Another woman has come forward to accuse Donald Trump of inappropriate conduct. Porn
star Jessica Drake claims the Republican presidential candidate offered
her $10,000 and access to his private jet to come to his penthouse
hotel room following a golf event in 2006.
According to Mirror Drake, 42, spoke at a press conference on Saturday alongside her lawyer Gloria Allred.
She
said that she met Trump ten years ago at a golf tournament in Lake
Tahoe, California - a year after he married his wife Melania.
She claimed he invited her to his suite after the tournament, and she went with some female friends.
When they arrived, she said, he grabbed each of them tightly and
kissed them. After they left him, one of his representatives called to
invite her to his room alone, but she said she declined.
She claims Trump himself called and asked, "What do you want? How much?"
After she declined his invite, he eventually offered her $10,000, she said.
The presidential candidate's campaign slammed her allegations as "totally false and ridiculous".
"The
picture is one of thousands taken out of respect for people asking to
have their picture taken with Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump does not know this
person, does not remember this person and would have no interest in ever
knowing her," they said in a statement.
"This is just another attempt by the Clinton campaign to
defame a candidate who just today is number one in three different
polls. Anyone who would pay thugs to incite violence at a rally against
American citizens, as was released on video, will stop at nothing. Just
another example of the Clinton campaign trying to rig the election."
Drake is the 11th woman to accuse Trump of inappropriate conduct. Gloria Allred also represents two others.
At
a rally in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, earlier on Saturday, Trump
threatened to sue his accusers, saying "all of these liars will be sued"
and alleging that they came forward "to hurt my campaign."
Allred said that Trump's threat was "a new low," and said
that if he were to sue, they will "welcome the opportunity to depose
you."
Drake said that she came forward aware that "I may be called a liar or opportunist" because of her background.
She
said she wanted to also support other women who have gone public,
sharing: "I may be but a tiny grain of sand. But clearly this is an
enormous beach."
Drake also showed a picture of she and Trump taken at the golf event.
