Donald Trump: Another woman is accusing the Republican nominee of sexual assault Former 'Apprentice' contestant Summer Zervos says Donald Trump sexually harassed her
(about 2 hours later)
Kristin Anderson, a 46-year-old woman, is claiming that Mr Trump slid his hand under her miniskirt and touched her vagina while they were in a crowded Manhattan nightclub in the 1990s. Summer Zervos, a former contestant on The Apprentice, appeared at a press conference on Friday claiming that Donald Trump groped her during an employment meeting in 2007.
Ms Anderson says she shoved his hand away before fleeing the couch, saying that she immediately recognised the man as Mr Trump. Ms Zervos claims that she contacted Mr Trump regarding an employment opportunity and was denied a meeting over lunch. She was then asked to meet him at his hotel in Beverly Hills.
“He was so distinctive looking — with the hair and the eyebrows," she told The Washington Post. "I mean, nobody else has those eyebrows.” She says that when she arrived, he kissed her on the lips and he said he’d love to work with her. He asked her to lie down on the bed and that he began “thrusting his genitals." She says that she made it clear that she was turning down his advances and he eventually began discussing business with her.
The Trump campaign has vehemently denied the allegation. “As I was about to leave, he again kissed me on the lips,” Ms Zervos explained. “This made me feel nervous and embarrassed this is not what I wanted or expected.”
“Mr Trump strongly denies this phony allegation by someone looking to get some free publicity," campaign spokesperson Hope Hicks said. "It is totally ridiculous,”  The conference comes just hours after The Washington Post published an interview with Kristin Anderson on Friday. The 46-year-old woman, claims that in the 1990s, Mr Trump slid his hand under her miniskirt and touched her vagina while they were in a crowded Manhattan nightclub.
Paul Ryan, the Republican speaker of the house, is expected to address the ongoing turmoil within his party on Friday. He previously said he cannot defend Mr Trump through the allegations and promised to elaborate on his position at the presser. Ms Anderson says she shoved his hand away before fleeing the couch, saying that she immediately recognised the man as Mr Trump. “He was so distinctive looking — with the hair and the eyebrows," she told The Post. "I mean, nobody else has those eyebrows.”
The Trump campaign has vehemently denied Ms Anderson’s allegation. “Mr Trump strongly denies this phony allegation by someone looking to get some free publicity," campaign spokesperson Hope Hicks said. "It is totally ridiculous.”
“You do not have the right to treat women as sexual objects just because you are a star,” Ms Zervos said beside her attorney Gloria Allred, the high-profile feminist lawyer.
“Instead of a job, Ms Zervos claims she got the Donald all over her, kissing her, touching her breasts, leading her into his bedroom,” Ms Allred told reporters. “Donald, before you can become President of the United States, you must first learn to treat women with respect. The White House is not a locker room."
