Donald Trump claims the Clintons have done worse in video apologising for his crude comments

Donald Trump has declared "I was wrong and I apologise" after being caught on tape making vulgar and sexually charged comments about women.

However, the Republican presidential hopeful also defiantly dismissed the revelations as "nothing more than a distraction" from a decade ago, and signalled he would close his presidential campaign by arguing that his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton has committed greater sins against women.
