Evidence basis

Documented response

Trump denied Harth's allegations and said she had pursued him; his campaign also characterized her as a pawn in litigation, as reported by the cited sources.

Disposition

Harth withdrew the sexual-harassment complaint in connection with resolution of a separate contract dispute. The alleged conduct was not adjudicated, and withdrawal is not a finding that the allegation was disproven.
