AKIPRESS.COM - Two women have come forward to claim that Donald Trump touched them inappropriately in separate incidents over the past few decades, but Trump himself has lashed out at the paper and threatened to sue, says Arab Times.

Jessica Leeds, now 74, claims that she sat next to Trump on a flight in the early 1980s when he grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt.

“He was like an octopus,” she said. “His hands were everywhere.”

Rachel Crooks claims than in 2005, when she was 22 and working as a receptionist for a real estate investment company that was located in Trump tower, she ran into Trump outside an elevator and introduced herself. Trump began kissing her, recalling the encounter as “inappropriate”.

Trump lashed out at one of the reporters who wrote the story, telling her that “none of this ever took place”.

The Trump campaign issued a statement about the report later on Wednesday, with his senior communications adviser Jason Miller calling the data a “fiction”.

“It is absurd to think that one of the most recognizable business leaders on the planet with a strong record of empowering women in his companies would do the things alleged in this story, and for this to only become public decades later in the final month of a campaign for president should say it all,” the statement reads.
