Lawyer Gloria Allred held a press conference Thursday with yet another woman who claims she was subjected to inappropriate comments and touching by Donald Trump.
Yoga teacher Karena Virginia recounted attending the 1998 U.S. Open when Trump, a stranger to her, approached her. "Hey, look at this one, we haven't seen her before," Virginia recalled Trump saying. "Look at those legs." Virginia alleges Trump then grabbed her breast and asked her, "Don't you know who I am?"
Virginia confessed to long-lasting trauma from the confrontation. "For years I struggled with what to wear so as not to attract unwanted attention," she said. She addressed Trump directly through tears: "Perhaps you do not remember me … but I can assure you I remember you."
