While two more women accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct on Friday, the Republican presidential candidate referred to the women who have made such allegations against him in recent days as "sick liars." According to Reuters, Summer Zervos, a former contestant on the reality TV show "The Apprentice," and Kristin Anderson accused Trump on Friday of inappropriately "groping" them. Zervos claimed that Trump invited her to a hotel and attempted to touch her against her will. Anderson stated that in late 1998, while sitting in a club with friends, Trump reached under her skirt and touched her body. Meanwhile, some American media have reported that since the controversial video of Trump's "lewd" remarks about women was released, eight women have come forward with allegations against him. Last Friday, The Washington Post released a video of Trump's remarks from 2005 in which he made vulgar comments about women and sexual contact with them. On the same evening, Trump, speaking at a campaign rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, denied the allegations, claiming that some of these women are making accusations for fame, political goals, money, or in collusion with media supported by Hillary Clinton. The Republican candidate emphasized that he is currently the target of ugly attacks filled with lies and slander from all sides. He stated, "I do not know these women." He added, "These statements are 100% false." Trump mentioned that he does not know the accusers, but those making the allegations have neither witnesses nor anyone present at the events they describe. Referring to Anderson's statements, he said, "I never go anywhere alone; I always have many people with me." Meanwhile, Mike Pence, who is running as Trump's vice-presidential candidate, promised on Friday that documents regarding the allegations from these women would soon be released that would question their claims. Additionally, Fox News published the latest polls following the release of the controversial tape, which indicated that Trump's popularity, especially among women, has decreased, and he is trailing Hillary Clinton by seven percent nationwide. Fox News reported that the most significant decline occurred among women over 45 years old.
