  11. Reality Check: Clinton's reaction to rape trialpublished at 03:28 British Summer Time 10 October 2016

    Graphic showing a quote from Donald Trump attacking Hillary Clinton

    Claim: Donald Trump attacks Hillary Clinton over her record on defending women's rights

    Reality Check verdict: It would be a stretch to say Clinton was laughing at the victim. Trump was referring to a case from the mid-1980s, when she was working as a lawyer, She defended a factory worker accused of raping a 12-year-old girl. In unpublished audio recordings of an interview she had with an Arkansas reporter, she is heard laughing four times while discussing the trial. In one instance 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”. Clinton and the reporter are then heard laughing. The accused ultimately admitted a reduced charge and the victim has since said Clinton put “me through hell”.

  12. Trump on Twitterpublished at 03:27 British Summer Time 10 October 2016

    Moderator Cooper presses Trump about his early hours Twitter rant against former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, saying is that the discipline of a president? 

    Trump again deflects and begins talking about Clinton and Benghazi. 

    When pressed about his tweet referencing a sex tape, Trump said that was not all what he said. But his tweet in fact directed supporters to do just that.

    "Tweeting happens to be a modern-day form of communication,” he says.

    "I'm not unproud of it," he says.
