Trump subsequently issued an apology that simultaneously took aim at his rival's husband.

“This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago," Trump said. "Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course - not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.”

The remarks were met with widespread condemnation. Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus immediately issued a statement saying, "No woman should ever be described in these terms or talked about in this manner. Ever.”

Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, was "beside himself" and Pence's wife was furious, a person familiar with their thinking told the Associated Press. In public, Pence ignored questions shouted by reporters in Rossford, Ohio, where he was campaigning with his daughter.

America’s Choice: The First Female President, Or A Guy Who Says ‘Grab Them By The P***y’

On Friday, The Washington Post published a recording from 2005 of Donald Trump, now the Republican nominee for president, using vulgar language to talk about trying to grope women and assessing them as if they’re nothing more than sex objects. Trump turned 59 in 2005. At the time he made these comments, he’d recently married his third and current wife, Melania. Portions of those remarks appear uncensored below.

“When you’re a star they let you do it,” Trump says in the recording, which was captured on a hot mic aboard the bus of “Access Hollywood.” “You can do anything ... Grab them by the p*ssy. You can do anything.”

At another point, he talks about how he’d “moved on” a married woman and tried to “f*ck her,” but failed.

“I moved on her like a b*tch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married,” Trump said. “Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony t*ts and everything. She’s totally changed her look.”

The Trump Files: Donald's Creepy Poolside Parties in Florida
"Trump insisted on at least a three-to-two ratio of women to men at his bashes."

Max J. RosenthalSep. 27, 2016 6:00 AM

In 1993, Trump hosted the finals of the American Dream Calendar Girls pageant in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and a spot in the calendar meant modeling gigs and visibility. "None of the women competing wanted to miss a chance to impress a judge like Trump," wrote the Tampa Bay Times in a profile of Trump.

Trump apparently saw it differently. "What it was was a way to get his friends together and bring a bunch of pretty girls with them," said George Houraney, who owned the pageant with his then-wife, Jill Harth. Harth said Trump groped her during a Mar-a-Lago party in 1993, and then "kissed, fondled, and restrained" her during a visit to his daughter Ivanka's bedroom, according to the Globe. Harth sued Trump but dropped the lawsuit in 1997. She told the Post that dropping the suit was a condition of settling a separate breach-of-contract suit Houraney and Harth filed against Trump. Trump strenuously denied Harth's story.

The suit also mentioned other alleged sexual advances by Trump. The Globe described one encounter with a pageant hopeful:

In the predawn hours, a contestant named Lauren Petrella—who, at age 22, was 24 years younger than the 46-year-old Trump—allegedly found Trump, unannounced and uninvited, in her bed. "You said you don't sleep with men on the first date," he told her, according to the lawsuit filed by Harth. "Now it's the second date, and here I am."

Donald Trump’s Debate Practice Is A Joke

The event lasted just over 30 minutes, and the questions, selected from an invitation-only crowd, were complete softballs, bearing little resemblance to what he will encounter from moderators Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz, and audience members during Sunday’s debate.



Sunday’s matchup is crucial for Trump. He had been closing in on Clinton until his poor performance in last week’s debate, which appears to have cost him dearly in polls. He now trails Clinton by more than 6 percentage points, according to HuffPost Pollster, which aggregates all available public polls.

Here is a sampling of questions put to Trump in New Hampshire:

Corey Lewandowski Exhorts Trump To Sue New York Times ‘Into Oblivion’ For Tax Report

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/corey-lewandowski-donald-trump-new-york-times_us_57f25b25e4b024a52d2fabd5?section=&

Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager and a current political analyst for CNN, weighed in Monday on a bombshell New York Times report about Donald Trump’s 1995 tax return.

Reacting to the Times’ disclosure over the weekend that a near $1 billion loss reported by Trump in 1995 could have allowed him to legally avoid paying income tax for as many as 18 years, Lewandowski said he hoped the GOP presidential nominee sues the newspaper “into oblivion,” Media Matters reported.

Lewandowski questioned the authenticity of the tax documents, but was reminded that the preparer confirmed their authenticity. He questioned the legality of the Times publishing the return, while Camerota shot back that it is legal if considered of national importance.

“There is no national security interest to Donald Trump’s tax returns, that’s a fact, and The New York Times should be held accountable,” he said. “And I hope he sues them into oblivion for doing this, because if the fact remains ― if it comes out that these aren’t accurate, where’s the recourse?”

Michael Chertoff Endorses Hillary Clinton For President

The lifelong Republican, who served under President George W. Bush, told Bloomberg he is endorsing the former secretary of state because of her experience on matters of national security. Clinton, he said, “has good judgment and a strategic vision how to deal with the threats that face us.”

Chertoff’s endorsement of Clinton is surprising, to say the least. He was once the lead Republican counsel on the Senate Whitewater committee, which looked into one of the earliest Clinton scandals in search of a storyline.

What made Chertoff shun Donald Trump, the nominee of his own party? The real estate mogul’s poor performance in last week’s debate and his impulsive temperament in the wake of his feud with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado:

“Not only did he seem at the debate to lose his temper, but to get up at 3:30 a.m. and reach for your smartphone is to me a hysterical reaction. If you’re president, the button you reach for is not the Twitter button; it’s the nuclear button,” Chertoff told Bloomberg.
