Trump's sexual accuser says he should be afraid of truth
A woman, who has previously accused President Donald Trump of sexual harassment, says the president should be afraid of the truth.
On Monday, Rachel Crooks told The Washington Post that Trump had kissed her forcibly in Trump Tower in 2006, an accusation Trump rejected.
“I would think as our president he would have more important things to do than tweet at me and try to discredit my story. I know what’s true. He knows what’s true, and I think he should be afraid of that,” Crooks said on CNN on Tuesday.
“When the truth is on your side it doesn’t feel as bad. And I feel like I have a license to say what I feel about him given what he did to me,” she said.
Following her interview with the Post, Trump dismissed Crooks as “a woman" he does not know and has never met.
A woman I don’t know and, to the best of my knowledge, never met, is on the FRONT PAGE of the Fake News Washington Post saying I kissed her (for two minutes yet) in the lobby of Trump Tower 12 years ago. Never happened! Who would do this in a public space with live security......

This is not the first time Trump dismissed Crooks’s allegations, however, Crooks, a 35-year-old university administrator, is refusing to back down. She is attempting to win a seat in the state legislature of her native Ohio, hoping it will help get her message heard.
Crooks began her campaign in early February as a first-time candidate and a Democrat, after coming forward against Trump during the 2016 presidential election campaign.
Sexual harassment accusations have swirled around Trump long before he was elected president in November 2016.
Nearly 20 women have accused the Republican president of sexual misconduct dating back decades, ranging from unwanted touching to groping to assault. Trump has denied any wrongdoing. The White House has called his accusers liars.
Now, a growing number of Democrats think Congress should lend a voice to Trump's accusers if their political party regains control of the House next year.
