A woman has told a court that Donald Trump molested her with what seemed like “40 zillion hands” on an airline flight in the late 1970s — years before writer E Jean Carroll says the former president sexually assaulted her at a Manhattan department store.

Jessica Leeds, 81, of Asheville, North Carolina, told jurors at a civil trial arising from Ms Carroll’s lawsuit that Mr Trump grabbed her chest and ran his hand up her skirt as they sat side by side in first class on a New York City-bound jet.
