A group of Democratic lawmakers in the House has called for that chamber's Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to open an investigation into the allegations from more than a dozen women, all of which Trump denies.

“I think there’s a course of action here. The committee should allow the investigation to go forward. The court should allow the case to go forward,” she said.

Sen. Kristen Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) earlier this week called for Trump to step down over the allegations, amid a rash of resignations and firings of men in a variety of prominent industries over harassment and assault claims.
