Trump's sex victims hold press conference; Senators call on Trump to resign
WASHINGTON — Three women who've accused President Trump of sexually harassing or assaulting them before he came to the White House demanded a congressional investigation Monday, following a week in which lawmakers from both parties were forced into resignation amid harassment allegations.
"People are being held accountable, except for our president," said Jessica Leeds, who said Trump tried to force himself on her, including reaching under her skirt, during a plane ride more than 30 years ago. Yet "his staff made a big point of calling us all liars," she said. More than a dozen women accused Trump of sexual misconduct during his presidential campaign last year.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand calls on Trump to resign
(CNN)Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York told CNN on Monday that President Donald Trump should resign over allegations of sexual misconduct.
"President Trump should resign," Gillibrand told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in an exclusive interview. "These allegations are credible; they are numerous. I've heard these women's testimony, and many of them are heartbreaking."

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) called Monday for an investigation into the sexual harassment allegations against President Trump.
Wyden tweeted out an article about the news conference earlier Monday where some of the women who accused Trump of sexual harassment or assault recounted their experiences and called for a Congressional investigation into the accusations.
Wyden joins a growing chorus of lawmakers urging Trump to step down over the allegations. Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) have all called for Trump to resign following the resignation of Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) over groping allegations.

Gee, did Jessica Leeds ever narrow down when that plane trip happen and why nobody recognized Trump and a plane full of passengers have no memory of this public "assault"?
