Donald Trump finally speaks out on the infamous 'Access Hollywood' tapes
The 45th President of the United States has run into his fair share of controversy since he was elected as the veritable leader of the western world in 2016. Even his election campaign, which he ran against former Secretary of State and political powerhouse, Hillary Clinton was blighted by scandal after scandal.
Certainly, just before American citizens were due to cast their votes, a now infamous recording emerged of Donald Trump making sex boasts. The video clip showed the former Apprentice star and billionaire business mogul bragging to television host Billy Bush about his attempts to sleep with a married woman. He is heard saying:
"I just start kissing them [...] It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p***y. You can do anything."

"But something deeper has been consuming Mr Trump.
"He sees the calls for Mr. Moore to step aside as a version of the response to the now-famous 'Access Hollywood' tape, in which he boasted about grabbing women’s genitalia, and the flood of groping accusations against him that followed soon after.
"He suggested to a senator earlier this year that it was not authentic, and repeated that claim to an adviser more recently."
