President Trump calls past sexual assault allegations against him 'fake news'

Coverage Type: 

President Donald Trump again denied allegations of sexual assault made against him before he took office, calling the claims "fake news" and "made-up stuff." “All I can say is it’s totally fake news — just fake. It’s fake, it’s made-up stuff. And it’s disgraceful what happens,” President Trump told reporters during an impromptu White House Rose Garden press conference. “That happens in the world of politics,” he added.

The president's remarks come after reports surfaced Oct 15 that lawyers for Summer Zervos, who accused Trump of groping her in 2007, issued a subpoena to his campaign for any records about “any woman alleging that Donald J. Trump touched her inappropriately.”
