The New York Times published an article on Wednesday accusing Donald Trump of sexual assault.
Trump addressed the allegations during a rally in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Thursday, calling them “totally and absolutely false.”
“These vicious claims about me of inappropriate conduct with women are totally and absolutely false,” he said.
“These claims are all fabricated,” Trump went on. “They’re pure fiction and they’re outright lies.”
The Republican presidential candidate later said that the allegations are an attack “orchestrated by the Clintons and their media allies.”
“The only thing Hillary Clinton has going for her is the press,” he fired.
Trump added that there are "no witnesses, no nothing" to substantiate the claims.
He told rally attendees that he plans to sue The New York Times over its report.
The Times piece features two women who claim Trump touched them inappropriately.
The first, 74-year-old Jessica Leeds, alleges Trump groped her on a flight to New York 35 years ago.
The other woman, Rachel Crooks, says when she was a 22-year-old secretary in 2005, she encountered Trump outside an elevator in Trump Tower, where he “began kissing her cheeks” and “kissed [her] directly on the mouth.”
The sexual assault allegations come just days after the “hot mic” scandal.
