Read: A Brief History of Donald Trump and the Mafia
On Wednesday evening, Donald Trump was on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show to chat about the general election, potential Supreme Court justices, and how former president Bill Clinton was once accused of rape, as Politico reports.

The pair were discussing the New York Times article published over the weekend citing women who said Trump made inappropriate sexual comments and advances over the past few decades. (The article also cited women who said he was a good guy who advanced their careers.)
“I looked at the New York Times,” Hannity said. “Are they going to interview Juanita Broaddrick? Are they going to interview Paula Jones? Are they going to interview Kathleen Willey?” He was referring to three women who have accused the former president of unwanted sexual advances and/or assault.
“In one case,” Hannity continued, “it’s about exposure. In another case, it’s about groping and fondling and touching against a woman’s will.”
“And rape,” Trump said, matter-of-factly.
“And rape,” Hannity repeated.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign responded quickly to Trump’s comment, saying the presumptive GOP nominee “is doing what he does best, attacking when he feels wounded, and dragging the American people through the mud for his own gain… If that’s the kind of campaign he wants to run that’s his choice. Hillary Clinton is running a campaign to be president for all of America.”
