LAS VEGAS, United States (AFP) — Donald Trump on Wednesday denied allegations that he has groped several women, saying at his last presidential debate with Hillary Clinton that the charges were drummed up by her campaign.

“I believe,” Trump said, “she got these people to step forward,” accusing Clinton of running a “very sleazy campaign” and adding of the claims aired by several women dating back decades: “It was all fiction.”
