A former Fox News presenter has claimed that Donald Trump once attempted to kiss her on the lips around the time he married his third wife Melania.

Juliet Huddy said Mr Trump made the move in a lift after the pair had lunch in Trump Tower in either 2005 or 2006. Mr Trump married Melania in January 2005.

The TV host also claimed that Mr Trump made a joke about the incident later when appearing on her show, saying: “I tried hitting on her but she blew me off.”

Ms Huddy insisted she was neither “threatened nor offended” by the behaviour at the time but said she felt “a little shocked”.

The alleged incident has similarities with the claims of other women who claimed Mr Trump made unwanted advances towards them. He has denied the allegations.
