Speaking at a campaign event on Friday in Charlotte, North Carolina, Trump said the women may be motivated by financial or political reasons or “the simple reason they want to stop our movement”. “I’m now suing you guys because I feel uncomfortable”. “They never happened.” At one point he mockingly reenacted the story of Kristin Anderson, a woman who told the Washington Post earlier on Friday that Trump had reached his hand up her skirt and touched her vagina while they were sitting next to each other at a NY club in the early 1990s. A former contestant on “The Apprentice“, Zervos says she contacted Trump to ask for a job.

Mr. Obama continued the line of attack he used Thursday night against Republican leadership, accusing them of allowing many of Mr. Trump’s comments to go unchecked until his comments about sexual assault became public, when more Republicans rescinded their endorsements of Mr. Trump.
-More than 20 former crew members, editors and contestants on Trump’s “Apprentice” reality show described a pattern of crass behavior and demeaning comments on the set.
Ms Zervos, 41, told an emotional news conference in Los Angeles that she met him in 2007 in a bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where the businessman greeted her by kissing her on the mouth.
Kristin Anderson told the Post she was sitting on a couch with friends at a NY nightclub in the early 1990s when someone’s hand reached up her skirt and touched her through her underwear.
-Jessica Leeds, 74, told The New York Times that Trump groped her on an airplane more than three decades ago. Trump takes it upon himself to say or do whatever he sees fit regardless of what his team of advisors urge against.
This brings total raised to date (inclusive of his contributions) to $ 360 million, the media statement said. “These people are sick”. Trump says all of the accusations are fabricated.
“The election is being rigged by corrupt media, pushing completely false allegations and outright lies, in an effort to elect her President”, Trump told his cheering supporters at an election rally in New Hampshire yesterday. “The election is rigged”.
“The whole thing is one big fix”.
Trump also appeared to make a similar crack about Clinton’s looks.
“Folks, there’s never been a situation like this in the history of our country”, Trump said at a campaign rally here. “We are drowning in it”.
But Trump is continuing to warn, without evidence, about vote fraud.
Clinton has no rallies planned Friday, but President Barack Obama campaigned for her in Ohio. Early in-person voting is underway in 20 states, including OH, where President Barack Obama railed against Trump a day after first lady Michelle Obama declared in a passionate speech, “Enough is enough”. “Democracy itself is on the ballot right now”, Obama said. Trump, whose longstanding battles with the party’s establishment have escalated in recent days over charges of his alleged sexual misconduct, has relied heavily on small donors to boost his campaign.
“He basically wanted to just get rid of her. he called her a ‘piglet, ‘” an editor for the show told the site. This is much more than that and is about keeping someone like Donald Trump out of the White House.
In a video released last week Trump bragged about kissing and groping women without their permission.
It’s the latest crack in GOP unity in the critical battleground state, where Republican Gov. John Kasich is also not behind the party’s presidential nominee.
The RNC said Friday that it raised $39.4 million last month, compared to $48.4 million in September 2012. He has given more than $50 million himself.
Trump also suggested the women who have come forward to accuse him were not physically attractive enough to merit his attention.

The New York billionaire denied the allegations and blamed them on Mrs Clinton’s campaign and a complicit news media. More generally, he’s referred to his accusers as “horrible, disgusting liars”.
