WASHINGTON, DC — A new video of Donald Trump discussing his controversial comments about Mexicans and other Latinos earlier this year at a law office in D.C. went public early Friday afternoon, further shaking up an already wild presidential race. The video was released as the Republican presidential nominee is defending himself from claims he once used "Miss Housekeeping," among other insults, while speaking to former beauty queen Alicia Machado.

The video shows testimony Trump gave at a law office in June as part of an ongoing legal battle that started when the Republican presidential nominee sued two prominent chefs — José Andrés and Geoffrey Zakarian — who pulled out of plans to open restaurants at Trump's new D.C. hotel after hearing his controversial remarks about Latinos, according to the court filing. In the video, Trump suggests his comments about Mexican immigrants in his campaign announcement were premeditated. In the press conference at the Trump Tower in June 2015, Trump said, "They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

BuzzFeed has a copy of Trump's video deposition, as one of the media outlets included in the lawsuit demanding its release. D.C. Superior Court Judge Brian Holeman issued an order on Thursday that stated while he was afraid the video would be used in campaign commercials, the video, by law, should be released to the public.

"This Court finds that Plaintiff has not demonstrated that any subject video deposition contains scandalous, libelous, or other unduly prejudicial material warranting denial of media access," Holeman wrote. "The public shall not be held captive by the suggested eventuality of partisan editing in a manner unfavorable to Plaintiff or the deponents." A transcript of the testimony has already been made public.

"So it's not like, you know, like I've said anything that could be so bad," Trump said in the deposition in June. "Because if I said something that was so bad, they wouldn't have had me go through all of these people and win all of these primary races."

This particular suit involves Geoffrey Zakarian, a restaurateur who also plays a starring role on the popular Food Network show "Chopped" as one of the regular judges.
