WASHINGTON
(Reuters) - The New York Times said on Thursday that it stands
by its story about two women who say Republican presidential
candidate Donald Trump made inappropriate advances, and rebutted
claims by a lawyer for Trump that the story is libelous.
"Nothing in our article has had the slightest effect on the
reputation that Mr. Trump, through his own words and actions,
has already created for himself," David McCraw, vice president
and assistant general counsel for the newspaper, said in a
letter to Trump's lawyer.
If Trump disagrees that the story was libelous, "we welcome the
opportunity to have a court set him straight," McCraw said in
the letter.
