The October 9, 2016 debate, moderated by source, has sparked discussions following revelations made by Hope Hicks. Hicks disclosed that the infamous 'Access Hollywood' tape was one of the first questions raised during the debate. This tape, which captured Donald Trump making lewd comments about women, became a focal point of the discussion.
Post-debate, Hicks acknowledged the existence of reports concerning Trump's behavior towards women. The scrutiny surrounding Trump's conduct with women intensified after the debate, with Hicks confirming that she was contacted by The New York Times the night following the event.
However, Hicks' attempt to elaborate on the nature of the contact was halted by prosecutor Matthew Colangelo. The intervention prevented Hicks from providing further details about the interaction with The New York Times.
