Donald Trump vows to sue sexual misconduct accusers

Trump went on to suggest on Saturday that his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's campaign was behind the women's allegations.

Washington, Oct 23 US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump vowed on Saturday to sue the women who have accused him of sexual misconduct in recent weeks.

"Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign," Trump said during remarks in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. "Total fabrication. The events never happened. Never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over," CNN quoted Trump as saying.

He added that a "simple phone call" to major news outlets "gets them wall-to-wall coverage with virtually no fact-checking ever".

In the last two weeks, at least 10 women have come forward accusing Trump of inappropriately touching them. Their allegations came after a 2005 videotape surfaced of Trump bragging about being able to grope women and get away with it.

Trump went on to suggest on Saturday that his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's campaign was behind the women's allegations.

"It was probably the (Democratic National Committee) and Hillary's campaign who put forward these liars with their fabricated stories," he said. "But we'll probably find out later through litigation, which we're so looking forward to."

Earlier in October, he threatened to sue The New York Times when it published assault allegations against him, but nearly two weeks later, he has declined to follow through.
