The New York Times on Wednesday published a report in which two women said Trump touched them inappropriately without their consent — despite Trump’s insistence during last Sunday’s second presidential debate that he had never engaged in the behavior he bragged about engaging in.
According to the Times, Jessica Leeds and Rachel Crooks decided to tell their stories specifically because Trump denied ever kissing or groping women without their consent when asked repeatedly by CNN’s Anderson Cooper during the debate.
In the Times piece, which includes a video interview, Jessica Leeds, who was 38 at the time and is now 74, said she was on a flight with Trump, sitting next to him in first class.
