Listen to Prez vics — Haley

- Terence Cullen

UN AMBASSADOR Nikki Haley said Sunday that women who’ve accused her boss, President Trump, of sexual misconduct “should be heard.”

“I think we heard from them prior to the election,” Haley told CBS News’ “Face the Nation.” “And I think any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way, they have every right to speak up.”

Her statement is a departure from the White House stance that the women who have accused the President of groping or touching them without consent are lying. “I know that he was elected, but women should always feel comfortabl­e coming forward,” Haley said when asked about the claims against Trump. “And we should all be willing to listen to them.”

A 2005 audio recording of Trump during an “Access Hollywood” appearance captured him crudely discussing grabbing women by their genitals.

At least 20 women have accused the President of sexual misconduct or harassment.

Former “The Apprentice” contestant Summer Zervos sued the President earlier this year, alleging he tarnished her reputation by saying she lied about her harassment allegation­s.

Zervos claims that in 2007, Trump “kissed her on the mouth repeatedly” without her permission and groped her at a Beverly Hills hotel.
