Donald Trump Boasts of Sexual Assault in 2005 Video
---------------------------------------------------

In news from the campaign trail, a defiant Donald Trump squared off
against Hillary Clinton in a bitter presidential debate on Sunday,
capping an extraordinary weekend that saw top Republicans call on Trump
to end his presidential run following the release of a videotape showing
Trump boasting about sexually assaulting women. The three-minute video,
recorded by NBC's "Access Hollywood" in 2005, was released Friday by The
Washington Post. It opens with audio of Trump and TV host Billy Bush
speaking on a bus as Trump prepares to meet Arianne Zucker, star of the
soap opera "Days of Our Lives." A warning to our audience: This video
contains vulgar, disturbing language.

Donald Trump: "I've got to use some Tic Tacs just in case I start
kissing her. You know, I'm automatically attracted to beautiful-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."

Billy Bush: "Whatever you want."

Donald Trump: "Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything."
