Washington (CNN)A top adviser to Donald Trump apologized Tuesday for comments he made in an explosive interview while defending the Republican presidential candidate from a decades-old rape accusation.

Michael Cohen, special counsel to Trump and an executive vice president at The Trump Organization, asserted in an interview published Monday in the Daily Beast that legally "you cannot rape your spouse." The rape accusation stems from an accusation Trump's then-wife Ivana Trump leveled at her husband during divorce proceedings in the early 1990s, an accusation she walked back in a statement Tuesday.

Trump adviser Michael Cohen apologizes for rape comment

See how that works. Leftwing Daily Beast runs hit piece, making up stuff. And CNN runs headline of Trump adviser apologizing for rape comment.

Amazing stuff.

In the extremely rare cases the left apologizes for anything, it’s all forgotten by the end of the day.

The media’s not going to want to let this go for obvious reasons.

Let’s see how DT fields the inevitable questions, even though he himself didn’t say it.

He should quickly point out that the msm’s obsession with anything to bring him down is a ruse to deflect from the real issues, like real rapes, murders, property damage, and stealing jobs from Americans by the illegal invaders.

Why isn’t Ivana’s endorsement of Trump and her downplaying of her “rape” remarks been posted yet. Just asking.

Well, he’s one ahead of the Walker donor who called Trump a “dumb dumb”
I suspect Trump called Cohen and said “fix this”

The left has done what it set out to do. It put the words “Trump Rape” in the news, and now it can refer back to them an infinite number of times, until enough a$$whole$ in the public believe them.
