Trump opens up about the one thing he won't use against Clinton

Several women who claim to have been victims of former President Bill Clinton's sexual exploits say they're interested in showing up to Sunday night's presidential debate, but Donald Trump doesn't plan on helping them get there.

After last week's debate at Hofstra University, the Republican nominee signaled he might bring up the former president's extramarital affairs when Trump faces off with Hillary Clinton for the second time this weekend.

But on Wednesday, he told The New York Post that his focus will be elsewhere.

"I want to win this election on my policies for the future, not on Bill Clinton's past," Trump told Page Six in an email. "Jobs, trade, ending illegal immigration, veteran care, and strengthening our military is what I really want to be talking about."

That comes as a disappointment to Candice Jackson, the attorney who represents Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones and Dolly Kyle, women who have accused Bill Clinton of inappropriate sexual advances. Broaddrick claims Clinton raped her, an accusation the former president has denied. Willey and Jones both claim they were sexually assaulted, and Kyle alleged she had an affair with Clinton.

Jackson told Page Six she wanted to put at least one of the women in the front row at Washington University in the hope it would disrupt Hillary Clinton at the debate.

Although fundraising efforts are underway to help the women travel to St. Louis, Jackson said "we don't think we can get more than one ticket" into the debate hall.

Before the first debate last Monday, Trump hinted he might bring Gennifer Flowers, with whom Bill Clinton admitted to having a sexual encounter with in 1977, to the first debate, but ultimately never extended the invitation.

"Gennifer was willing to go and wanted to go, but never got a ticket," Jackson told Page Six. "Trump talked about having her there, but there was no follow-through."

Trump and his team applauded his "restraint" for not trying to hit Hillary Clinton with her husband's affairs on stage, but over the next week, Trump's campaign circulated a memo encouraging surrogates to bring up Bill Clinton's infidelities.

But the strategy is one that analysts say could do more harm to Trump than his opponent: Americans tend to become more sympathetic towards Hillary Clinton when reminded of Bill Clinton's infidelities, while Trump has his own problematic marital history.

The thrice-married businessman cheated on his first wife Ivana with Marla Maples, who became his second wife. During their divorce, Ivana Trump said under oath he had "raped" her, but she did not "want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense." While married to Maples, Trump met Slovenian model Melanija Knavs, then called Melania Knauss, to whom he is currently married.

A woman going by the pseudonym Katie Johnson has also filed a lawsuit against Trump in New York last week, claiming she was lured by billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein to a party in 1994, where she claims Trump raped her, when she was just 13 years old.
