"I've never met this person in my life. She is trying to sell a new book'' Trump Reacts To 1990 Rape Allegation

E. Jean Carroll in her article published by the New York magazine had alleged that the US President, Donald Trump had raped her in a department store dressing room in mid-1990's.

However, the US President has said he he had never met her but believes she was only trying to sell a book. He dismissed the allegation as mere fiction.

In the article, she says she recognised him as the "real estate tycoon" and that he told her he was buying a present for "a girl".   She says Trump knew she was a TV agony aunt and the two joked around, encouraging each other to try on some lingerie. She alleges that they then went to a dressing room, where she accuses him of raping her. Both Trump and Ms Carroll were aged around 50 at the time, and he was married to Marla Maples.  

Trump says;

"I've never met this person in my life. She is trying to sell a new book, that should indicate her motivation. It should be sold in the fiction section" the US president said in a statement. Trump also encouraged anyone with information that the Democratic Party is working with Ms Carroll or New York Magazine to notify the White House.

This is one of many sexual allegations by several women against President Trump which he had denied.
