U.S. President Donald Trump denied a new accusation of sexual violence raised by a woman who said she had to fight him off more than 20 years ago in the dressing room of a high-end New York department store.

In an interview with The Hill newspaper on Monday, Trump said E. Jean Carroll, a longtime advice columnist for Elle magazine, was "totally lying."

"I'll say it with great respect: Number one, she's not my type. Number two, it never happened. It never happened, OK?" he said.
