Donald Trump defended his lewd comments on a 2005 video by saying that they were just words - "locker room banter" - and that he had never touched women inappropriately.

However, on Wednesday two women came forward to state that the Republican presidential nominee had groped and kissed them without their consent.

Jessica Leeds claimed that Mr Trump was “like an octopus... his hands were everywhere” during an incident on a plane more than three decades ago.
