Ex-anchor says Trump tried to kiss her

NEW YORK—A former Fox News news anchor claims President Donald Trump tried to kiss her on the lips in an elevator at Trump Tower over a decade ago.

Juliet Huddy, who left a local Fox News station after accusing Bill O’Reilly of sexual misconduct, told New York radio host Bill Schulz that Trump tried to kiss her after taking her out to lunch in 2005 or 2006 at his skyscraper. The incident reportedly occurred around the time Trump married his third wife, Melania.

“He said goodbye to me in an elevator while his security guy was there,” Huddy recalled. “Rather than kiss me on the cheek, he leaned in to kiss me on the lips. I wasn’t offended. I was kind of like, ‘Oh my God.’”

Huddy said she didn’t feel “threatened” by Trump but called the interaction a “weird moment.”

The White House did not respond to a request for comment from The New York Daily News.

Trump has been accused of sexually harassing or assaulting nearly two dozen women. He has denied all the allegations.
