Donald Trump swatted away the latest accusation of sexual imsconduct against him on Tuesday, claiming that a Washington Post story about a woman who accuses him of unwanted kissing is ‘Fake News.’
Rachel Crooks, 35, is running for a seat in the Ohio legislature – mostly, she says, so she can have a platform to tell the story of a day when Trump mashed his face against hers without an invitation.
Trump himself pushed back on Tuesday, enlarging the story by tweeting about it.
‘A woman I don’t know and, to the best of my knowledge, never met, is on the FRONT PAGE of the Fake News Washington Post saying I kissed her (for two minutes yet) in the lobby of Trump Tower 12 years ago. Never happened!’ he wrote.
‘Who would do this in a public space with live security cameras running. Another False Accusation.’
Crooks recalled the alleged kiss in a group conversation witnessed by a Post reporter.
‘It happened right by the elevators,’ she said, talking about an encounter at Trump Tower at age 22, where she was working as a receptionist at Bayrock Group, a company Trump sometimes did business with.
‘He started kissing me on one cheek, then the other cheek. He was talking to me in between kisses, asking where I was from, or if I wanted to be a model. He wouldn’t let go of my hand, and then he went right in and started kissing me on the lips.’
