Donald Trump Sexual-Assault Accusers Appear in New Ads
Two women who have accused Donald Trump of sexual assault have described his alleged attacks on them in ads released by an anti-Trump campaign.
The ads, which were released on September 24 and produced by George Conway’s Anti-Psychopath PAC, include testimony from Natasha Stoynoff and Jessica Leeds, who have accused Trump of forcing himself on them and inappropriately touching them.
CNN’s Erin Burnett has said that Trump has denied the allegations.
The Trump campaign responded to Newsweek for comment on these ads, with Karoline Leavitt, Trump Campaign National Press Secretary, saying: “George Conway has no idea what he’s talking about and suffers from a serious case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his brain.”
The Anti-Psychopath PAC has been contacted for comment via email.
One ad shows former People magazine writer, Natasha Stoynoff, discussing her trip to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2005, which she has written about previously.
She was visiting the Trump residence to write a story on him and Melania when, according to Stoynoff, he took her into another room, forced her against the wall, and started kissing her without consent.
Stoynoff said he only stopped because a butler walked in, but he then told her that the two of them were “going to have an affair.”
Stoynoff goes on to say in the ad that Trump is a “predator of women” and an “adjudicated sexual assaulter.”
Trump spoke about Stoynoff at a press conference regarding E. Jean Carroll earlier in September. Newsweek reported on September 6 that Trump initially praised Stoynoff’s article about him and Melania, which he called “the most beautiful story you’ve ever seen…a love story.”
However, moments later at the same event, Trump called her “whoever”, and fumbled with his cards looking for her name. An aide then told him her name, which he mispronounced and reverted to calling her “whatever her name was.”
The other ad, also released by Conway’s PAC, shows former saleswoman and stock broker Jessica Leeds talking about her experience of being allegedly groped by Trump on a plane in 1979.
Leeds speaks in the ad about how she was invited up to first class to sit next to Trump, where he allegedly proceeded to grope her and put his hand up her skirt. She then got up and went back to her original seat, feeling shaken
Months later at a fundraiser Leeds recounts how he allegedly recognized her from the plane, and called her a horrible word.
Leavitt told Newsweek: “This is another sad, desperate attempt by Kamala’s cronies to gaslight the American people because they know they can’t stop President Trump from retaking the White House.
Leavitt added: “The reality is that the negative portrayal of President Trump and his treatment of women by the media and Democrats like Conway is entirely false. President Trump is loved by millions of women across the country, and those who know him personally, myself included, will tell you he’s supportive, generous, and kind.”
Leavitt also told Newsweek: “President Trump’s first-term economic policies uplifted women by putting more money in our pockets, and he also made expanding access to childcare and paid family leave top priorities in his administration, and he will do so again.”
