WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - The Donald Trump Campaign termed a new groping allegation by a woman as another coordinated, publicity seeking attack with the support of his presidential rival Hillary Clinton.
Karena Virginia, a New York-area yoga instructor, told reporters Thursday that the Republican presidential nominee had made an unwanted sexual advance at her at the 1998 US Open tennis tournament.
Virginia spoke at the news conference in the presence of high-profile discrimination lawyer Gloria Allred.
45 year-old Virginia, reading from a written statement, said Trump grabbed her by the arm and groped her.
In a statement Thursday, the Trump Campaign said 'Discredited political operative Gloria Allred, in another coordinated, publicity seeking attack with the Clinton campaign, will stop at nothing to smear Mr. Trump.'
'Give me a break. Voters are tired of these circus-like antics and reject these fictional stories and the clear efforts to benefit Hillary Clinton,' said a statement by Jessica Ditto, Deputy Communications Director for Trump.
