Trump faces fresh sleazy scrutiny


Another woman, Jessica Drake, is publicly accusing Donald Trump of inappropriate sexual contact, alleging the GOP nominee touched and kissed her a decade ago during a charity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.


Drake is at least the 11th woman to accuse Trump of unwanted sexual advances since the surfacing of a 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape in which Trump brags about being able to grope and kiss women.

Drake, an adult film performer and director, claimed that Trump asked her for her phone number and invited her to his suite the night they met in 2006. She went and brought along two other women to accompany her because she said she did not feel comfortable attending alone.

“He grabbed each of us tightly, in a hug and kissed each one of us without asking permission,” Drake, who is being represented by Gloria Allred, the women’s rights attorney who has represented other women, including two other Trump accusers, in high-profile sexual assault cases.

Breaking News: Paul Manafort Quits Donald Trump’s Campaign After Tumultuous Run

POLITICS Paul Manafort with reporters in a Republican Convention last month Paul Manafort, installed to run  Donald J. Trump ’s operation after the firing of his original campaign manager, handed in his resignation on Friday, signifying the latest tumult to engulf the candidate, whose standing in the polls has steadily dropped since the  Republican Party ’s convention in July.
