Trump said tapes and allegations have all been orchestrated by the 'left-wing media' and the Clinton campaign to deflect from Clinton's emails, Benghazi and Wikileaks

Trump said tapes and allegations have all been orchestrated by the 'left-wing media' and the Clinton campaign.

She said its Hillary Clinton's way of deflecting from her emails, Benghazi and Wikileaks.

Trump added she and her husband knew tapes would come out because of Donald Trump's past working on various shows.

She attributed the lewd hot mic tape to 'boys talk'.

'Sometimes I say I have two boys at home. I have my young son, and I have my husband,' Trump said.

Cooper reminded her that her husband was 59 at the time he made the comments about grabbing women's genitals to Billy Bush in 2005.

She told Cooper when it comes to the women alleging Donald Trump made unwanted sexual contact that she believes her husband and not the women

When Cooper asked if she felt her husband was describing sexual assault, she said it wasn't and that women also behave inappropriately toward her husband all the time.

She even said it happens in front of her.

'It wasn't sexual assault. He didn’t say he did it. And I see many, many women come to him and give him phone numbers and, you know, want to work for him or [sic] unappropriate stuff from women.'

'They know he’s married. It was in front of me, and I said, like, "why you need to give your number to my husband?"'

She told Cooper when it comes to the women alleging Donald Trump made unwanted sexual contact that she believes her husband and not the women, and that this controversy has been a collaboration between the Clintons and the media.

'I believe my husband. I believe my husband. This was all organized from the opposition. And with the details that they got – did they ever check the background of these women? They don’t have any facts,' she said.

Trump told Cooper that allegations in general should be taken seriously but handled in a court of law.

When Cooper asked about Donald Trump talking about women's looks, Trump said it's just a part of who he is but that he still respects women.

'Well that’s him. He’s raw . He’ll say it as he feels it. I know he respects women but he’s defending himself because they’re (lying),' Trump told Cooper.

When it comes to sex scandals, Melania Trump said Bill Clinton's past is fair game, and implied Hillary's campaign was linked to the release of pictures which showed her naked and kissing another woman while she was a model.

It is her first an on-camera interview since her husband was exposed as saying he liked to grab women 'by the p****' on an 11-year old Access Hollywood tape.

Melania, who has been at his side at many of the televised highs of his presidential campaign and spoke at the Republican National Convention, also sat down with Fox & Friends host Ainsley Earnhardt.

She told CNN's Cooper that what had happened on the tape was 'boy talk' which she was not happy about.

'I said to my husband that you know the language was unappropriate [sic],' she told the anchor.

'It's not acceptable and I was surprised, because that is not the man that i know.

'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. Because they were kind of - ah - boy talk.

'And he was led on. Like egg on from the host to say dirty and bad stuff.

'I, I said to my husband that you know the language was unappropriate [sic]. It's not acceptable and I was surprised, because that is not the man that i know.'

Shortly after extracts from the interviews were released by CNN and Fox News, Bush was revealed to have agreed severance from the Today show, where he had moved from his long-running Access Hollywood role two months ago.

He's to blame: Melania Trump said Bill Bush 'egged on' her husband. Bush is involved in severance discussions with NBC in the wake of the leak.

In the Fox interview that is part of the coordinated blitz, Trump got asked whether it was fair for Donald Trump to bring up Bill Clinton's past, as he did by bringing accusers to the debate and in his repeated speeches.

'Well, if they bring up my past, why not?' Trump shot back.

'So they – they're asking for it?' Earnhardt asked.

'They're asking for it. They started.'

Then she apparently referenced publication of racy photos from early in her modeling career.

'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,' she said.

AWKWARD: Cooper posted a photo with Melania Trump on his Instagram page

Asked about the now infamous tape of her husband, Trump responded: 'This is not the man that I know. This is – we could see, as I always said, as my husband said, as well, for a successful businessman, entrepreneur, entertainer to achieving so much in his life, being in so many shows, so many tapes, it's very hard to run for public office.'

'And he did this anyway. He said, I want to help American people. I want to keep America safe. I want to bring back jobs, bring back economy, so our children, our futures will be the best way possible.'

On Thursday, after People magazine reporter Natasha Stoynoff wrote a personal account of what she claims were Trump's efforts to force himself on her during an interview she was conducting with him at Mar-a-Lago in 2005, Melania Trump sent out a letter her lawyer had sent to the magazine demanding a retraction.

The article described Stonyoff as having run into Melania Trump after the interview.

Cooper has interviewed Trump previously during debates. Last week, he asked him about the infamous p**** tape

' The true facts are these: Mrs. Trump did not encounter Ms. Stoynoff on the street, or have any conversation with her. The two are not friends and were never friends or even friendly," her attorney, Charles Harder, wrote in the letter to People.

The businessman apologized after the Washington Post published the tape.

On Friday, t he GOP nominee and his wife went to St Patrick's Cathedral for a private meeting with Archbishop of New York Timothy Cardinal Dolan.

Trump requested the meeting a 'few weeks ago', according to the cardinal's spokesman Joe Zwilling.

CNN teased the event by sending out a photo of the host and Melania Trump seated inside the Trump's gilded Trump Tower apartment. The network pitched the interview as one 'everyone has been waiting for.'

Melania Trump's media blitz comes after the Clinton camp has made hay out of the leaked tape. Hillary Clinton has kept her distance even as she has referenced Trump's treatment on the stump.
