WASHINGTON — The Latest on the 2016 presidential race (all times EDT):

12:40 a.m.

Lawyers representing Donald Trump are demanding The New York Times retract a story published Wednesday in which two women claim Trump touched them inappropriately and against their will.

Lawyer Marc E. Kasowitz has sent a letter to the Times saying the article is “reckless, defamatory and constitutes libel.”

Trump’s lawyer says the Times article is “nothing more than a politically motivated effort to defeat Mr.Trump’s candidacy.”
