Two Women Say Donald Trump Touched Them Inappropriately
New York Times ^ | October 12, 2016 | MEGAN TWOHEY and MICHAEL BARBARO

Donald J. Trump was emphatic in the second presidential debate: Yes, he had boasted about kissing women without permission and grabbing their genitals. But he had never actually done those things, he said.

“No,” he declared under questioning on Sunday evening, “I have not.”

At that moment, sitting at home in Manhattan, Jessica Leeds, 74, felt he was lying to her face. “I wanted to punch the screen,” she said in an interview in her apartment.

More than three decades ago, when she was a traveling businesswoman at a paper company, Ms. Leeds said, she sat beside Mr. Trump in the first-class cabin of a flight to New York. They had never met before.

About 45 minutes after takeoff, she recalled, Mr. Trump lifted the armrest and began to touch her.

According to Ms. Leeds, Mr. Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt.

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

She fled to the back of the plane. “It was an assault,” she said.

Ms. Leeds has told the story to at least four people close to her, who also spoke with The New York Times.

Mr. Trump’s claim that his crude words had never turned into actions was similarly infuriating to a woman watching on Sunday night in Ohio: Rachel Crooks.

Ms. Crooks was a 22-year-old receptionist at Bayrock Group, a real estate investment and development company in Trump Tower in Manhattan, when she encountered Mr. Trump outside an elevator in the building one morning in 2005.

Aware that her company did business with Mr. Trump, she turned and introduced herself. They shook hands, but Mr. Trump would not let go, she said. Instead, he began kissing her cheeks. Then, she said, he “kissed me directly on the mouth.”

I turned on CNN tonight to see what they were talking about, and then I heard there was breaking news. The New York Times has two women. I was waiting for the media to do this after that tape came out and after Anderson asked him that at the debate.

For the record, the Trump campaign has come out and issued a severe denial.

They’re lucky. If it were BJ (Bill Jefferson), he’d have his pants off when he rubbed on them.

Maybe their porn videos aren’t selling so they’re trying to gin up some media exposure.

Gloria Allred was on SoCal radio this morning saying she was getting calls from women who have stories. Whether true or not, she will make a spectacle out of this.

This is going to be a circus.

Here we go again.

Unfortunately with 3 weeks until the election, they are only getting started. It’s going to be a long October.

Gloria Allred. She never misses a chance to insert herself into a big story. I am surprised it took her so long to be honest.

It did sound like A Cooper was setting Donald Trump up much like when Mark Furhman was asked if he ever said the N-word on the stand in the OJ trial.

But, being that Hillary Clinton already said that the ‘’’’alleged’’’ First Rapist in Chief was going to be sitting as co-Prtesident, does it matter that he shoved his penis in women without their permission?

So a 22 year old receptionist took it upon herself to introduce herself to a very wealthy business man just because they worked in the same building which has his name on it? Uh huh.

Your news cycle for the rest of the week.

20-30 year old stuff that can never be authenticated. She told friends. So Trump, guilty as charged. Bill, unfounded allegations.

Was Pravda ever really this bad?

Why it’s almost like Cooper new the answer to his question beforehand. Just like his boss, Hillary.

No witnesses, no proof and it was way back in the past.

The story doesn’t even sound characteristic of Mr Trump. They are making this stuff up for $$$$$$$$$. They could have gotten rich long ago, but chose to keep the tales under wraps just in case DJT ran for president? BULL.
