A top adviser to businessman Donald Trump on Monday night told a reporter that “you can’t rape your spouse.”

Trump, who is leading the race for the GOP presidential nomination in several polls, quickly distanced himself from the comments by Michael Cohen, executive vice president at The Trump Organization and a special counsel to Trump. Cohen made the remarks in an interview with the Daily Beast.

“Mr. Trump didn’t know of his comments, but disagrees with him,” a Trump spokesperson told The Hill.

“Mr. Trump speaks for Mr. Trump and nobody but Mr. Trump speaks for him,” a campaign source told CNN on Tuesday.

Another source also emphasized Cohen is employed by the Trump Organization and not his campaign.
