"When you looked at that horrible woman last night, you said, 'I don't think so,' " Trump said, referring to former People magazine writer Natasha Stoynoff, who says the GOP presidential nominee pushed her against a wall and forcibly kissed her in 2005 during an interview at his Florida resort.

"Whoever she is, wherever she comes from, the stories are total fiction. They are 100 percent made up. They never happened. They never would happen," he said at the rally in Greensboro, N.C. 

He added, "I don't think it would happen with her and many people, but they certainly aren't going happen with me."

Another woman, Jessica Leeds, accused Trump of groping her during a flight more than 30 years ago.

On Friday, Trump said of Leeds, "Believe me, she would not be my first choice. That I can tell you. You don't know. That would not be my first choice." 

Since the public release of a 2005 recording last week in which Trump brags about groping and kissing women without their consent, several women have accused him of sexual assault. 

The New York Times reported Leeds's story this week, along with that of another woman who said Trump kissed her in Trump Tower in 2005.

On Friday, another accuser told The Washington Post that Trump put his hands up her skirt while at a crowded Manhattan nightclub in the early 1990s. 

Trump denied that specific report Friday, saying "I just heard this one. It's like, it's like unbelievable."

"Even a simple investigation would have shown these allegations against me in just about all cases — it's false," he said.

Trump questioned the women's motives, saying they could be accusing him for fame or money.

"Some are doing it probably for a little fame. They get some free fame. It's a total setup," he said. "Sometimes they do it for fame. Maybe they get money, who knows."

As Trump was speaking, a former "Apprentice" contestant, Summer Zervos, held a press conference alongside lawyer Gloria Allred and said that Trump groped and kissed her in 2007 while she was meeting with him about a potential job.
