Kristin Anderson, a 46-year-old woman, is claiming that Mr Trump slid his hand under her miniskirt and touched her vagina while they were in a crowded Manhattan nightclub in the 1990s.
Ms Anderson says she shoved his hand away before fleeing the couch, saying that she immediately recognised the man as Mr Trump.
“He was so distinctive looking — with the hair and the eyebrows," she told The Washington Post. "I mean, nobody else has those eyebrows.”
The Trump campaign has vehemently denied the allegation.
“Mr Trump strongly denies this phony allegation by someone looking to get some free publicity," campaign spokesperson Hope Hicks said. "It is totally ridiculous,”
Paul Ryan, the Republican speaker of the house, is expected to address the ongoing turmoil within his party on Friday. He previously said he cannot defend Mr Trump through the allegations and promised to elaborate on his position at the presser.
