Donald J. Trump was emphatic in the second presidential debate: Yes, he had boasted about kissing women without permission and grabbing their genitals. But he had never actually done those things, he said.
“No,” he declared under questioning on Sunday evening, “I have not.”
At that moment, sitting at home in Manhattan, Jessica Leeds, 74, felt he was lying to her face. “I wanted to punch the screen,” she said in an interview in her apartment.
More than three decades ago, when she was a traveling businesswoman at a paper company, Ms. Leeds said, she sat beside Mr. Trump in the first-class cabin of a flight to New York. They had never met before.
About 45 minutes after takeoff, she recalled, Mr. Trump lifted the armrest and began to touch her.
According to Ms. Leeds, Mr. Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt.
“He was like an octopus,” she said. “His hands were everywhere.”
She fled to the back of the plane. “It was an assault,” she said.
Ms. Leeds has told the story to at least four people close to her, who also spoke with The New York Times.
Mr. Trump’s claim that his crude words had never turned into actions was similarly infuriating to a woman watching on Sunday night in Ohio: Rachel Crooks.
Ms. Crooks was a 22-year-old receptionist at Bayrock Group, a real estate investment and development company in Trump Tower in Manhattan, when she encountered Mr. Trump outside an elevator in the building one morning in 2005.
Aware that her company did business with Mr. Trump, she turned and introduced herself. They shook hands, but Mr. Trump would not let go, she said. Instead, he began kissing her cheeks. Then, she said, he “kissed me directly on the mouth.”

The MSM is really, really desperate.
The best they can do is air is a 1992 video?
Pathetic - and this is with their going with a fine-toothed comb over every inch of Trump’s life.
They’re straining to find gnats.
Even his wife wont defend him...so dont call me names for calling out his douchebag moves.
People can go after Bill but he’s not running
Also, Hannity has interviewed the woman who was raped at 12 —whose attacker was defended by Hillary. Hillary—caught on tape laughing that since her client beat the rape charge with a lie detector test, she will never believe in the accur5acy of lie detector tests...
This was apparently sometime in the early 80s per the article.
Hillary still beats Trump in this category.
You bet.
This just came up on my FB feed, may be connected

30 years ago in other words and the criminal statute of limitations ran out long time ago.
Who cares? This is old, old stuff.
First class seats in aircraft of that era did not have a movable armrest - there was a short vertical barrier containing a tray table. He would have had to get out of his seat to do what is claimed. Any other witnesses?
I’m trying to think why this is important?
People know Trump’s character.
And when all is said and done, it won’t change a single vote.
That is just who he is...none of it comes as a surprise to me. This is the guy who made a weird comment about his own daughter.
You just have to accept him as he is.....knowing his past...instead off doing what marplestein is doing and pretending he doesnt act like that.
There isn’t one shred of evidence that Ted Cruz did anything sexually inappropriate whatsoever. You have nothing but made-up BS National Enquirer allegations.
Of course, if Cruz had been the nominee, it wouldn’t have stopped the MSM from cooking up some of these unsubstantiated accusers of course.
Big difference between saying he’ll date her vs. saying something else. To the girl that would mean holding hands and going to the drive-in. Is it now sexually improper to obey the age of consent laws?
Glad we have a resident “expert” on the subject...Gee thanks so much for adding some gasoline to the anti-Trump fires...Sheesh!!!
With all due respect?, you really need to stop with the name-calling...Now!
This is a pro-Trump website as per owner, and your post is being read by many lurkers...
You are acting like Paul Ryan or worse.
And that’s exactly what he should do. Launch a counter suit for slander and let it go to court.
Yup!
First class? How is an “assault” even possible in view of stewardesses and other passengers???
Why are you on FR? You couldn’t possibly support this man - who is being supported by the owner of the site and who expects members to support him as well. There are many places where you could find a home - you know, nostalgic Jeb Bush sites that would give you a place to remember the good old days of 75 dollar guacamole bowls or videos of Ted Cruz ignoring Fiorini falling into an orchestra pit. Why are you here instead of there?
One more reason not to vote for Hillary Clinton. At one point in time, perhaps the mid to late 1980s, Hillary apparently was "playing" with young women at a timeshare resort on the Lake of the Ozarks. Some of them may have been underage.
