Dozens of new sexual misconduct allegations against Trump reportedly included in forthcoming book

A forthcoming book from journalists Barry Levine and Monique El-Feizy titled All the President's Women reportedly reveals 43 accusations of alleged inappropriate behavior, including 26 instances of unwanted sexual contact, made against President Trump. That's in addition to the dozens of public allegations he already faces, Esquire reports.

In an excerpt of the book published by Esquire, a woman named Karen Johnson spoke publicly about an interaction with Trump for the first time, telling Levine and El-Feizy that Trump groped her unexpectedly during a Mar-a-Lago New Year's Eve party in the early 2000s. Johnson said she was at Trump's estate with her husband, who was suffering from multiple sclerosis, and another relative. Her husband wasn't feeling well, so Johnson said she was getting ready to leave. She said made a trip to the restroom first, however, and that's when she alleges someone grabbed her and pulled her behind a tapestry.
