Bill Clinton accusers slam him, Hillary Clinton on Sean Hannity
Three women who have accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual assault shared their stories Thursday and blasted Hillary Clinton in an interview on Fox News.
Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey appeared on Sean Hannity’s primetime show.
Broaddrick, who alleges that the former president raped her in 1978 when he served as attorney general or Arkansas, said that she ran into Hillary Clinton a few weeks after the alleged attack.
“She comes straight to me and says to me, big smile, very pleasant voice, says to me, ‘I’m Hillary Clinton. It’s so nice to meet you. I just want to thank you for everything that you do for Bill’s campaign,’” Broaddrick said, according to Fox News.
She then claimed that Clinton then grabbed her arm: “I felt like at that moment, she knew everything and was saying, ‘You better keep quiet,’” she told Hannity.
Jones claims that Clinton sexually harassed her in 1991 when he served as governor of the state. She said he told her to keep quiet.
“He said, ‘You’re a smart girl, let’s keep this between ourselves,’” Jone said.
Willey was a White House aide in 1993 when she accused Clinton of making unwanted sexual advances.
“Everybody is calling Bill Clinton’s crimes infidelities,” she said on Fox. “Rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment...are not infidelities. They are crimes and misdemeanors.”
Clinton settled Jones’ lawsuit in 1998 for $850,000 settlement no admission of guilt or apology. In the Willey case, an Independent Counsel concluded, “There was insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that President Clinton’s testimony regarding Kathleen Willey was false,” so he declined to prosecute. And with Broaddrick, she told several friends about the attack, but Clinton has denied raping her and no charges were ever brought.
This comes a few days after the second presidential debate, which the women attended after being invited by Trump. His campaign tried to get them seats in the GOP presidential nominee’s V.I.P. box, but the Commission on Presidential Debates thwarted that, campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told “CBS This Morning” on Monday.
Before the debate, the women delivered statements sitting alongside Trump. Another woman, Kathy Shelton, was part of the group. When she was a young girl, she was allegedly raped by a 41-year-old man in Arkansas. Hillary Clinton defended the man, Thomas Taylor, in court in 1975, after being ordered to do so by a judge.
The interviews on Fox came amid new reports about Trump’s own questionable behavior toward women, including his lewd comments from 2005, a report from The New York Times in which two women claimed he touched them inappropriately, and his comment from a video that just surfaced in which he told a 10-year-old girl he would be dating her in 10 years.
