Donald Trump's campaign has cited the immovability of arm rests between first class seats on the old Braniff Airways planes to refute an allegations of a 1979 sexual assault on a woman by the candidate.
But the armrests did move.
Jessica Leeds was among the first women in recent days to accuse Trump of touching them inappropriately. Trump has denied the allegations.
Leeds, now 74, has alleged that about 45 minutes after takeoff on a Braniff International Airways flight from Dallas to a New York area airport, Trump moved the armrest between their first class seats and groped her. She claims the incident occurred in 1979.
Campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson refuted Leeds's allegation Wednesday on "CNN Tonight with Don Lemon."
"First class seats have fixed armrests. So what I can tell you if she was groped on a plane, it wasn't by Donald Trump and it certainly wasn't in first class," Pierson said.

Well I think CNN should know that right eyes are upon it too and that it will have to answer for what it does.
When CNN knew it had a story that was about to turn on it!
Was the removable arm rest removed?
That’s one big armrest. Trump would have had to have stood up to remove it as it would be impossible to remove it from a seated position. Then comes the question of where he would stow it. That’s hardly being inconspicuous.
Nearly 20 years ago, this is what FR was about: articles from the lamestream media were posted and deconstructed, pointing out the flaws, omissions, and bias.
You folks have done a great job: all of you nearly instantly recognized the problem with this "fact check".
Others, not so much. At least two think I'm with "Correct The Record", which didn't even exist in 1998.
I was getting tired of the nutjob conspiracy theories and the click-bait blog articles. So, I decided to try an experiment and see if there were any traditional FReepers left.
There are, and thank God.
PS to Fred: I use AdBlock, so no one -- either CNN or blog pimps -- get revenue from me. :-)
Woah dude... my chihuahua DID just fart, and it DOES smell like Clinton defeat. I was just hitting my doobie and thinking exactly that and then I read your post...
Dude, this is SO cosmic. It's def a sign, know what I mean?
Well maybe she IS that little in the end.
Thanks jlagrayfox for this!

Bookmarking, that the seat arm doesn’t just flip up, also pics upthread of instruction manual & seat.
I should have included you in my previous "thank you" posting, but you posted while I was composing it.
You are another example of the past greatness of Free Republic: someone with real-world experience, and historical knowledge.
If one can sort through all the noise, you can learn a lot by reading the comments.
Oh yeah, suuuure you were...
You really did not need the doobie, but in this case at least it did no harm :-)
no fair destroying them with FACTS!
thanks!
The woman made is sound like it was an armrest in a car which is moved up or down easily. That center thing is NOT that. There is no way any guy would mess with/or remove that part of the seat to feel up the woman in seat next to him. Guys don’t like going to that much trouble, do they?
Accuser is a ninny.
Hmmm, looks like I hit a nerve...
Which one are you? The nutjob conspiracy theorist or the click-bait blog pimp?
Does this mean she was hiding it up her skirt while the Donald was groping her, and his excuse for putting his hand up her skirt was to get the Armrest??
No I did need it - medical marijuana. If I don't smoke weed, I can't smell anything. So I would have TOTALLY missed that dog fart.
See, once there was this job? And I fell? And I hurt my elbow? And like, EVERYTHING is connected, dude.
