George Conway, the ex-husband of formerDonald TrumpaideKellyanne Conway, is helping bring attention to the sexual assault claims against the former president as he seeks a second term in the White House.

On Wednesday, Sept. 25, the attorney’s political action committee launched ads featuring two of the Republican presidential nominee’s sexual assault accusers.

“At one point, Melania went upstairs to change her clothes for the next photo shoot, and Trump said to me, ‘I want to show you this beautiful painting, this beautiful room.’ He leads me to this room, pushes me against the wall, and starts kissing me forcefully,” she says. “I tried to push him. He kept coming back at me.”

“I was in shock and smothered, and he had his hands here against my shoulders. I felt sick inside. I felt horrified, and thank goodness the butler charges into the room,” she continues. “Like many women, I blamed myself. So Trump turned to me and said, ‘You know we’re going have an affair, don’t you?’ and Melania was approaching. I was horrified.”

The second ad featuresJessica Leeds, who claimed in a 2016New York Timesreportthat Trumpgrabbed her breasts and attempted to put his hand up her skirtwhile sitting next to him on a first-class flight in 1979, when she was 38 years old.

Leeds said she encountered the former president at a charity event just two years after their alleged plane interaction, where he insulted her with a “crude remark."

While Trump denied the claims in theTimesarticle, Leeds vividly recalled the alleged encounter in the new ad, saying, “The airplane took off, and all of a sudden Donald Trump started groping me. He was trying to kiss me and I’m trying to push him away, he was basically overpowering me.”

The ads will air on some of Trump’sfavorite channels— Fox News, ESPN, and The Golf Channel — in his home towns of West Palm Beach, Fla., and Bedminster, N.J.

Additionally, the ads are being featured nationally on CNN, MSNBC’sMorning Joe, Hallmark, Lifetime and streaming platforms in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania.

They are also set to air on NewsNation during thevice presidential debateon Tuesday, Oct. 1.
