Donald Trump lashed out against what he called “phony” accusations of inappropriate sexual contact leveled by several women, two more of whom came forward on Friday, and said the election is being “rigged by the media.”
Trump kicked off his defense at a rally Friday afternoon in Greensboro, North Carolina, saying he is being attacked with lies and slander. He later put out a statement saying he would bypass the national media to address the country “in a more personal way” about his plans, and pursued that strategy in a series of tweets early Saturday.
