Hillary Clinton dismisses Trump attacks against Bill: ‘Let the voters judge’

Hillary Clinton on Sunday dismissed Donald Trump’s disparagement of her husband, the former president Bill Clinton, saying the personal attacks “didn’t work before, won’t work again”.

The Democratic frontrunner for president said Republicans had repeatedly tried to uncover a scandal in her family, alluding to her husband’s admitted affair and the inquiries into her handling of a personal email server and a 2012 attack in Benghazi while she was secretary of state.

“If [Trump] wants to engage in personal attacks from the past, that is his prerogative,” she said in an interview on CBS’ Face the Nation. “You know, so be it.”

Trump, who is leading Republican polls around most of the country, has responded to the former president’s presence on the campaign trail by recalling questions about him and other women. On Sunday Trump called the former president “an abuser”, during an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press.

“A woman claimed rape, and all sorts of things,” Trump said. “I mean, horrible things.”

Himself twice divorced, Trump said his own marital dramas did not compare to those of the Clinton family.

Ex-Wife: Donald Trump Made Me Feel ‘Violated’ During Sex Donald Trump Raped his wife.....

Not only does the current frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination have a history of controversial remarks about sexual assault, but as it turns out, his ex-wife Ivana Trump once used “rape” to describe an incident between them in 1989. She later said she felt “violated” by the experience.

Michael Cohen, special counsel at The Trump Organization, defended his boss, saying, “You’re talking about the frontrunner for the GOP, presidential candidate, as well as a private individual who never raped anybody. And, of course, understand that by the very definition, you can’t rape your spouse.”

“It is true,” Cohen added. “You cannot rape your spouse. And there’s very clear case law.”

Ivana Trump’s assertion of “rape” came in a deposition—part of the early ’90s divorce case between the Trumps, and revealed in the 1993 book Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump.

Not to mention that memories grow hazy. I think camp Hillary is worried about it.

They're right to be.
