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."
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.
