Former President George H.W. Bush has apologized to an actress who accused him of improperly touching her and telling a dirty joke during a photo opportunity four years ago.
“President Bush would never — under any circumstance — intentionally cause anyone distress, and he most sincerely apologizes if his attempt at humor offended Ms. Lind,” Bush spokesman Jim McGrath said in a written statement to USA Today.
Heather Lind, an actress who stars in the AMC series Turn: Washington’s’ Spies, described the incident in a since-deleted Instagram post.
