US President Donald Trump has denied allegations that he sexually assaulted a former model in New York in 1997.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that Amy Dorris told the UK's Guardian newspaper that Mr Trump groped various parts of her body and forcibly kissed her as she came out of a bathroom at the US Open tennis tournament.

Mr Trump's lawyers have denied the claims, branding it an "attempt to attack" him before the election.

Multiple women have accused Mr Trump of inappropriate sexual misconduct.

The president has denied all of the allegations against him.

Ms Dorris, who was 24 years old at the time, said she watched matches with her then-boyfriend Jason Binn in Mr Trump's VIP box.

She said she used the bathroom and alleged Mr Trump was waiting for her outside.
