1. Melania Trump defends husband’s ‘boy talk’

Melania Trump defended her husband, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, in her first interview since a 2005 recording surfaced in which he boasted about forcibly kissing and groping women. Melania Trump said the “boy talk” was out of character, and that her husband was “egged on” by then-Access Hollywood host Billy Bush to say “bad stuff.” She also rejected accusations by several women who say Donald Trump groped or kissed them without their consent as “lies” orchestrated by the media and the campaign of her husband’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. Billy Bush was formally cut on Monday from NBC’s Today show for his role in the hot-mic tape.
