In her first interview since the release of a 2005 video that captured her husband bragging about making unwanted sexual advances on women, Melania Trump said Monday said she believed the GOP candidate had been egged on.
The video of Donald Trump making vulgar comments about women, recorded on a bus that was taking him and former Access Hollywood host Billy Bush to the set of Days of Our Lives, has been a major problem for his presidential campaign.
In a preview of an interview she gave CNN’s Anderson Cooper, expected to be broadcast at 8 p.m. ET, Melania Trump said she was surprised by audio of her husband because that is not the man she knows.
“And as you can see from the tape, the cameras were not on. It was only a mic. And I wonder if they even knew that the mic was on,” she said. “Because they were kind of – ah — boy talk. And he was led on. Like egg on from the host to say uh dirty and bad stuff.”
Cooper asked her if she believed Billy Bush had egged her husband on, and Melania Trump said “yes.”
The video, posted by the Washington Post, talked about a failed attempt to have sex with a married woman.
Trump then later says, “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.
“Grab them by the pussy,” Trump adds. “You can do anything.”
In a preview of an interview with Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt, Melania Trump also said it was fair for her husband’s campaign to bring up accusations made against Bill Clinton to attack Hillary Clinton.
“Well, if they bring up my past, why not?” Melania said. “They’re asking for it. They started. They started from the — from the beginning of the campaign putting my — my picture from modeling days. That was my modeling days and I’m proud what I did. I worked very hard.”
Fox previewed its interview on The Five at 5 p.m. ET. The entire interview is expected to air on Tuesday morning’s Fox and Friends.
