Donald Trump rejected an allegation by journalist E. Jean Carroll that he sexually assaulted her in the 1990s. He said he never met her and accused her of making up the allegations to sell books
Carroll, a high-profile advice columnist, said she met Trump at Bergdorf Goodman in the mid-1990s when the then-real estate mogul was still married to Marla Maples. She alleged that after Trump asked her for advice in selecting a gift and they got talking, he sexually assaulted her in the dressing rooms of the store's lingerie section.
More than a dozen women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct before Carroll's account was published Friday as a preview to her upcoming book release. Trump has denied every allegation of assault. Speaking on MSNBC on Friday night, Carroll said she would not press charges against Trump, saying to do so would be "disrespectful" to women who face sexual violence at the southern border.Trump on Saturday morning doubled down on his denials in a gaggle with reporters, calling the accusations "totally false."
In his Friday statement, Trump insinuated the allegations were part of a political ploy by Democrats to discredit him. He also said that “people should pay dearly for such false accusations.”
