Inside Trump Tower Friday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump recorded a video message and planned to release it after he was caught by an unflattering and damaging video clip from 11 years ago.

Trump will use this scripted video message to further address his controversial lewd comments about women recorded on a hot mic.

Sources told NBC News that various advisers and senior campaign officials argued to the candidate that Trump should go beyond his initial written statement in an effort to more clearly apologize for his words in advance of Sunday's debate.

In the video message, Trump is expected to acknowledge that he is not perfect and convey that he is in fact sorry and humbled. The strategic hope is that he can turn back toward issues in the campaign and commit to working harder on behalf of voters.
