Sex pest claims hit Trump rival

JOE Biden was yesterday battling to save his campaign to be the next US president before it had even started.

The former vice president and Democrat front-runner has been hit by claims that he sexually harassed women. He accused opponents of ‘a cottage industry of lies’ and of ‘smears and forgeries’.

Mr Biden, 76, said in a previous statement that he has a history of personal contact, but saw it as ‘expressions of affection, support and comfort’. However, the internet is full of pictures of ‘Creepy Uncle Joe’ standing uncomfortably close to women.

He is expected to launch his bid to oust Donald Trump later this month.
