WATCH: Sarah Huckabee Sanders Says Trump Harassment Accusers are Lying


Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed that all the women who've made sexual harassment allegations against Donald Trump are lying during Friday's press briefing.

During last week's news conference in the Rose Garden, Donald Trump denied a sexual misconduct allegation made by Summer Zervos, a former contestant on The Apprentice, and the subpoena he received from her attorneys during his campaign.

“All I can say is it's totally fake news. It's just fake. It's fake," he told the press. "It's made-up stuff, and it's disgraceful, what happens, but that happens in the — that happens in the world of politics."

In response to Trump's statement, a reporter asked the White House Press Secretary about the women who've made allegations against the president:

Sarah, obviously, sexual harassment has been in the news, at least 16 women have accused the president of sexually harassing them throughout the course of the campaign. Last week during a press conference in the Rose Garden the president called these accusations fake news. Is the official White House position that all of these women are lying?

Eager to move on to the next topic, Sanders responded in a single breath, “Yeah, we’ve been clear on that from the beginning and the president has spoken on it."

The subpoena dates back to March, but due to the Harvey Weinstein sexual misconduct fiasco and the victims coming forward using Twitter's #metoo campaign, the harassment allegations towards the president have taken on a renewed interest in the media.

Zervos accused Donald Trump of forcibly kissing her and touching her breast when she met him in his Beverly Hills Hotel room in 2007, but she didn't provide details of the assault until a year ago, just prior to Trump clinching the presidential seat.

Trump issued a statement last year dismissing her allegations:

To be clear, I never met her at a hotel or greeted her inappropriately a decade ago. That is not who I am as a person, and it is not how I've conducted my life. In fact, Ms. Zervos continued to contact me for help, emailing my office on April 14 of this year asking that I visit her restaurant in California.

But the Internet remembers.

Some wondered about Sanders' lack of a conscience from behind the podium.

The subpoena filed last month seeks all documents related to nine other women who have been sexually assaulted by Trump. His attorneys are trying to dismiss Zerovs' case for what they believe is a "politically motivated" intent.

Trump Dragged After Declaring That He's 'Bringing Columbus Day Back' Despite It Never Going Away

In another empty gesture to appeal to his Christian nationalist and White supremacist base, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump vowed to bring back Columbus Day.

But just like when Trump "brought back" Christmas, Columbus Day is a holiday that never went away. There's a difference between not everyone celebrating a holiday and a holiday being eliminated that Trump and his followers seem to not understand.

Fox News Host Ripped After Claiming Trump's Presidency Is 'Normal' For Bonkers Reason

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade had people raising eyebrows after he claimed President Donald Trump's presidency is a "normal" one because of the various championship-winning sports teams who have visited the White House as of late.

One day before the Philadelphia Eagles were scheduled to visit the White House—and shortly after Trump hosted the World Series champion Dodgers—Kilmeade argued that because the Dodgers had been welcomed there and Trump recently interacted with basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal, everything was "normal," in his words.
