Former President Donald Trump reprised his past sexual misconduct allegations before television cameras, potentially rekindling voter memories of incidents that had faded from public discourse.

Standing in his Manhattan office tower, Trump dismissed the allegations as fabrications, using graphic language to discuss the cases, including one by columnist E. Jean Carroll that could draw further legal scrutiny.

Trump's remarks came as Vice President Kamala Harris prepared for their upcoming debate, highlighting contrasting campaign styles. Despite urging from his aides to address policy, Trump focused on his legal battles, aiming to mobilize his base amid ongoing criminal and civil cases.
