The Women Who Accuse Bill Clinton Of Raping Them
Who are Bill Clinton's accusers who appeared with Trump?
Mr Trump appears with four women who rail against the Clintons before the second presidential debate
The Republican nominee appeared on Facebook Live with three women who have accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual assault.
A fourth woman, who was a child victim in a sexual assault case Mrs. Clinton defended during her legal career, also spoke at the brief news conference.
"These four very courageous women have asked to be here and it was our honour to help them," Mr Trump said as he introduced the women.
The women also joined Mr Trump's family inside the debate hall in what some pundits say was an attempt to intimidate Mrs Clinton.
Mr Clinton has never faced any criminal charges in connection to the allegations, but what are the accusations?
Paula Jones
The former Arkansas state employee sued Mr Clinton for sexual harassment in 1994, claiming that he propositioned her and exposed himself in a hotel room while serving as governor in 1991.
A federal judge threw out the lawsuit in 1998, but Ms Jones appealed against the ruling and settled with Mr Clinton for $850,000 without an admission of guilt
However, Ms Jones' lawsuit subsequently led to Mr Clinton's impeachment in 1998 due to a deposition he gave in that case.
He denied having sexual relations with White House intern Monica Lewinsky during that deposition.
At the press conference prior to the presidential debate, a reporter asked Mr Trump if his star power allowed him to grope women without their consent. Ms Jones fired back: "Why don't you go ask Bill Clinton that? Why don't you ask Hillary as well?"
Juanita Broaddrick
The nursing home administrator claimed Mr Clinton raped her in an Arkansas hotel room in 1978 and Mrs Clinton helped him conceal it.
"Mr Trump may have said some bad words, but Bill Clinton raped me and Hillary Clinton threatened me. I don't think there's any comparison", she said during the news conference on Sunday, referring to the New York businessman's sex boast tape.
Ms Broaddrick served as a volunteer on Mr Clinton's first gubernatorial campaign.
The former president has denied the allegation through a lawyer and no charges were ever filed.
She spoke out in 1999 during an investigation of Mr Clinton by the independent counsel Kenneth Starr, recanting sworn testimony a year earlier stating the incident never happened.
Over the weekend, Mr Trump tweeted an interview Ms Broaddrick gave to right-wing website Breitbart, in which she alleged that Mrs Clinton thanked her for her silence at a political rally.
Trembling, Broaddrick explained that she is still afraid of Bill Clinton and asserted that she is frightened by the prospect of Hillary Clinton winning the election. She described the alleged rape in vivid detail, providing the most extensive window yet into the singular event that she says left her traumatized until today.
In one dramatic scene, a sobbing Broaddrick was embraced and consoled by another alleged Clinton sexual assault victim, Kathleen Willey, who was present for the filming.
Willey tells the crying Broaddrick: “It’s not your fault. Okay. It’s not your fault. It’s not your fault. You didn’t do anything wrong. You didn’t do anything wrong. Okay. Okay?”
While the news media shifted focus to Trump’s lewd sexual banter caught on a hot mic in 2005, Broaddrick and Willey were in our nation’s capital to discuss how their lives were devastated by their respective experiences with the Clintons. They also emphatically warned about what a Hillary Clinton presidency could mean for women in general–the Clintons’ perceived enemies in particular.

Kathleen Willey
The former White House aide alleged Mr Clinton groped her in his office in 1993, but had previously said it never happened.
Ms Willey said she had met with the former president to ask for a paying job to help with her family's financial struggles.
Mr Clinton has also denied this claim and the Office of Independent Counsel found her allegations inconclusive.
"I think we can bring peace to this world, and I think Donald Trump can lead us to that point," she said at the news conference.
Kathy Shelton
Ms Shelton was the 12-year-old victim in a sexual assault case Mrs Clinton was appointed to early in her legal profession.
Mrs Clinton was the attorney for a factory worker accused of raping Ms Shelton, despite her objections over the case.
In audio recordings from the mid-1980s of an interview Mrs Clinton had with an Arkansas reporter, the current Democratic nominee is heard laughing while discussing the trial, including this instance when she says: "Of course he [the defendant] claimed he didn't [rape her]… He took a lie detector test. I had him take a polygraph, which he passed, which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs."
Ms Shelton's attacker ultimately admitted a reduced charge, and she has since said Mrs Clinton put "me through hell".

) Trump never publicly spoke like that. A person should be able to freely say whatever they like in private without being condemned for the language they use with another adult in private.
