Donald Trump faces multiple groping claims

Washington, Oct 13 (IBNS) : The dirt flying in the run-up to the US Presidential election grew thicker as five women came forward with claims that Republican candidate Donald Trump had groped, kissed and leered at them, media reports said.

The accusations came on Wednesday,  just days after Trump denied at Sunday’s presidential debate that he had ever groped anyone inappropriately.

According to the York Times,  one  of the women alleges that Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt during a flight more than three decades ago.

Another says he kissed her on the mouth outside an elevator in 2005, according to the same report.

A third woman says Trump groped her rear end at his Mar-a-Lago resort 13 years ago, the Palm Beach Post reported.

The fourth, then a People magazine reporter, says Trump kissed her without her assent when the two were alone in 2005 right before an interview she was about to conduct with Trump and his wife.

Trump denied the first two allegations in an interview with the Times.

In a statement issued by his campaign after the Times report was published, spokesman Jason Miller said, "This entire article is fiction."


The news came five days after The Washington Post reported Friday on a 2005 video in which Trump can be heard making vulgar comments on a hot microphone about physically forcing himself on women sexually.

At Sunday's debate, Trump was asked by a moderator whether he had ever behaved in such a way.

"No, I have not," he responded.
