"I've never heard anything dumber in my life. All of the sudden, two, three weeks before [the] election, someone comes out — it's not like he hasn't been in the public eye for 30 years," Trump Jr. said on Charlotte, N.C., radio station WBT, CNN reported.

"I think it's probably a typical New York Times smear campaign."

The New York Times on Wednesday published the stories of two women who said Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump touched them inappropriately.

One woman said Trump groped her while seated on a flight more than 30 years ago. Another woman said Trump kissed her on the mouth when she was a 22-year old receptionist in 2005.

A third woman told the Palm Beach Post that Trump had groped her at a resort near Miami in 2003. People magazine also published a story Wednesday by one of its former writers, who said Trump forcibly kissed her at his Mar-a-Lago mansion in December 2005.

The GOP nominee and his campaign have denied the accusations and slammed the publications for their reporting.

Trump Jr. said Thursday his father may sue The New York Times.

"They keep libeling and doing these kind of things, yes, I imagine that would be the intention. It's one thing to report the news. It's another to try to smear someone's name time and time again for political motives and political gain," he said.

"So, I imagine that would certainly be on his mind," he added.

The accusations against Donald Trump follow the release last week of a 2005 recording in which Trump is heard making lewd comments about women. In the tape, Trump describes how he could grope and kiss women because of his celebrity.

Trump has since brushed off the comments as "locker room talk" and denied he ever did the things he talks about in the recording.

Trump Jr. on Thursday slammed the media for the way it portrayed his father's comments on the tape and said the comments show he is "human."
