White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said yesterday that the official White House position on the 16 women who accused President Trump of sexual harassment during his campaign is that they are lying.
Why it matters: While men like Harvey Weinstein and Mark Halperin are being called out for their history of harassment and abuse, Trump has not had to face the several allegations against him.

Demonstrators demanding justice burned a Minneapolis police station and took control of the streets around it last night, heaving wood onto the flames, kicking down poles with surveillance cameras and torching surrounding stores.
What's happening: The crowd was protesting the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man whose life was snuffed out Tuesday by a white Minneapolis police officer who kneeled on his neck for about eight minutes.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey fired back at President Trump on Friday, after the president accused the mayor of weak leadership amid violence sparked by the killing of an unarmed black man by a white police officer.
Driving the news: Trump made his accusations in a pair of tweets early Friday, saying he would bring the national guard into Minneapolis if Frey couldn't “bring the City under control.”
