And weve got our countdown clock going and theres been a lot of excitement about this overnight. Lets get that countdown clock up. There it is. All coming up but well begin with that avalanche of accusations against donald trump. Detailing how they were groped by trump. His lawyers are now demanding a retraction threatening to sue and abcs david wright starts us off with the latest. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, george. Trump not only denies it, but he is demanding a retraction and threatening to sue the times forth deaf father make and libel. Theyre decades old but theyre coming forward now because trump claimed at the debate on sunday he had never sexually assaulted women. He was like an octopus. It was like he had six arms. He was all over the place. Reporter Jessica Leeds told the New York Times trump assaulted her more than three decades ago on a plane after she was upgraded to first class on a business trip. I sat down next to a young man, blond, tall and he introduced himself as donald trump. Reporter she told the paper the two exchanged pleasantries at first. She said he asked if she was married. She told him she was divorced. It wasnt until they cleared the armrest in the seat disappeared when all of a sudden his hands were all over me. He started encroaching on my face. On my space. If he had stuck with the uer part of the body, i might not have gotten that upset. Its when he started putting his hand up my skirt, and that was it. That was it. I i was out of there. I t going back to my seat in coach. I was so glad to get back to that seat. Reporter the Trump Campaign dismisses the allegations as fiction. For the New York Times to launch a completely false, coordinated character assassination against mr. Trump on a topic like this is dangerous. To reach back decades in an attempt to smear mr. Trump, its a new low for where the media is willing to go in its efforts to determine this election. Were not electing a pastor. Were electing a president. Reporter the story comes after trumps lewd comments to billy bush on the access hollywood bus in 2005. And when youre a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Whatever you want. Grab them by the [ bleep ]. You can do anything. Reporter at sundays debate, trump excused that as locker room talk. Things that are said and i was embarrassed by it but i have tremendous respect for women. Have you ever done those things . And women have respect for me and i will tell you, no, i have not. Reporter but another woman Rachel Crooks an adviser at Bowling Green State University told the times in 2005 when she was a 22yearold secretary working in trump tower, she met trump in the elevator one day and introduced herself. She told the paper that when they shook hands he didnt let go. That he kissed her on the cheeks and then on the mouth. Thought i was so insignificant that he could do that. Both women now support Hillary Clinton for president. Neither of them filed formal complaints against trump at the time. Both say they felt powerless to challenge him. During the late 60s, 70s and into the 80s, culture had instilled in us that somehow it was our fault. Reporter and you should know we did ask the Trump Campaign to come on this morning. They chose not to but, david, the Trump Campaign now saying they are going to sue the New York Times. But the times not the only publication out there publishing accounts from his accusers. Thats right. There is a succession of women, coming forward. The palm beach post. A succession of beauty queen, so far its all she said he said, no proof to back up the claims and trump denies them all. David wright, thanks very much. All right. They are both out there on the campaign trail as we know election and it is heating up. Abcs tom llamas is there in vero beach, florida, and, tom, trump is also making a big change to his Campaign Strategy this morning, isnt he . Reporter robin, good morning. Youre right. There is a Major Development on the campaign trail. Sources tell us that the campaign is pulling out of the battleground state of virginia and rieallocating resources to other battleground states like florida where we are this morning and this comes at a critical time for the campaign. As donald trump faces troubling headlines over his behavior with women, hes amping up his attacks on Hillary Clinton. She reporter the selfproclaimed unshackled trump sending his base into a feeding frenzy over those hacked emails. The wikileaks emails show that Hillary Clintons staff even has to give her secret notes on when she needs to smile. Smile, hillary. Smile. Reporter and trump still talking about that last debate and this memorable moment when he hovered behind clinton on stage. That i want to invade is her space. Believe me. Reporter the republican nominee also still bashing gop leaders. Furious for speaker, paul ryan, for not calling hip aftm after debate. Youd think that theyd say great going, don. Lets go. Lets beat this crook. She is a crook. Lets beat her. We got to stop it. No, he doesnt do that. Thats a whole sinister deal going on. Reporter but the Clinton Campaign facing their own distractions. The basis in, and you know, im basically your standard redneck. Reporter former president bill clinton calling himself a redneck. Critics saying he was labeling trump voters the same way. Clinton denying it. Its a social logical term. A lot of us take a lot of pride in it, including me. Im not ashamed of it. Reporter now back to those wikileaks, Clinton Campaign email hacked. Lets put it up on the screen right now a tweet from his account that said, quote, ive switched teams. Vote trump 2016. The Clinton Campaign confirming that podestas twitter handle has also been hacked. George. Thank you, tom. Lets talk about this with our political analysts matthew dowd and cokie roberts. Lets begin with accusers coming forward on trump 26 days to go right now. His team defiant, threatening to sue the New York Times, maybe these other publications out there as well, but there are a lot of denials now to make. Its a argument of he said she said is accurate. He said he did it and they said they agreed with him actually and said, yes, he did do it and they testified to the truth of his statement in this. To me, the problem for this for donald trump in this is heres a guy that wants to protect or borders, but has no problem and most of these women that always come forward have nothing to gain other than telling the truth against somebody who has a classic case of intimidation. One of the questions what does he have to gain to go scorched earth against the accusers . Well, i think he has no other choice. And this is his modus operandi. He goes full force. He threatens to sue. Thats what he does, but if we had not heard his voice saying i just cant help myself, i start kissing these people, it might be different but weve heard him say that and so to hear to happened is not exactly surprisingnd the republican leadership, george, i mean, what were they thinking . As they allowed this to go forward. Thats going to be a big question, matthew dowd. One thing you saw after the tape came out on friday, a lot of republicans disavowed trump. They start some start to come back to his camp on sunday after the debate but now his campaign is a downward spiral. You saw tom about there hes pulling out of the state of virginia. Hillary clinton now ahead pretty than 270 electoral votes. As we talked sunday this is akin to tiger woods hitting the fire hydrant and everything after this moment hell be downhill on this. His chances before this came out yesterday were slim to none. Slim is packing his bags and leaving town and in this case, he has a very difficult window to win. I think its almost impossible at this point with where the numbers are in this thing. The fat lady is warming her voice. She is on stage. She has been introduced and she is just about ready to sing. It could be an awful 3 1 2 people and for us to watch what is likely to come forward for the next three weeks. He does need to get the unshackled donald is not a good donald. Shackled is probably better. That leads to the question next wednesday supposed to be the third debate. Does he show . Well, i think thats a real question. Hes now got seven days he has to handle this. My expectation this wont be the end of this story, just the beginning of the story and what does he do . Does he have to again say deny where 50 Million People watch . Theyre in a difficult spot. Meanwhile, the russians are hacking away and trying to influence our election. Were going to see more of those leak, as well. Cokie roberts, matt dowd, thanks very much. As we said, next and final president ial debate scheduled for next wednesday right here on abc. Ill anchor our live coverage with our whole Political Team starting at 9 eastern. Michael. Thank you, george. The other huge headline is hurricane nicole.
