Trump supporter and head of the Conservative Action Political Conference Matt Schlapp avoided questions from The Independent about allegations that he groped a Republican campaign staffer, as the GOP confab got underway on Thursday.
Mr Schlapp has been the chairman of the American Conservative Union, which organises CPAC. He faces alegations that he groped a staffer while campaigning for former Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker in Georgia. A staffer for Mr Walker told The Daily Beast that Mr Schlapp “groped” and “fondled” his crotch. Mr Schlapp has vehemently denied the allegations.
