Trump says accusations of sexual misconduct ‘fabricated’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump, pushing back against women accusing him of sexual misconduct, insisted he’s the target of “false accusations and fabricated stories of women who I don’t know and/or have never met.”
Trump lashes out on Twitter a day after three women who previously accused him of sexual harassment shared their stories on NBC’s “Megyn Kelly Today.”
Trump says Democrats “have been unable to show any collusion with Russia” and now are “moving on” to these allegations. He adds: “FAKE NEWS!”
The women — Jessica Leeds, Samantha Holvey and Rachel Crooks — yesterday urged Congress to investigate Trump’s behavior.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders pledged to provide a list of eyewitnesses whose accounts exonerated the president. She did not provide the list by late yesterday.
