President Trump is once again denying allegations of sexual misconduct after several of his accusers came forward for "round two" on Monday:
Trump has consistently denied allegations against him, although he admitted to making lewd comments on an Access Hollywood tape about forcing himself on women without their consent. In response to a question on the topic Monday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said: "In this case the president has denied any of these allegations, as have eyewitnesses and several reports have shown those eyewitnesses also back up the president's claim in this process. And again, the American people knew this and voted for the president and we feel like we're ready to move forward in that process."
Samantha Holvey, who claimed in October of last year that Trump inappropriately inspected women who participated in his beauty pageants, called it "heartbreaking" on Monday to have gone public with her story "and nobody cared."
