A woman who identifies herself as New York clinical psychologist Dr Larissa Portnoff has publicly accused President Donald Trump of s*xually ab*sing her as a child. She made the claims in a video that was circulating widely online by 2 November, the day before the 3 November 2026 midterm elections.In the recording, Portnoff says the alleged ab*se started when she was about eight, grew worse around age ten and went on until she was roughly twelve. She says she was targeted again at sixteen and seventeen, and that as an adult she has faced further inappropriate encounters involving Trump and people she describes as members of his inner circle."I was one of the child victims of Donald Trump beginning when I was around eight years old," she says in the recording.Portnoff also alleges that in the past year she was approached by someone she believes was acting as a political go-between for Trump. She describes this as a possible form of witness intimidation. Among the incidents she lists are an invitation to a New York Yankees game on 11 September 2025 and a proposed private meeting at the Waldorf Astoria hotel. She further claims that her home address was tracked down and that sealed records naming her as "Jane Doe" were accessed.She says she has been in contact with the Senate's office and that the Senate Judiciary Committee "recommended" her reports to the attorney general's office. She calls for an investigation and argues the matter should not be seen as a fight between Democrats and Republicans. She also says she decided to speak out so that people close to her would understand what she says happened.
