Meryl Streep has criticised Melania and Ivanka Trump for not speaking out about the sexual harassment scandal.
The actress, who has been accused of being "deliberately silent" about allegations against disgraced mogul Harvey Weinstein, said she wants to hear from the wife and daughter of the president, who has himself been accused of harassment.
Streep told the New York Times: "I found out about this on a Friday and went home deep into my own life."
Pointing out that she does not have Twitter or Facebook accounts, she added: "I really had to think. Because it really underlined my own sense of cluelessness, and also how evil, deeply evil, and duplicitous, a person he was, yet such a champion of really great work.

"You make movies. You think you know everything about everybody. So much gossip. You don't know anything. People are so inscrutable on a certain level. And it's a shock. Some of my favourite people have been brought down by this, and he's not one of them."
Asked how she felt that people were waiting for her to respond, she said: "I don't want to hear about the silence of me. I want to hear about the silence of Melania Trump. I want to hear from her.
"She has so much that's valuable to say. And so does Ivanka. I want her to speak now."
Weinstein has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex.
