Spicer on sexual misconduct allegations against Trump: ‘All allegations should be treated seriously’

Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Wednesday said all allegations of sexual misconduct should be “treated seriously,” including those against the president.

“I would say that all allegations should be treated seriously. I think we can’t dismiss people who make those,” Spicer said during an interview on Fox Business Network when asked a question regarding allegations of sexual misconduct made against President Trump.

“But I also believe that we need to make sure that we do give people — we are a country of due process,” he continued.

Spicer said there needs to be a system of due process to make sure “people can’t just be accused and be dismissed.”

Depending on what level of government it is, there are “appropriate venues that that can be discussed in,” he said.

“But ultimately, beyond those venues, then there’s obviously voters who get to make a decision whether or not the allegations that they feel have been made — they have to weigh those in terms of how they are going to vote for a particular individual,” Spicer said.

Multiple women accused Trump, during his 2016 presidential campaign, of sexual misconduct. Trump has repeatedly denied the claims, many of which emerged after the leak of a 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape in which Trump is heard making lewd comments about women.
