“I was with Ivanka yesterday; I’m with Melania now,” Trump told the Wall Street Journal. “They fully understand, and they’re very loyal.”

In the 2005 audio recordings posted Friday by The Washington Post, Trump can be heard talking about groping and kissing women aggressively. The 2005 comments came months after he married Melania, his third and current wife.

The remarks have prompted mass defections of Trump’s GOP lawmaker supporters and harsh condemnations from Republican leadership.
