Witness Trump's newfound interest in the possibility that the "Access Hollywood" tape -- in which he is heard making a series of crude and lewd remarks about women to TV anchor Billy Bush -- might be a fake. Then on Monday night, Maggie Haberman, one of the reporters who wrote the original Times story, told CNN that a third person had confirmed to her that Trump was skeptical that the "Access Hollywood" tape was real. And, on Monday night, "Access Hollywood" reiterated that the tape was 100% genuineAll of which makes Trump's reported skepticism very, very odd. My conclusion (I think) is that what she was sort-of trying to say is that Trump is questioning The New York Times report that he is skeptical about the genuineness of the "Access Hollywood" tape. If Trump doesn't believe the "Access Hollywood" tape is a fake, then we need to hear that too.
