Two more women accuse Trump of groping
Two more women have accused US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump of groping as the business mogul is already faced with mounting criticism over sexual assault allegations.
Summer Zervos, a former contestant on Trump’s reality show "The Apprentice," said Friday that he sexually abused her when she met him in 2007 at a Beverly Hills hotel to discuss a possible job.
Trump "asked me to sit next to him. I complied. He then grabbed my shoulder and began kissing me again very aggressively,” Zervos said at a news conference in Los Angeles.
"He put me in an embrace and I tried to push him away. I pushed his chest to put space between us and I said 'come on man, get real,” she added.
Also, a former aspiring model, Kristin Anderson, told The Washington Post Friday that she was groped by Trump in a nightclub in the early 1990s.
“He was so distinctive looking — with the hair and the eyebrows," Anderson told The Post. "I mean, nobody else has those eyebrows.”
Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks denied Anderson’s allegation, calling it a “total fabrication.”
“Why is this just coming out now? She (Anderson) described the allegation as being 'inconsequential at the time,' but why then wasn’t it consequential when Mr. Trump announced for President, or when he won the primary, or when he headlined the convention – why is it just now, three weeks before election day, consequential? The answer is that this is clearly a political attack designed to tear down Mr. Trump," Hicks said.
The new allegations came after some other women claimed on Wednesday that they had been sexually abused by the billionaire.
One woman told The New York Times she was seated next to Trump during a flight to New York some three decades ago, and he started groping her suddenly.
Another woman told the Times that he kissed her without her permission. “I was so upset that he thought I was so insignificant that he could do that,” she said.
Trump rejected women’s claims as “preposterous,” saying the media is an entrenched establishment force “in bed” with his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and determined to get her elected the president of the United States.
Last Friday, a 2005 tape was released in which Trump is heard making vulgar comments about women and having a conversation about trying to have sex with a married woman.
