Confident Swift on stand asserts Mueller “grabbed my ass”

CNN says Taylor Swift was confident and assertive on the stand in Denver Thursday in her testimony against David Mueller, the man she says groped her at a meet-and-greet in June 2013. “What Mr. Mueller did was very intentional,” Swift said as she answered questions from Gabriel McFarland, Mueller’s attorney. “I am critical of your client for sticking his hand under my skirt and grabbing my ass,” Swift said. She rejected Mueller’s claim that their interaction was basic “jostling” for a photo, and said she had no reaction to learning that Mueller had been fired over the incident. “I’m not going to allow you or your client to make me feel in any way that this is my fault because it isn’t,” she said. “I am being blamed for the unfortunate events of his life that are a product of his decisions and not mine,” Swift added later.
