SCOTTIE NELL HUGHES: I would have a lot more credibility with these [tapes of Trump] Don if they were brought out months ago instead of 32, 33 days before the election. This just shows how this is politically motivated. These information -- all of these stories, everything -- they didn't happen yesterday. They didn't happen last week.

HUGHES: Well like I said, I would put more credibility -- and even in the stories you pointed out, this woman was supposedly sexually harassed, was actually thrown down, whatever the story that goes along with it, horrible, deplorable things. However, she dated him afterwards for whatever reason, whatever excuse she gives.
