Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen wrote that President-elect Donald Trump once asked, Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter than your wife? but the quote was quietly removed before the syndicated column was published Tuesday.
Trump was reportedly referring to his daughter, Ivanka, who was 13 years old at the time.
The quote was circulated Monday in a draft of Cohens piece Our Next President, The Godfather that was sent to outlets that syndicate the column, a source told BuzzFeed News. The quote did not appear in the later, final version of the piece carried by the Post and other outlets.
Cohens column details the president-elects increasingly blurred familial and political ties as he prepares to enter the White House.
The reporting appeared in an advance version of the column that was circulated on Monday for publication on Tuesday and thereafter. It appeared as an aside after the introduction of Jared Kushner, which still appears in the final column:

(61,692 posts)Effing disgusting, but I'll do it because it needs to be out there. I think trump will use his power to try to assault a young woman while he's president. The secret service will have to protect her from him, then they'll hide it.
