Should President Trump be investigated for sexual assault?

From Harvey Weinstein to Al Franken, allegations of sexual misconduct are finally coming to the light. But many are wondering why President Donald Trump's accusers haven't been taken seriously. Trump has now been accused of sexual misconduct by 19 women and was caught on tape openly bragging about sexual assault. Many are calling on Congress to investigate Trump, but others feel this is nothing more than a witch hunt aimed at bringing down the president. What do you think?

According to the New York Times, at least 30 high-profile men have been accused of sexual misconduct in the weeks since the Harvey Weinstein story broke, and for the first time, accusers are being believed. While many are happy to see progress being made on this front, some wonder why President Trump, who has been accused of harassment or assault by 19 women, has yet to be investigated.

Some have argued that there would be no #MeToo moment if Donald Trump had not been elected, even after being accused of various forms of misconduct, from groping to rape. But in recent weeks several of Trump’s accusers have said that while they’re happy sexual harassment is being discussed more openly, they’re still dismayed that their own stories seem to have had little impact.

Many have expressed outrage that President Trump has not been investigated for alleged sexual assault and harassment, and are calling on Congress to do something about it.

As man after man gets suspended, fired, and booted for their long histories of sexual harassment and assault, the justification for Donald Trump remaining in office another day is a mystery.

The list of professions with a higher standard than the White House is long.

Call @SenateMajLdr McConnell and tell him to launch an ethics investigation against Trump, who has 16+ sexual harassment and assault allegations against him.

Franken was accused ONCE and call an ethics investigation ON HIMSELF.

It's past time for one on Trump.#MondayMotivation pic.twitter.com/xspftIrR1B

Many members of Congress have called on Trump to resign altogether.

Senator Kamala Harris: Trump should resign over sexual harassment allegations

That’s 12 Members of Congress (8 Senators, 4 House) demanding Trump resign over his sexual misconduct#TrumpResign #TrumpSexProbe https://t.co/rYcxn4JlQc

And after reports came out claiming attorney Lisa Bloom sought compensation for some of the Trump accusers, many felt this proved his accusers weren't telling the truth.

Twitter & Facebook are keeping the report about Lisa Bloom offering to pay $750,000 to women "who made or considered making sexual misconduct allegations against Donald Trump during the final months of the 2016 presidential race," off the trending now sections.#LisaBloom #MeToo pic.twitter.com/YBEHzuWzRc

Lisa Bloom was caught trying to pay women off with as much as $750,000 in exchange for accusing Trump of sexual assault. She also had an accuser's mortgage paid off in exchange for accusing @realDonaldTrump. Lisa Bloom + her mom Gloria Allred are frauds. https://t.co/FCdn8Xf9tP
