Donald Trump

Former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos said the businessman forced himself on her at a Los Angeles hotel and began "thrusting his genitals".

Kristin Anderson told the Washington Post he reached up her skirt and groped her in a New York club in the 1990s.

The Republican nominee branded the allegations as "lies and smears".

Ms Anderson, now 46, said the property mogul touched her through her underwear at a Manhattan nightspot when she was a waitress trying to make it as a model.

She said she was "very grossed out and weirded out".

The Republican presidential nominee said the women making the allegations were "horrible liars" and the media was colluding with rival Hillary Clinton.

Several women say he groped them or forcibly kissed them.

First Lady Michelle Obama earlier said Mr Trump's boasts about groping women were "shocking and demeaning".

"Leaders should meet a basic standard of human decency," she said during a campaign appearance in New Hampshire.

Two women told the New York Times that the Republican presidential runner groped or kissed them.

A reporter for People magazine wrote a first person account describing being forcibly kissed by the property tycoon.

It condemned "the misogynist, hateful comments" it said had been made by Mr Trump about women and minorities.

It follows the release of a 2005 video last week in which Mr Trump makes remarks about groping women.

Mr Trump has apologised for remarks, which he described as as "locker-room talk".

He has also denied touching women inappropriately.

The motion was filed by Greens party MP Jeremy Buckingham to the Upper House of the NSW parliament.

It said: "This house... agrees with those who have described Mr Trump as a 'revolting slug'."

Two high-ranking Trump campaign sources confirmed to CNNMoney that a lawsuit is in the works, but has not been filed.

"NYT editors, reporters, politically motivated accusers better lawyer up," one of the sources said on condition of anonymity.

The Times story features two women -- Jessica Leeds and Rachel Crooks -- who say that Trump made inappropriate physical advances. CNN has not been able to independently confirm their accounts.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Raad al-Hussein cited Mr Trump's comments on the use of torture and his attitude to "vulnerable communities".

The Republican presidential candidate's campaign has been marked by a number of controversial comments.

Recent crude remarks about women have caused the biggest political fallout.

Overnight President Barack Obama, at a rally for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, condemned those comments, saying: "The guy says stuff that nobody would find tolerable if they were applying for a job at 7-Eleven."

One woman said Mr Trump grabbed her breasts and attempted to put his hand up her skirt on a flight three decades ago.

The second woman said Mr Trump kissed her on the mouth against her will at Trump Towers in 2005.

Mr Trump's campaign said "this entire article is fiction".

Mr Trump also said Republicans were coming at him "from all sides" and their disloyalty was harder to fight than the Democrats.

Mr Ryan is the latest Republican not to back Mr Trump after a 2005 video emerged showing him making obscene comments about groping women.

However Mr Trump has been strongly supported by running mate Mike Pence.

"You have nominated a man for president who never quits, who never backs down. He is a fighter, he is a winner," Mr Pence said at an event in Iowa, praising him for apologising for his obscene comments during Sunday's debate.

"I feel that it's very important that I address you all directly," O'Dell said at the top of the broadcast.

"As a journalist for 26 years now, it is my job to bring you news about others, rather than turning the focus on myself," she continued. "But by now, I'm sure that most of you have heard the audio tape which became national news and part of the presidential race."

O'Dell is the "Nancy" referenced in the vulgar conversation Trump had with her then "Access Hollywood" co-host, Bush.

Capping the most devastating 48 hours of his presidential campaign, Trump stunned the country on Sunday by convening a press conference with women who have accused Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct and calling the former president an abuser of women in a nationally televised debate.
