Donald Trump, 70, is being accused of having sexually abused several women, which include his first wife Ivana Trump, 67. Ivana is a former model and the mother of Ivanka Trump, 34.
According to "Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump" author Harry Hurt III, Ivana told her closest friends about a violent episode when Donald raped her. However, she clarified that she referred to it as rape but she wanted her words to be interpreted neither literally nor in a criminal sense.
In a statement obtained by CNN, Ivana emphasized that she and Donald are in good terms. She said, "Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised three children that we love and are very proud of."
"I have nothing but fondness for Donald and wish him the best of luck on his campaign," Ivana added. "Incidentally, I think he would make an incredible president."
Aside from Ivanka, Donald and Ivana also have two sons. They are Donald Trump Jr., 38, and Eric Trump, 32.
Hillary Clinton's opponent was speaking to his supporters in West Palm Beach, Florida on Oct. 13, Thursday, when he criticized the women accusing him of sexually abuse. The Republican candidate described the accusers as horrible liars.
The former "The Celebrity Apprentice" host added that the sexual abuse claims are "all fabricated," "pure fiction," and "outright lies," New York Daily News quoted him as saying. He added that the allegations are events that "never, ever happened."
"The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah recently compared the Republican candidate with Bill Cosby. Both Clinton's opponent and Cosby have been accused by several women of sexual abuse that allegedly took place years ago.
"The difference was he's Bill Cosby because before his victims came forward, Cosby hadn't spent his entire career bragging about what he had done," Noah said. "He wasn't doing that. Trump was."
