A barrage of accusations that Donald Trump groped or inappropriately kissed women rocked the race for the White House, with the Republican nominee angrily denying the reports and his campaign branding them “character assassination.”
Claims by at least five women in accounts reported by The New York Times, NBC, People Magazine and other outlets came to light after Trump said in Sunday’s presidential debate with his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton that he had never sexually assaulted women.
His denial came as he tried to set his campaign back on track after a video recording from 2005 surfaced Friday in which the 70-year-old real estate mogul is heard making lewd boasts about how his celebrity meant he could grope women with impunity.
Trump has apologized for the comments, dismissing them as “locker room” banter.
With just 27 days until the Nov. 8 election, and Clinton in the driver’s seat with national polls in her favor, Trump’s free-falling campaign is fueling Republican worries the controversy may seriously damage the party.
Former businesswoman Jessica Leeds, 74, told The New York Times that Trump groped her on a flight in the early 1980s as they sat next to each other in first class.
Among the accusations, Mindy McGillivray, now 36, alleged that Trump grabbed her at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida in early 2003, the Palm Beach Post reported on Wednesday.
