NYT: Trump questions authenticity of 'Access Hollywood' tape
"Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump has questioned the authenticity of the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape in which he bragged about being able to grope women, The New York Times reported over the weekend, despite the fact that Trump immediately apologized for his remarks when the video surfaced.
Trump's decision to stick with Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore despite sexual harassment allegations against him is rooted in the President's own sexual harassment scandal during the 2016 election.
"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," the Times reported. "He suggested to a senator earlier this year that it was not authentic, and repeated that claim to an adviser more recently."
CNN has not independently confirmed the New York Times' reporting. The White House has not responded to CNN's request for comment.".
Of course we all remember him taking ownership of that tape. No wavering. Called it "locker room talk". It is caught on many videos. Now to question it may not have been him, when there were other people in the van with him, like Billy Bush, some have suggested is the hallmark of a pathological liar.
