Trump Steps Up Attacks Over 'Phony' Sex Harassment Claims; No Lawsuit Yet

Trump Steps Up Attacks Over 'Phony' Sex Harassment Claims; No Lawsuit Yet

Donald Trump took to Twitter Thursday to strongly rebut sexual harassment accusations made against him in The New York Times story and by a writer for People magazine.

The Times interviewed two women who said Trump groped and or kissed them many years ago.

Although he has threatened to sue the Times unless it retracts the story, Trump made no mention of legal action in his Thursday Twitter barrage, calling the news outlet "failing" — his anti-mainstream media mantra:

Trump also blasted as a lie an accusation made by a People magazine writer who claimed Trump forced himself on her at his Mar-a-Lago resort in 2005 when she was there writing a feature on Trump's first wedding anniversary with Melania.

 

 

Natasha Stoynoff said she told a colleague about the incident but feared Trump would "discredit and destroy" her if she sought to kill the story.
