President Donald Trump now claims that the Access Hollywood tape on which he boasted of sexually assaulting women may not be genuine, according to a report in The New York Times.
On the tape, which surfaced weeks before the November 2016 presidential election, the former reality star can be heard bragging to TV presenter Billy Bush of grabbing women “by the p***y.”
Trump faced calls to step aside from the race after the tape went public, and apologized for the remarks, dismissing them as “locker room talk.”
However according to the Times, the president told a senator earlier this year that the tape was not genuine and repeated the claim to an adviser recently.
The president apparently sees parallels between the situation he faced after the release of the tape in 2016 and that currently faced by Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore.

Trump should stick to the truth here...it WAS locker room talk and, accepted as such by the American public, it didn’t hurt him.
You lie!
Would be ironic if the tape was fake all along. But even it if was true, what is wrong with saying that women would have sex with you if you were a celebrity? Remember The Beatles back in 1964? They pretty much had every women in America wanting to have sex with them. It's just the way it is. Male celebrities are going to have a lot of women wanting to have sex with them.
I heard it was out of context as in he was saying there were types of powerful people who would act that way. Not that he was one of them. It was locker room TALK.
He should letbsleeping dogs lie. By bringingnitbup again, he risks making it a distraction from his Presidency.
The New York Times is not a valid news source and is not to be trusted.
More silly innuendo from the paper that gave us Walter Duranty and Jayson Blair. What this story is likely doing is misrepresenting the perspective from which Donald may have made his comments regarding the tape in that it was silly locker room talk that had very little or any genuine newsworthiness a decade later.
Just drop it, Mr President.....whats done is done. NO need for further controversy
You won in spite of it
"The last thing we need in Alabama and the U.S. Senate is a Schumer/Pelosi puppet who is WEAK on Crime, WEAK on the Border, Bad for our Military and our great Vets, Bad for our 2nd Amendment, AND WANTS TO RAISES TAXES TO THE SKY. Jones would be a disaster!" 8 hours ago
"I endorsed Luther Strange in the Alabama Primary. He shot way up in the polls but it wasn’t enough. Can’t let Schumer/Pelosi win this race. Liberal Jones would be BAD!" 7 hours ago
"Since the first day I took office, all you hear is the phony Democrat excuse for losing the election, Russia, Russia,Russia. Despite this I have the economy booming and have possibly done more than any 10 month President. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" 29 minutes ago
The tape is out there as are transcripts. He was talking about himself. And he apologized for it. So why would be now claim that it was a fake when there are people out there and the tape itself to show otherwise? Trump is not an idiot.
And my dog whispered "It's true" too, so...
This could be Fake News intended to put that recording back into the headlines, discredit Trump regarding claims of falsification, and discredit a current candidate regarding claims of falsification by extension.
They are trolling Trump to get him back into the game that has been destroying them the last couple of weeks. He should try to stay on the sidelines for this one.
AHH...then just fake news. Wonder why.
Agreed...this is FAKE NEWS. “New York Times via Newsweek via MSN”. Filtered through three layers of fake news to the highest purity of fake news.
Not sure if this account is true. Won’t know unless we see a tweet on it by Trump himself.
Yep, Trump should COMPLETELY IGNORE this and not take their bait!
