A lawyer for one of the two women who made complaints of sexual harassment against Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has claimed he is not telling the truth about the allegations.
The attorney, Joel P. Bennett, told CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 that his client was "very upset" and was considering talking publicly about the case if she was released from a confidentiality clause.
The National Restaurant Association made financial severance agreements with two women while Cain was the organization's CEO from 1996 to 1999. The New York Times reported late Tuesday that one woman was given $35,000, a year's salary, citing three people with direct knowledge of the payment.
Asked if his client believed Cain was not telling the truth, Bennett told CNN: "Yes."
