WASHINGTON (TIP): Did US Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump apologize to his wife after revelations he was involved in sexual assault ? His wife Melania said he did+ . Today, at the third and final US Presidential debate, Trump said he didn’t.

“I would say the only way — because those stories are all totally false, I have to say that. And I didn’t even apologize to my wife, who’s sitting right here, because I didn’t do anything. I didn’t know any of these — I didn’t see these women,” Trump averred.

Here’s what his wife said on Tuesday to TV show “Fox & Friends” host Ainsley Earhardt – “Those words, they were offensive to me and they were inappropriate… And he apologized to me. And I expect — I accept his apology. And we are moving on.”

Today’s debate host, Fox News’s Chris Wallace, said that since the release of an 11-year-old tape, in which the Republican candidate boasted about groping women+ , nine women have come forward and have said that he “either groped them or kissed them without their consent.”

Trump denied their charges.

” These women — the woman on the plane, the — I think they want either fame or her campaign did it. And I think it’s her campaign. Because what I saw what they did, which is a criminal act, by the way, where they’re telling people to go out and start fist-fights and start violence,” he said referring to opponent Hillary Clinton.

Trump’s denial didn’t help him, because Clinton used the opportunity to talk about other nasty comments he has made.

“At the last debate, we heard Donald talking about what he did to women.

And after that, a number of women have come forward saying that’s exactly what he did to them. Now, what was his response? Well, he held a number of big rallies where he said that he could not possibly have done those things to those women because they were not attractive enough for them to be assaulted,” Clinton said.
