Donald Trump facing new sex claims from two women

A woman who was a contestant on the US version of The Apprentice has accused Donald Trump of inappropriate sexual conduct.

The allegation comes on the same day another woman claimed the Republican White House candidate groped her in a Manhattan nightspot.
Mr Trump has again insisted all the allegations against him are fabricated.
"I don't know who these people are. I look on television, I think it's a disgusting thing and it's being pushed, they have no witnesses, there's nobody around," he said at a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina.
"Some are doing it for probably a little fame, they get some free fame. It's a total set-up."
The lawyer acting for the Apprentice contestant said Mr Trump kissed Summer Zervos on the lips when she arrived at his office in New York in 2007.

She also claimed his hands were all over her.

Ms Zervos, 41, has said Mr Trump made inappropriate sexual advances towards her at a hotel in Los Angeles a few weeks later.

On that occasion she said he started kissing her "open-mouthed" and pulled her towards him.

"He then grabbed my shoulder and began kissing again very aggressively, and placed his hand on my breast," she said.

"He put me into an embrace and I tried to pull him away. I pushed his chest to put some space between us and said 'Come on, man, get real'."

Mr Trump has denied Ms Zervos' account of their meetings and has hit out at the media over its coverage of the accusations levelled against him.

He said in a statement: "I vaguely remember Ms Zervos as one of the many contestants on The Apprentice over the years.

"To be clear, I never met her at a hotel or greeted her inappropriately a decade ago. That is not who I am as a person, and it is not how I've conducted my life.

"Beyond that, the media is now creating a theatre of absurdity that threatens to tear our democratic process apart and poison the minds of the American public.

"With reporters throwing due diligence and fact-finding to the side in a rush to file their stories first, it's evident that we truly are living in a broken system."

The other accuser, Kristin Anderson, told the Washington Post Mr Trump put his hand up her skirt and touched her underwear.

She said it happened when she was sitting on a couch talking to friends at the China Club in New York in the early 1990s.

Ms Anderson said she shoved the hand away, got up from the couch and took a good look at the man responsible.

She recognised him immediately as Donald Trump. "He was so distinctive looking - with the hair and the eyebrows. I mean, nobody else has those eyebrows," she is quoted as saying.

At the time Ms Anderson said she was in her twenties and trying to forge a career as a model.

She said Mr Trump was a big celebrity whose face was all over the tabloids and a regular visitor to New York's clubs.

Now aged 46, Ms Anderson works as a photographer and lives in southern California.

The allegations are the latest in a series made by women who have accused Mr Trump of sexual assault and making unwanted physical advances.

Last week a video was released which showed him bragging about being able to grope women because of his fame.

Following the release of the 2005 recording, Mr Trump initially said he was sorry "if anyone was offended" by what he called the "locker room banter".

Footage has also emerged from 1992 in which Mr Trump tells a young girl he would be dating her in 10 years.

On Thursday First Lady Michelle Obama slammed Mr Trump's treatment of women, saying that his "obscene" comments had shaken her "to my core". 

His Democrat rival for the presidency, Hillary Clinton, has accused Mr Trump of "stalking" her during the second televised debate.

In her first interview since Sunday's showdown, she told NBC's The Ellen DeGeneres Show - which is due to air later - his movements on stage made her feel "really weird".

"It was clear that my opponent Donald Trump was going to try to dominate the space, almost to the exclusion of the people who were sitting there," she said.

But Mr Trump dismissed Mrs Clinton's claims he was trying to get into her space.

"She walks in front of me, you know?" he said druing the Greensboro rally. "And when she walked in front of me, believe me, I wasn't impressed."

The sex allegations are continuing to damage Mr Trump's election chances. According to a new Reuters/Ipsos national opinion poll, he trails Mrs Clinton by seven percentage points.
