| Rachel Crooks has told her story before and this time she spoke to the Washington Post, drawing the ire of the President. | |
| At least 18 other women have also accused Mr Trump of sexual misconduct spanning decades of his career in real estate. | |
| Mr Trump seemed to imply that Ms Crooks' story of him allegedly forcing himself on her and kissing her on the 24th floor of Trump Tower in 2005 did not make sense. | |
| He tweeted that "live security...cameras running" would have likely prevented any kind of verifiable sexual harassment. | |
| "Another false accusation," Mr Trump said. He and the White House have called all the accusations "fiction" and another reason for the public not to trust the "fake media." | |
| Ms Crooks, a native of a small Ohio town who has since moved back to the area, told the newspaper that she has not sought financial reward or even legal action. | |
| "I just want people to listen. How many women have to come forward? What will it take to get a response?,” she said. | |
