The Washington Post reports that a former campaign staffer for President Donald Trump is accusing him of inappropriately kissing her without consent in a new lawsuit.
Former Trump campaign staffer Alva Johnson tells the Post that Trump grabbed her hand, pulled her toward him, and kissed her on the lips as she walked out of an RV during a campaign rally in Florida in August 2016.
“I immediately felt violated because I wasn’t expecting it or wanting it,” Johnson tells the Post. “I can still see his lips coming straight for my face.”
The former campaign staffer also describes his actions as "super-creepy and inappropriate."
Johnson's boyfriend, her mother, and her stepfather all confirmed to the Post that she told them about the alleged incident shortly after it occurred in 2016.
The White House is denying Johnson's claim while calling her story "absurd on its face."
The infamous "Access Hollywood" video released in October 2016 showed Trump bragging about kissing women without their consent, while also bragging about grabbing women by their genitals.
"When you're a star, they let you do it," Trump said. "You can do anything."
