Megyn Kelly Interviewed 3 Women Accusing Donald Trump of Sexual Misconduct

Megyn Kelly interviewed three women who have accused President Donald Trump of sexual misconduct on her show this morning: Jessica Leeds, Samantha Holvey, and Rachel Crooks.

This marks the first time these women were in the same place talking of their experiences. Jessica says she was allegedly groped by Trump on a plane in the ‘70s; Rachel said he kissed her without her consent when she was a receptionist at Trump Tower in 2005; and Samantha, a 2006 Miss USA contestant, has spoken out about Trump’s alleged inappropriate inspecting of pageant contestants.

“The first interaction with Trump is that he lined all of us up and he goes down – and I thought this was going to be a meet and greet, like ‘hi, how are you? It’s nice to meet you,’ and it was not,” Samantha said. “It was, ‘hi,’ just looking me over like I was just a piece of meat, I was not a human being, I didn’t have a brain, I didn’t have a personality, I was just simply there for his pleasure. It left me feeling very gross, very dirty, this is not what I signed up for.”

Rachel explained she’d see Trump daily and that “one day, I decided to introduce myself because I did see him regularly. And he shook my hand and he kind of gave me the normal double cheek kiss but then he held onto my hand and he kept kissing me. He kept asking me maybe a question, where you from? Kissing me again, and again. It was right outside the elevators, right outside my office.” She continued: “I don’t know how many times back and forth, multiple, and then he kissed me on the lips and I was shocked. Devastated.”

Jessica detailed a similar groping experience and also told Megyn that Trump called her a “c*nt woman” after allegedly groping her. “It was shocking,” she said. “It was like a bucket of cold water being thrown over me.”

The White House has since issued a statement on the interview:

These false claims, totally disputed in most cases by eyewitness accounts, were addressed at length during last year’s campaign, and the American people voiced their judgment by delivering a decisive victory. The timing and absurdity of these false claims speaks volumes, and the publicity tour that has begun only further confirms the political motives behind them.
