Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reported late Saturday that the RNC will redirect funds intended to bolster Trump’s campaign to prioritize down-ballot candidates.

But Sean Spicer, the RNC’s chief strategist, went on Twitter to say the Journal’s report is “not true,” calling the reporting “false.”

The Journal said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said the funds will be redirected to House and Senate races for the November election.

The reports come after several high-ranking Republicans attempted to distance themselves from Trump in the wake of the tape leak. At least two dozen Republicans have called on him to step down.

But Trump said that he'll “never” step down, issuing several tweets on Saturday.

The tape features audio of Trump making lewd comments about a married woman, saying that he “moved on her,” and that he “failed.”

“You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait,” he said, The Washington Post reported.
