Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) issued a Thanksgiving day apology after two more women came forward to accuse him of inappropriate touching. “I’ve met tens of thousands of people and taken thousands of photographs, often in crowded and chaotic situations,” Franken wrote in a statement to the Star Tribune. The second woman told HuffPost that Franken cupped her buttocks at a Democratic fundraiser, then suggested they visit the bathroom together. Franken told HuffPost that he didn’t remember the campaign events, and that it was difficult to respond to anonymous accusers. The Star Tribune also reported that Franken will speak with media on Sunday.
