More than 50 female Democratic lawmakers on Monday asked leaders in the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to open an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against President Donald Trump.
In a letter to Chairman Trey Gowdy of South Carolina and Ranking Member Elijah Cummings of Maryland, 54 lawmakers from the Democratic Womens Working Group (DWWG) said the presidents own comments appear to back up the allegations.
At least 17 women have publicly accused the President of sexual misconduct, the letter reads. Natasha Stoynoff recounted how the President pushed her against a wall and forced his tongue down her throat. Jill Harth described how the President attempted to get up her dress. Kristin Anderson detailed how the President touched her genitals through her underwear.
The American people deserve a full inquiry into the truth of these allegations, the lawmakers said in the letter, which lists the names of women whove made accusations against President Trump and summarizes a few of their stories.
The president has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct against him.
