U.S. President Donald Trump, pushing back against women accusing him of sexual misconduct, insisted on Tuesday that he’s the target of “false accusations and fabricated stories of women who I don’t know and/or have never met”. Mr. Trump lashed out on Twitter a day after three women who previously accused him of sexual harassment shared their stories on NBC’s “Megyn Kelly Today.”

 

On Monday, three women — Jessica Leeds, Samantha Holvey and Rachel Crooks — urged Congress to investigate Mr. Trump’s behaviour. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders pledged to provide a list of eyewitnesses whose accounts exonerated Mr. Trump.
