'He held onto my hand, and he kept kissing me': 3 women accusing Trump of sexual harassment speak out in harrowing interview

Jessica Leeds, Rachel Crooks, and Samantha Holvey recounted their accusations of sexual misconduct against President Donald Trump in an interview on NBC News.

  • Jessica Leeds, Rachel Crooks, and Samantha Holvey recounted their allegations of sexual misconduct against President Donald Trump in an interview on NBC News' "Megyn Kelly Today" on Monday.
  • "All of a sudden he was all over me, kissing and groping," Leeds said.
  • Crooks said Trump held her hand and kissed her on the mouth when she was working as a receptionist at Trump Tower in Manhattan in 2005.
  • On Sunday, Nikki Haley, the UN ambassador who is one of the highest-ranking women in the Trump administration, said the president's accusers "should be heard."
  • The White House denied the accusations on Monday, saying in part, "The timing and absurdity of these false claims speaks volumes, and the publicity tour that has begun only further confirms the political motives behind them."

The White House lashed out Monday at the women who have accused President Donald Trump of sexual harassment after three of them recounted their accusations during a television interview.

Jessica Leeds, Rachel Crooks, and Samantha Holvey, who initially went public with their accusations last year, detailed them on NBC News' "Megyn Kelly Today" on Monday.

"We are private citizens, and for us to put ourselves out there to try and show America who this man is and especially how he views women, and for them to say, 'Nah, we don't care' — it hurt," Holvey said. "Now it's just like, all right, let's try round two. The environment's different. Let's try again."
