Recently released texts between two individuals have shed light on conversations that took place following the leak of the infamous 'Access Hollywood' tape in 2016. The tape, recorded in 2005, was made public by The Washington Post on October 7, 2016, just weeks before the presidential election.
In the text exchange, one individual, identified as Cohen, mentioned receiving numerous calls from press contacts after the release of the tape, which he described as 'quite damaging.' The conversation then shifted to a discussion with the other individual, Cuomo, on October 8, 2016.
During the exchange, Cuomo asked Cohen if he would defend someone, to which Cohen responded that he was in London and had been approached to appear on shows starting the following Tuesday. Cuomo expressed concern, stating that it would be too late and that the person in question was 'dying right now.'
When asked to clarify his statement, Cuomo explained that the situation was a 'tremendously negative story in regard to the Trump campaign.' The texts provide insight into the behind-the-scenes conversations and reactions to the fallout from the 'Access Hollywood' tape.
