“Make me a soap star”
Investigation
On Friday, October 7, 2016, The Washington Post released a shortened, edited video clip and transcript of an interaction between Donald Trump, Billy Bush, then co-host of Access Hollywood, and Arianne Zucker, that took place in September 2005. In the clip, Donald Trump “bragged in vulgar terms” about his interactions with women. The Grab ‘Em Tapes features a verbatim radio performance of the entire unedited exchange recorded in three iterations:
- Two women talking about a man (FFM)
- Two women talking about a woman (FFF)
- Two men talking about a man (MMM)
Each configuration is available in uncensored and censored formats to accommodate varying comfort levels with the language used in the exchanges.
