On Friday, CNN's Erin Burnett told a story about a long-time friend who claims that Donald Trump tried to kiss her in 2010.


The fallout for Donald Trump continues in the wake of a released tape where he can be heard making sexually inappropriate comments about women. 
On Friday, CNN's Erin Burnett told a story about a long-time friend who claims that the businessman tried to kiss her in 2010. 
The host read from a statement by her friend, saying, “Trump took Tic Tacs, suggested I take them also. He then leaned in...catching me off guard, and kissed me almost on the lips. I was really freaked out. After Trump asked me to come into his office alone. I figured I could handle myself. Anyway, once in his office he kept telling me how special I am and gave me his cell phone and asked me to call him. I ran the hell out of there.” 
The recording of Trump reportedly resonated with the friend, as he can be heard referencing the need for Tic Tacs in advance of meeting and possibly kissing a certain actress. 
He has also been quoted as saying in the tape, “I’m automatically attracted to beautiful [women]. I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.” 
CNN is reporting that a witness has confirmed the exchange between Burnett's friend and Trump who was married at the time.
