'Business as usual': Sexual misconduct claims unlikely to hurt Trump
Three women who publicly accused the US President of sexual misconduct during last year’s race to the Oval Office have detailed their accounts of being leered at, groped and forcibly kissed by Donald Trump.
Former beauty pageant contestant Samantha Holvey accuses Donald Trump of lewd behaviour, receptionist Rachel Crooks says Mr Trump forcibly kissed her and Jessica Leeds accuses Mr Trump of attempting to put his hand up her skirt on a flight.
The three women spoke jointly about their alleged experiences at a news conference to promote the documentary 16 Women and Donald Trump by Brave New Films, a non-profit organisation that campaigns for social justice.
The 16 women claim to share similar stories of sexual misconduct by the President are calling for Congress to launch an investigation into Mr Trump.
The allegations come in light of the growing "Me Too" movement across America which has seen men from the very public worlds of entertainment, media and Government outed and often punished for sexual misconduct.
A Current Affair poses the question: does such accountability extend all the way to the Oval Office?
9NEWS political editor Chris Uhlmann, whose searing analysis of the US President earlier this year went viral, doubts this latest attack will lead to the impeachment of the leader of the free world.
"Those people that hate Trump will hate him more, those people that love Trump will think that this is business as usual, that this media is out to get him, that the Democrats are out to get him and it won't change their opinion," Uhlmann said.
Mr Trump has previously denied any allegations of sexual misconduct while a White House spokesperson slammed the claims in a statement.
"These false claims, totally disputed in most cases by eyewitness accounts," the statement said.
