Four women who have accused President Donald Trump of sexual harassment or assault are calling on Congress to investigate the president.

During a press conference Monday, Jessica Leeds, Samantha Holvey, Rachel Crooks and Lisa Boyne all detailed their allegations against Trump.

He's been accused of sexually harassing and assaulting more than a dozen women.

The women who spoke out Monday pointed to other investigations in Congress, including the Senate Ethics Committee probe into allegations against Sen. Al Franken.

But it's unclear exactly which government agency would be responsible for investigating the claims against Trump.

A White House statement responded to the accusations, saying, "The timing and absurdity of these false claims speaks volumes and the publicity tour that has begun only further confirms the political motives behind them."
