| Woman describes alleged assault by Trump | |
| She continues. | |
| “In 1998 I was at the US Open tennis tournament in Flushing, Queens... I was waiting for a car to arrive... as I was waiting, Donald Trump approached me. I knew who he was but I’d never met him. He was with a few other men.” | |
| “He said, ‘hey, look at this one. We haven’t seen her before. Look at those legs,’ as though I was an object rather than a person.” | |
| “He then walked up to me... grabbed my right arm. Then his hand touched the right inside of my breast. I was in shock. I flinched. ‘Don’t you know who I am?’ That’s what he said to me. I felt intimidated and I felt powerless. Then my car pulled up and I got in. After I closed the door my shock turned to shame. I felt ashamed that I was wearing a short dress and high heels... it stayed with me for awhile... I struggled with what to wear so as to not to attract unwanted attention.” | |

| Virginia continues. “No one has asked me to come forward.” She says people advised her not to speak publicly out of concern that Trump will attack her. She expects to be called a liar. “Or perhaps he will label me as just another nasty woman.” | |
| “I have lost sleep over this. I have been fearful about bringing unwanted attention to my loving family and me. This includes my husband, my daughter, my son..” | |
| She’s tearing up. Says she feels it’s her duty to speak out. | |

| Allred says Trump can’t say he respects women, but his alleged victims “deserve tremendous respect.” | |
| Allred introduces Corrina Virginia – that may not be the correct spelling. | |
| Virginia reads a statement. “I am here today to add my voice... to stand up to Mr Trump for myself, my family, particularly my daughter, and for all the women who deserve to be respected and not subjected to sexual abuse and groped by powerful men... | |
| “I am also here to support the other women who had the courage to come forward.” | |
| 4.23pm BST | |
| 16:23 | |
| Allred says that last night Trump dismissed his accusers, responding “Nobody has more respect for women than I do.” | |
| “His response is ludicrous,” Allred says. | |
| She’s seated next to a woman she identifies briefly as Corrina who will speak. | |
| “Today we are here with yet another woman who accuses Donald Trump of disrespecting her... she has shown tremendous courage in coming forward today.” | |
| “Today’s victim is also noteworthy in that her allegations indicate how Mr Trump selects his victims at random... Mr Trump allegedly felt that whether on an airplane or seeing a woman waiting for a car that he had the right to do whatever he wants to do because he is a celebrity.” | |

| Trump accuser to hold news conference | |
| Last night the advocate Gloria Allred announced that a woman previously unheard from “who accuses Donald Trump of victimizing her with inappropriate sexual conduct” would hold a press conference today.

| Outcry over Trump's 'suspense' tease | |
| Last night Republican senators Lindsey Graham, Jeff Flake and Jeff Sessions all decried or dismissed Trump’s refusal to say he will accept the election result. That chorus continues to grow. Here’s independent candidate Evan McMullin, a former congressional staffer who is leading in some polls of Utah: | |
| Shame on @DonaldTrump for refusing to commit to the peaceful transition of power. America is a democracy, not a banana republic. #Debates | |
| A Pew research survey from 14 October found that 78% of Trump supporters think that when the election is concluded, it is either very important (51%) or somewhat important (27%) for the losing candidate to acknowledge the winner as “the legitimate president of the country.” | |
| Tim Kaine – well you know where Tim Kaine stands on this: | |
| .@timkaine calls Donald Trump's refusal to commit to accepting election results "shocking." https://t.co/O96LJ808YC https://t.co/bmgV6O0zfT | |
| Even pundits on Fox News say Trump's refusal to commit to accepting election results was "a totally wrong answer" https://t.co/4AUSnoVolf pic.twitter.com/LoTe88sQQX | |
| I don't think I've seen so many (if any) political operatives/commentators literally come to the brink tears as I have in past 12 hours. | |
