Trump's lawyer apologizes after mistaken claim about rape
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — An attorney for Republican presidential contender Donald Trump apologized Tuesday for making the incorrect assertion that "by the very definition, you can't rape your spouse."
In a story published Monday night by The Daily Beast website, attorney Michael Cohen was quoted as threatening a reporter with legal action over a story looking into decades-old allegations reportedly made by Trump's first wife, Ivana Trump, during their divorce proceedings.
"I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know," Cohen was quoted as saying by the website, advising the reporter with whom he was speaking to tread very lightly or risk "disgusting" consequences.
