Donald Trump under pressure

Spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, has told CNN that the women who have come forward with claims about the nominee simply want “15 minutes of fame”.

Pierson also disputed the account given to the New York Times by Jessica Leeds, who claimed Trump had moved an armrest between their seats and grabbed her without her consent during a flight to New York more than 30 years ago:

The first-class seats have fixed armrests so what I can tell you about her story, if she was groped on a plane, it wasn’t by Donald Trump and it certainly wasn’t in first class.

(I’m not able right now to fact-check the moveability of first-class armrests in the early 1980s, but I’m sure someone will.)

Gary Johnson, the Libertarian presidential candidate, has also issued a statement about the latest allegations against Trump. (I don’t think he’s saying women aren’t Americans. It’s just odd phrasing.)

Donald Trump cannot win this election. It’s time for Republicans, and all Americans, to face that reality. And it’s time to reject the notion that he is the only option other than Hillary Clinton.

Americans deserve better. Women deserve better.

Hillary Clinton’s press spokesman has responded to the latest allegation, from People magazine

The former New York mayor has now told the Associated Press:
I made a mistake. I’m wrong and I apologize.
