Wading into the #MeToo moment, Trump said he views such accusations "differently" because he's "had a lot of false charges made against me." He made the comments at a news conference in New York a day before Judge Brett Kavanaugh was set to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee amid multiple accusations of sexual misconduct.
