Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump apologized for vulgar language he used about groping and kissing women in  a 2005 video that surfaced Friday.

"I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize," Trump said in a filmed statement  several hours after The Washington Post released a shocking video of Trump  offensively bragging about grabbing women and pursuing sex with them with  impunity.

"I pledge to be a better man tomorrow," he said. But he added that former  president Bill Clinton, the husband of the Democratic nominee, "actually abused  women" and that Hillary Clinton bullied her husband's victims. (AFP)
