Donald Trump dismissed the latest woman to accuse him of sexual misconduct on Monday, saying of adult film star Jessica Drake, “Oh, I’m sure she’s never been grabbed before.”
Drake became the 11th woman to accuse the Republican presidential nominee of inappropriate sexual conduct, claiming over the weekend that he touched and kissed her and two of her friends without their consent after they had met him at a charity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nev. in 2006.
“He grabbed each of us tightly, in a hug and kissed each one of us without asking permission,” Drake told reporters at a press conference, flanked by feminist attorney Gloria Allred, who is representing another accuser, former “Apprentice” contestant Summer Zervos.
Drake, a longtime pornographic actress and director, said a representative for Trump also offered her $10,000 and the use of the GOP nominee’s private jet if she agreed to return to Trump’s hotel room alone after the incident occurred.
“These are stories that are made up, these are total fiction. You’ll find out that, in the years to come, these women that stood up, it was all fiction,” Trump charged during an interview with WGIR radio’s “New Hampshire Today.”
He continued to reject the allegations against him, “They were made up. I don’t know these women, it’s not my thing to do what they say. You know I don’t do that. I don’t grab them, as they say, on the arm.”
Turning his attention to Drake’s allegations, Trump said: “One said, ‘he grabbed me on the arm.’ And she’s a porn star. You know, this one that came out recently, ‘he grabbed me and he grabbed me on the arm.'”
“Oh, I’m sure she’s never been grabbed before,” he added. “It’s all lies, it’s all lies, it was made up. It’s like dripping water.”
During a speech on Saturday in Gettysburg, Pa., Trump vowed to take legal action against his accusers as soon as the Nov. 8 election is over. “Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign … all of these liars will be sued after the election is over,” he told the crowd.
