Donald Trump is a polarizing figure without a doubt. The former President of the United States has a history of saying things on a whim. Most of them are problematic, racist, and misogynistic. But probably the most infamous of them all was caught on the ‘Access Hollywood‘ Tape.
Recently, the legal team of the industrialist turned politician is trying to ban that infamous tape where he is caught using some really problematic and filthy language about women. So let’s find out in detail about that tape and what’s happening these days around it.

The Infamous ‘Access Hollywood’ Tape
On October 2016, just a month before the presidential election, a tape was released of Donald Trump having a conversation with Billy Bush dating back to 2005 where the two are making lewd remarks about women.
The two were on a bus and on their way to shoot an episode for ‘Access Hollywood‘ where Trump talked about seducing married women and bragging about sexually assaulting them. “I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. … Grab ’em by the pu**y. You can do anything,” he said.
It drew strong reactions from the Republicans as well as Democrats and Trump later apologized for his words. However, he tried to distract everyone by saying that Bill Clinton had “said far worse to me on the golf course.“

Donald Trump’s Lawyers Are Trying To Get It Banned
The legal team of the former President is trying to ban that tape from his forthcoming civil rape trial. According to Associate Press, Alina Habba and Michael Madaio, his attorneys have filed papers in Manhattan federal court on Thursday.
They are seeking a ban on the 2005 video and its references from an April trial. It is coming from the claims of E. Jean Carroll who is a columnist. Calling the tape “irrelevant and highly prejudicial”, the two said that it might be used against Trump during the trial.
In November last year, Carroll sued Trump for allegedly raping her in late 1995 and early 1996 in the dressing room of a department store in Manhattan called Bergdorf Goodman. A trial is slated to begin in April this year.
