Donald Trump’s lewd comments SLAMMED by wife Melania and running mate Pence, by Tom Parfitt.
Melania went on to defend her husband, saying: “This does not represent the man that I know. He has the heart and mind of a leader.
“I hope people will accept his apology, as I have, and focus on the important issues facing our nation and the world.”
The former model married Mr Trump in 2005, just months after he made the unguarded comments to TV host Billy Bush.

The new Wikileaks emails are getting second fiddle — a very distant second fiddle — in the mainstream media which is a lot more excited about the Trump tape. And if something isn’t in the mainstream media, then as far as undecided voters are concerned, it didn’t happen.
Republicans who say Trump should resign because of this are disgusting traitors. Did a single Democrat say that Bill Clinton should resign because of his much worse behavior?
The hypocrisy from the media and their relative unwillingness to cover Clinton’s scandals and foibles are striking.
