Odom’s report states. “When I confronted Lewandowski and asked if he threw his drink at me, I believe he called me stupid.”
“I followed up and asked, ‘Did you call me stupid?'” she said. “He responded with, ‘Why, you don’t like that?'”
Lewandowski was fired from the pro-Trump Make America Great Again Action PAC in the wake of Odom’s sexual harassment claims. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) also severed ties with him.
In regards to the allegations of sexual misconduct, Lewandowski’s attorney, David Chesnoff, said in a statement to NBC News that the “accusations and rumors appear to be morphing by the minute and we will not dignify them with a further response.”
