The recording of the 'hot mic' chat between Trump and then Access Hollywood presenter Billy Bush in 2005 was obtained by the Washington Post.
Both men were wearing lapel microphones as they prepared for a taped segment in which Trump, then newly married to wife Melania, would shoot a scene of Trump visiting the set of daytime soap Days Of Our Lives.
The billionaire businessman, presumably unaware that the audio was being recorded, is heard telling Bush about a recent encounter with a woman not his ife, and subsequently identified as Bush's then co-host Nancy O'Dell.
'I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and f*** her,' Trump says in the recording published on Friday. 'And I moved on her very heavily.'
He then brags about how his celebrity status allows him to do 'anything' to women, including grabbing 'them by the p***y.'
