Trump allegations:A number of women have stepped forward to accuse Republican presidential aspirant of sex assaults,
On Wednesday, The New York Times reported on two women who alleged that Donald Trump had assaulted them. Jessica Leeds recalled her encounter with the billionaire in the 1970s, as did Rachel Crooks, who met Trump in 2005. A number of allegations of sexual assault against Donald Trump have surfaced since. On Friday, two came to light: from Kristin Anderson, who accused Trump of sliding his fingers under her skirt at a New York City nightclub in the early 1990s; and from former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos, who gave a press conference with attorney Gloria Allred.
For his part, the Republican nominee has denied the accusations, taking to Twitter to vent his
frustrations. Trump lawyer Marc Kasowitz sent a letter to the Times demanding that the newspaper retract the story.
It’s been a turbulent few days for the Republican nominee. Just last week, The Washington Post
obtained a 2005 video clip in which Trump is heard making lewd comments about women. The recording sparked backlash from Republicans , though some have since conceded that they’ll still vote for Trump in November.
