WASHINGTON _ Donald Trump denied stories of women who said the Republican presidential candidate made unwanted sexual advances on Twitter on Thursday.
A number of women have come forward since the New York Times posted a story on Wednesday about two women who said Trump had forced himself on them.
Jessica Leeds said that on an airliner in 1978, Trump grabbed her chest and tried putting his hand up her skirt. Another woman, Rachel Crooks, said that in 2005, when the two were on an elevator, Trump would not let go of her hand when they shook hands and instead kissed her first on the cheeks and then on the mouth.
Trump tweeted that the story was a "TOTAL FABRICATION" and said it would be proven false.
People magazine reporter Natasha Stoynoff wrote that she was doing a story on the tycoon and his wife Melania on their first anniversary when Trump pinned her against a wall in his Mar-a-Lago mansion and forcibly kissed her.
Trump asked why Stoynoff didn't tell her story at the time.
A former Miss USA contestant, Temple Taggart, told NBC News that Trump kissed her on the mouth upon meeting her in 1997.
The Palm Beach Post reported Mindy McGillivray's account of Trump groping her at Mar-a-Lago.
In addition, five contestants for the Miss Teen USA Pageant told Buzzfeed that Trump walked into the dressing room while the girls were changing clothes.
Trump's attorneys sent a letter to the Times demanding a retraction and an apology and his campaign has issued statements denying the other stories.
