And here's the statement from Trump:
"This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago," the statement on his campaign website read, responding to the insistence that he can do anything to women, including grabbing their private parts. "Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course -- not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended."

He did not apologize for saying that he has license to sexually assault women because he is "a star." He only apologized if discussing his that license offended anyone.
That did not stop the Associated Press and the BBC from calling the statement the first actual apology of Trump's insult-ridden campaign.
