The former president has maintained his support for Herbster even after, in mid-April, eight women denounced in an article in the local newspaper Nebraska Examiner that the candidate groped them without their consent at public events.

Two of them have made their names public, and one of them, Republican state senator Julie Slama, claims that Herbster he put his hand up her skirt at an act in 2019.

The other, Republican adviser Elizabeth Todsen, made her complaint public this Saturday, stating that Herbster he had groped her in the same act as Slama.

Herbster He has denied all the allegations and has sued Slama for defamation, who responded with a complaint against him for sexual assault.

This is not the first time that Trump has endorsed a candidate accused of sexual abuse: in 2017, he campaigned for Roy Moore, a Republican Senate candidate from Alabama accused of sexually abusing several teenage girls and who ultimately lost the election.

Trump, who once bragged about grabbing women by the genitals, has been accused by at least 26 women of sexual harassment or abuse, including one allegation of rape.

The former president has denied all these allegations, which mostly arose during the 2016 election campaign but did not prevent his election as president, and during his tenure he did not hesitate to defend several men accused of sexual crimes, including Judge Brett Kavanaugh, by who nominated for the Supreme.
