Il 7 ottobre 2016 il Washington Post rese pubblico un videotape che fu originalmente prodotto dalla rete NBC nel 2005
per il programma "Access Hollywood".
In quel video di circa 3 minuti Donal Trump (audio registrato su un autobus) parlo in modo volgare (con l'attore Billy Bush) di cose sessiste sulle donne.
Nel video si sente Trump dire a Bush che le donne si lascerebbero «fare tutto quello che vuoi» da un personaggio famoso come lui, e parlare di afferrare le donne «dalla figa». Trump fu forzato di ammettere che era lui nel pullman che disse quelle cose, ma erano "chiacchere che gente fa nello spogliatoio (locker room talk) (piu tardi DT cerco di affermare che il video/audio fu taroccato in qualche modo, mentre Billy Bush affermo' che era tutto vero e autentico).
NBC disse a quel tempo che aveva appena scoperto l'esistenza di quella registrazione e che stava per pubblicarlo.
Ma non fu la NBC a pubblicarlo ma il Washington Post.
Oggi viene rivelato che nel "raid" di lunedi scorso, l'FBI cercava (da Michael Cohen) documenti e informazioni sullo scandalo Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal, e anche sul video di "Access Hollywood". Non e' chiaro l'implicazione di Cohen nel dossier di "Access Hollywood", ma si presume e sospetta che Cohen puo darsi cercava a quel tempo di sopprimere l'esistenza e la publicazione di quel video(poco tempo prime delle elezioni presidenziali).
Ora tutti si chiedono da quanto tempo certi personaggi della direzione di NBC erano a conoscenza di quel video, cosa hanno fatto, perche c'e stata una "soffiata" del Washington Post per rebnderlo pubblico?
Certo che Cohen e Trump non dormano tabnto bene da qualche giorno....E se Cohen vuota il sacco per le cose che ha fatto per DT....
https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/11/politics ... index.html(CNN) — FBI agents who raided the home, office and hotel of Donald Trump's personal lawyer sought communications that Trump had with attorney Michael Cohen and others regarding the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape that captured Trump making lewd remarks about women a month before the election, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The warrant's specific reference to Trump is the first known direct mention of the President in a search warrant, and sources said it appeared in connection with "Access Hollywood."
One of the sources said the warrant also referenced an investigation into wire fraud and bank fraud. CNN previously reported FBI agents removed Cohen's computer, cell phone, business files and financial documents, according to the source.
The search warrant also sought communications between then-candidate Trump and his associates regarding efforts to prevent disclosure of the tape, according to one of the sources. In addition, investigators wanted records and communications concerning other potential negative information about the candidate that the campaign would have wanted to contain ahead of the election. The source said the warrant was not specific about what this additional information would be.
The warrant is the first indication that investigators suspect there was any effort to suppress the tape. It is not clear Cohen played any role in the Access Hollywood controversy.
Another source familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN that agents sought information regarding the Access Hollywood tape, as The New York Times first reported.
An attorney for Cohen didn't respond immediately to request for comment. Cohen's attorney has said the search was carried out on behalf of the US attorney's office in Manhattan in part because of a referral from special counsel Robert Mueller.
Stormy Daniels cooperating with federal investigators following Cohen raid
The warrant itself also tracks very closely to information already known about efforts by Trump's team to suppress negative information about Stormy Daniels, a porn star who alleges a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, and Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model who says she had an affair with Trump between 2006 and 2007, the source said. There were no other women beyond Daniels and McDougal named in the warrant in regard to the President, the source said.
Three sources with knowledge believe that the information sought was not just to target Cohen but was also clearly aimed at discovering what Trump knew, if anything, about these efforts and any potential involvement he may have had in keeping the information from going public.
Trump has denied relationships with both Daniels and McDougal.
A source with knowledge of the matter said NBCUniversal, which produces "Access," has not been contacted by Mueller's office or the Southern District of New York. There has been no subpoena, the source said.
An NBC spokesman declined to comment.
The circumstances of the leaked Access Hollywood tape remain something of a mystery. NBC has long held that it was about to broadcast the tape when The Washington Post obtained and published it.
