It is a cringeworthy scene there. Well get to that. Just thinking about it gives me chills. Yeah, that story off of mexico. But here in the states its good friday morning. Its a rough one in the political scene. We get started with both donald and Melania Trump fighting back this morning following a string of Sexual Assault allegations and taking direct aim at the accusers. Donald trump is dismissing claims that he groped and kissed women without consent calling them outright lies and he claims he has evidence to refute them. Trumps wife melania tweeted a letter from her lawyer demanding a partial retraction from people magazine. Mrs. Trump is specifically denying she had an encounter with an accuser after the alleged assault but did not dispute the claims about her husband. Abcs Angelica Spanos is here with the latest. Angelica, what are we learning . Good morning. Reporter well, kendis and diane, donald trump continues to say that the deck is stacked against him in this election. Hes denying every single word spoken from his accusers, and now hes pointing the finger at the media, the clintons and says his campaign will show substantial evidence that the allegations are all false. Preposterous and ludicrous, the words donald trump used to defend himself against allegations of inappropriately touching women. These people are horrible people. Theyre horrible, horrible liars. Reporter one of those accusers, jessica leeds, who first told the New York Times trump groped her on an airplane back in the 80s recalled more details of the encounter to cnn. Did he actually kiss you . Yeah, yeah. On the face or on the lips . All wherever he could find a landing spot, yes. These false attacks are absolutely hurtful. To be lied about, to be slandered, to be smeared so publicly and before your family that you love is very painful. Reporter his campaign now planning an allout assault on bill clinton and his past misconduct. They will lie, lie, lie. The clintons are criminals. But on the trail Hillary Clinton is unfazed. She brought out one of her most powerful weapons, michelle obama. I cant believe that im saying that a candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women. It has shaken me to my core in a way that i couldnt have predicted. Reporter clinton let the first lady take aim at trump while she sat down with talk show host ellen degeneres. I dont want anybody to think this election is over. Weve got to work really hard for the next 3 1 2 weeks because who knows. Reporter clinton saying she felt like she was being stalked on the debate stage. He was really all wrought up. And you could just sense how much anger he had, and so he was really trying to dominate and then literally stalk me around the stage. Reporter and right now the Clinton Campaign is also still dealing with fallout from the wikileaks releases. The newest internal emails show clintons advisers persuading her to apologize for using a private email server. Kendis, diane, back to you. Yeah, and the Clinton Campaign has yet to verify whether those latest emails are real. Angelica, thank you. As trumps accusers continue to speak out, ivanka hit the campaign trail for him. Ivanka made a rare Solo Campaign swing through pennsylvania taking part in two events attended mostly by women. She refused, though, to address the Sexual Assault allegations against her father, just talking about politics in general and calling it bizarre and vicious. I felt like that i had, you know, sort of cut my teeth in new York Real Estate and, you know, could take some punches, but this is a rough sport, politics. Ivanka talked about her fathers child care plan and she depicted him as a mentor saying she wanted to emulate him as a parent.

And there was a stunning twist in the socalled new jersey bridgegate scandal. One that actually could have some serious consequences for governor chris christie.

And president obama says he is the nerd in chief, and he is not ashamed of that. At a Technology Conference in pittsburgh, the president announced 300 million in grants and also played with some new gadgets including using a simulator to dock a spacecraft at the International Space station. Now this isnt the first time that the president has shown how much he loves technology. I confessed, i am a science geek. Im a nerd, and i dont make any apologies for it. [ applause ] i dont make any apologies for it. Its cool stuff. The president also took a picture with a little science fan. Ah. 10monthold rowan wright in a nasa shirt.
