Accusers should ‘show the evidence,’ first lady says

WASHINGTON — First lady Melania Trump says women who make accusations of sexual abuse “need to be heard” and supported, but so do men.

She says when there are accusations there needs to be “really hard evidence” and accusers should “show the evidence.”

The first lady was interviewed on her Kenya trip by ABC, which aired portions Wednesday on “Good Morning America.”

Asked whether she supports the #MeToo movement, the first lady said, “I support the women, and they need to be heard. We need to support them.” She added: “And, you know, also men, not just women.”

President Donald Trump, accused of sexual assault by numerous women over the years, has said it’s “a scary time” for men facing allegations from years ago.

In Greece:

Two women and a girl who were believed to be migrants were found dead with their throats slashed Wednesday near Greece’s northeast border with Turkey, authorities said. The victims appeared to be of North African, Middle Eastern or Asian origin, but their identities were unknown, police said.

In Egypt:

Authorities detained the youngest son of jailed former President Mohammed Morsi, 67, on Wednesday without giving a reason, the family said. Abdullah Morsi, 23, said last week that he was seeking better health care for his ailing father, who has been held in solitary confinement since the army ousted him in 2013.
