Trump lawyer: ‘Impossible’ to rape your spouse

Donald Trump was battling a PR disaster after his lawyer claimed it was impossible to rape a spouse by the “very definition” of marriage.

The controversy began when Trump’s presidential-campaign team fired back after The Daily Beast published an explosive story highlighting decades-old comments Trump’s first wife, Ivana, made in which she used the word “rape” to describe one of their sexual encounters.

Michael Cohen, special counsel at The Trump Organisation, responded by saying it was impossible to rape your spouse by the “very definition” of marriage.
