Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller released a statement Wednesday responding to a New York Times report on allegations by two women that Trump groped each of them decades apart.

The report detailed allegations that Trump groped one woman on an airplane decades ago and kissed another woman at Trump Tower in 2005. The story was released late on Wednesday night and the Trump campaign quickly denied the allegations.

“This entire article is fiction, and 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 trivializes sexual assault, and it sets a new low for where the media is willing to go in its efforts to determine this election,” Miller said in a release posted on the Trump Campaign’s website.

“It is absurd to think that one of the most recognizable business leaders on the planet with a strong record of empowering women in his companies would do the things alleged in this story, and for this to only become public decades later in the final month of a campaign for president should say it all.”

The Trump campaign quickly alleged media bias.

“Further, the Times story buries the pro-Clinton financial and social media activity on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s candidacy, reinforcing that this truly is nothing more than a political attack. This is a sad day for the Times,” Miller said.

    In an unguarded moment, he has already admitted it – I don’t think his checkbook is going to save him …this time.

    It’s so fitting that the first woman PotUS would triumph over a deplorable crowd like that and that women voters will be the ones to make it a cataclysmic knockout.
