SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8
The US presidential election is on the brink of chaos and disarray, after a day on which tapes were released of Donald Trump bragging about his ability to molest women because of his fame — hours after Wikileaks released thousands of files that are claimed to be drafts of corporate speeches by Hillary Clinton, in which she says that “you need a public position and a private position” on social policy.
The Trump tape has all but driven the Wikileaks releases from the news cycle. Released by The Washington Post, to which it was leaked, it’s a 20-minute or so video recorded by Access Hollywood in 2005, when Trump was arriving at the NBC studios to record a cameo role on Days of Our Lives.
