President Donald Trump on Tuesday again denied a woman's accusation that he forcibly kissed her when she worked at Trump Tower in 2006.
A front-page feature in Tuesday's Washington Post recounts Rachel Crooks' experiences since she first told her story in the months before the 2016 presidential election. She is one of 19 woman to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct they say occurred over a span of decades.
As told in the Post story, Crooks says she met Trump near the elevators on Trump Tower's 24th floor, outside the offices of the company where she worked at the time. She describes Trump first grabbing her hand, then kissing her on the cheek and then the lips. The incident lasted about two minutes, according to Crooks.
Several members of Congress have resigned or decided not to run for re-election in recent months because they face sexual misconduct accusations.

Trump admitted that he touched women without their consent to Access Hollywood host Billy Bush in a 2005 tape that surfaced before the 2016 election.
"You know, I'm automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything," Trump said to Access Hollywood host, Billy Bush.
"Grab 'em by the pu&&y. You can do anything," the president also said in the recording.
