JakeThomas
According to Business Insider, as of May 2020, twenty-five women had accused the president of sexual assault since the 1970s. A number of these women came forward in the aftermath of the 2016 release of the Access Hollywood tape, which recorded Trump boasting about grabbing women’s genitals in 2005. Trump has dismissed all the allegations of groping, harassment, and rape, calling all the women liars.
In 2019, former campaign staffer Alva Johnson brought a lawsuit against President Trump, saying he "violated norms of decency and privacy by kissing Ms. Johnson on the lips without her consent in the middle of a Florida work event and in front of numerous other Campaign officials." According to USA Today, Trump also denied this allegation.
Karen Johnson, who Insider reported was "a regular at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida," is only the latest woman to accuse the president of sexual assault, saying he "pulled her behind a tapestry and kissed and groped her without her consent during a New Year's Eve party there in the early 2000s."
"I'm a tall girl and I had six-inch heels on, and I still remember looking up at him. And he's strong, and he just kissed me," Johnson said. "I was so scared because of who he was ... I don't even know where it came from. I didn't have a say in the matter."
Johnson said Trump forcibly grabbed her genitals.
The White House denied Johnson's allegation.
