Donald Trump Holds Desperate Facebook Live Press Event with Bill Clinton Accusers: WATCH
Donald Trump Holds Desperate Facebook Live Press Event with Bill Clinton Accusers: WATCH
Desperate to steer the conversation away from his downward-spiraling presidential campaign and his disparaging remarks toward women, Donald Trump held a press event 90 minutes before tonight’s debate with three women who have accused Bill Clinton of sexual abuse in the past: Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick. Also on the panel was Kathy Shelton, who denounced Hillary Clinton for representing her rapist in court in the ’70s.
Little of substance was said at the press conference that we have not already heard other than the women making brief statements in support of Trump.
Watch:
The four women are reportedly going to be sitting in the debate hall:
Source confirms Willey, Broaddrick, Jones as well as Shelton in debate hall. The women who’ve accused Bill Clinton may also be in spin room

We agree @HillaryClinton. Does that go for Juanita, Kathleen, Kathy and Paula? If so, acknowledge them from the stage tonight. #girlpower t.co/hqvij2DPjA

Some additional reactions to the stunt:
The goal has clearly shifted from winning the election to imposing maximum humiliation on Hillary Clinton.

Watch LIVE: The Second 2016 Presidential Debate Between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump
From Washington University in St. Louis, the second 2016 presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, moderated by ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper, begins at 9 pm ET.
The first questions at the debate will focus on the 2005 tape which emerged Friday night in which Trump makes vulgar remarks and brags about sexually assaulting women, CNN reports:
While everything is subject to change until air time, an ABC source said — perhaps confirming the obvious — that Trump and Clinton will both be prompted to address the matter.
A coin toss by the Commission on Presidential Debates determined that Clinton will speak first.
While the debates are hosted by the commission, not the television networks, Raddatz and Cooper have been in debate prep with producers from their respective networks.
The gender dynamics — a man and a woman moderating together while another man and woman face off in a town hall format — will be unmissable.
The debate will be in a town hall format, where audience members ask questions which the co-moderators will follow up with questions of their own and try to create interaction between the candidates.
Town halls can be treacherous in ways typical debates are not. The candidates have to interact directly with voters in the audience, showing them respect, paying attention to their questions, and seeking a direct connection obvious to viewers at home. Mrs. Clinton is practiced at these maneuvers. Mr. Trump has a tendency to disappear into his own verbal fog, to ignore the question entirely and to fail to give an actual answer.
And if an audience member drills into sensitive territory — such as the 2005 recording — there is always the danger of an explosive and dismissive response.
…Mrs. Clinton will no doubt arrive in St. Louis equipped with a fresh pail of chum to throw in the waters around Mr. Trump, determined to whip him into a frenzy. She will needle him over revelations of the scale of his tax avoidance. She will cite the array of attacks on him from his own party this weekend. To achieve anything resembling a victory, Mr. Trump will need to turn up his nose and focus on the most compelling parts of his own message: trade, the threat of Islamic militants, and the creation of jobs.
Please let us know your thoughts about the debate in the comments.

Trump Allegedly Uses N-Word in Unseen ‘Apprentice’ Footage
Trump Allegedly Uses N-Word in Unseen ‘Apprentice’ Footage
Shortly after the Friday night leak of Donald Trump making vulgar remarks to Billy Bush about women, former Apprentice producer Bill Pruitt tweeted that recordings exist of Trump saying “far worse.”
As a producer on seasons 1 & 2 of #theapprentice I assure you: when it comes to the #trumptapes there are far worse. #justthebegininng
— Bill Pruitt (@billpruitt) October 8, 2016
Today, producer Chris Nee tweeted that when she worked for Apprentice producer Mark Burnett she signed a contract that contained a $5 million penalty for releasing footage without authorization.

She also talked about what she has heard are on the tapes:
@mcuban the price is 5 million to cover the penalty fee. And we all get to hear him use the N word from what I hear t.co/IsmJvHHL1K
— Chris Nee (@chrisdocnee) October 9, 2016
I don’t have the tapes. I’ve signed a Burnett contract & know leak fee is 5 mill. Hearing from producers/crew N word is the “much worse”.
— Chris Nee (@chrisdocnee) October 9, 2016
Burnett, a Trump ally, is more than aware that any potentially damaging footage is in big demand and has been threatening those who might leak it, Buzzfeed News reports:
A powerful Hollywood ally of Donald Trump has threatened staffers who could release potentially damaging outtakes of the show, a source close to Mark Burnett told BuzzFeed News.
Burnett, the producer of The Apprentice, and his production company have not responded to requests for comment from BuzzFeed News and many other outlets since grotesque outtakes from another show rocked Trump’s campaign Friday, even as former staffers have suggested on Twitter (without clear evidence) that The Apprentice material could be just as damaging.
But the person familiar with Burnett’s thinking told BuzzFeed News that the producer is backing his star.
Burnett “is pro-Trump and has made clear to his teams that he will sue anyone who leaks,” the person said.
.@MarkBurnettTV why are you threatening/silencing your staff to protect @realDonaldTrump Bully to bully. afraid of truth and freedom

Earlier this month we reported on an AP investigation of more than 20 people connected with Donald Trump’s Apprentice franchise reveals that Trump regularly demeaned women sexually behind the scenes on the show.
The AP quoted one former crew member’s specific story:
“We were in the boardroom one time figuring out who to blame for the task, and he just stopped in the middle and pointed to someone and said, ‘You’d f–k her, wouldn’t you? I’d f–k her. C’mon, wouldn’t you?’ Everyone is trying to make him stop talking, and the woman is shrinking in her seat.”
