Two
women told The New York Times in a report published Wednesday that Republican
presidential nominee Donald Trump touched them inappropriately.
The
Times reported that Jessica Leeds and Rachel Crooks each had encounters with
Trump in which he groped or kissed them without their consent. One of the
alleged incidents occurred in 2005, the other more than 30 years ago
The
women chose to tell their stories after Trump told CNN's Anderson Cooper during
the second presidential debate "no, I have not," when asked
repeatedly did he ever "kiss women without consent or grope women without
consent."
CNN
has not yet independently confirmed The New York Times account.
The
Trump campaign issued a statement denying all the allegations, saying the
reports were politically motivated.
"It
is absurd to think that one of the most recognizable business leaders on the
planet with a strong record of empowering women in his companies would do the
things alleged in this story, and for this to only become public decades later
in the final month of a campaign for president should say it all," said
Jason Miller, a Trump spokesman.
Trump
told The New York Times reporter: "None of this ever took place."
