Trump On Sexual Misconduct Allegations: 'False Accusations And Fabricated Stories'
- 6 years ago
President Trump on Tuesday fired back at Democrats and his accusers over sexual misconduct allegations.
In the wake of a renewed focus on various sexual misconduct allegations against Donald Trump, the president lashed out at his accusers and Democrats on Tuesday.
"Despite thousands of hours wasted and many millions of dollars spent, the Democrats have been unable to show any collusion with Russia - so now they are moving on to the false accusations and fabricated stories of women who I don't know and/or have never met. FAKE NEWS!" Trump wrote on Twitter.
Some of the women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct appeared for an interview and a press conference on Monday.
The New York Times reported that these women are "betting that recently aggressive attitudes against harassment will give their stories new life and demanding that Congress investigate the president's actions."
However, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders pushed back on the idea of an investigation into the matter.
"The president has addressed these accusations directly and denied all of these allegations," Sanders said during Monday's briefing. "This took place long before he was elected to be President. And the people of this country, at a decisive election, supported President Trump, and we feel like these allegations have been answered through that process."
