Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is vowing to “set the record straight” at a news conference today, one day after a fourth woman—and the first to reveal her identity—accused him of inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace a decade ago. Sharon Bialek’s allegations are just the latest in a string of claims that have rocked Cain’s presidential campaign. “There is not an ounce of truth to all these allegations, and the graphic account from Sharon Bialek is totally fabricated,” the Georgia businessman told late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night. Bialek stood by her accusation when asked about it this morning in the wake of Cain’s denial, saying in a nationally broadcast interview that she had “nothing to gain” by coming forward. “It’s not about me. I’m not running for president,” she says. Cain says he’ll address the latest furor in more detail this afternoon in Phoenix as he seeks to stem the fallout of a controversy stretching into its second week. “I’m going to talk about it,” Cain says, adding, “We are taking this head on”—a reversal from just days ago when he told reporters he was done answering questions about the matter.
