NBC News reports
that some Democratic lawmakers are planning to invite victims of sexual assault to President Donald Trump‘s State of the Union address this month in order to highlight the issue:

“Some members will be bringing survivors of sexual assault and advocates as their guests,” said an aide to Rep. Lois Frankel of Florida, who is a leader of the Democratic Women’s Working Group in the House. 

Note: These would not be the alleged victims of sexual misconduct by Trump himself. The president has boasted on tape of getting away with sexual assault and numerous women have accused him of sexual misconduct. Trump says they’re all liars.
