During Donald Trump's campaign, a controversial moment arose when the 'Access Hollywood' tape was released, prompting the campaign to enter into 'damage control mode.' Initially, the campaign described the content of the tape as 'locker room talk,' according to Prosecutor Matthew Colangelo.
Colangelo revealed that insiders within Trump's campaign were alarmed by the video capturing Trump's words. The release of the tape led to concerns and efforts within the campaign to mitigate any potential fallout from the public revelation of the recorded conversation.
