NEW YORK – In background meetings with Trump campaign insiders in New York, WND has learned that the presumptive Republican nominee's counter-attack against the New York Times for its story about his past relationships has only just begun.
The first step, accomplished in the interview Wednesday night with the Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity, was to clearly identify Bill Clinton as a rapist, rebutting Hillary Clinton supporters who have tried to minimize Bill Clinton’s sexual history as “marital infidelity.”
The next shoe to drop will be to spotlight Hillary Clinton’s attacks on her husband's accusers, casting her as an “accomplice after the fact” who victimized a second time women such as Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick.

In an interview with WND, attorney Candice Jackson, author of the acclaimed book “Their Lives: The Women Targeted by the Clinton Machine,” asserted the Paula Jones case is the “Rosetta Stone” of Clinton sex crimes.
Bill Clinton settled Jones' sexual harassment lawsuit in 1999 for $850,000.
“The Paula Jones case makes clear Bill Clinton’s sexual history involves sex crimes, not simply marital infidelity,” Jackson said.
“Equally important, all the women whose testimony or affidavits came out in the Paula Jones case, including statements by Dolly Kyle and Juanita Broaddrick, make clear that Bill Clinton has a more than four-decades long history as a serial sex criminal, stretching back to the reason he was thrown out of Oxford,” Jackson said.
Kyle is the author of a new release by WND Books, "Hillary the Other Woman: A Politial Memoir," which exposes the Clintons' tactics in an account of her decades-long affair with Bill Clinton.
“Since they first started living together, Hillary has acted as Bill Clinton cover-up accomplice, with Hillary following up Bills sexual abuse of the women with abuse of her own,” Jackson said.
“In case after case, the record is clear: Hillary has threatened dozens of Bill Clinton’s sexual abuse victims, with the purpose of silencing these women, or even worse, encouraging them to lie about Bill Clinton’s sexual abuse, or face personal character destruction at the hands of Hillary Clinton’s disinformation attack machine,” she added.
“The Paula Jones case was the first time Bill Clinton was forced to admit the truth of at least some of the allegations against him.”
The National Institute of Justice – the research, development and evaluation agency of the Department of Justice – agrees with Jackson in characterizing actions allegedly carried out by Bill Clinto as criminal.
In a Web page dedicated to “Rape and Sexual Violence,” the National Institute of Justice notes that “sexual violence takes many forms.”
“Sexual harassment ranges from degrading remarks, gestures, and jokes to indecent exposure, being touched, grabbed, pinched, or brushed against in a sexual way,” the National Institute of Justice website notes. “In employment settings, it has been defined as ‘unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct that enters into employment decisions or conduct that unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.’”
Jackson points out that under the Department of Justice’s own definitions, Bill Clinton’s alleged sex crimes would include Kathleen Willey's claim that he molested her in the Oval Office, Paula Jones' charge that he exposed himself to her and Juanita Broaddrick's rape claim.

'Long melodrama and pitched legal battles
On Jan. 20, 2001, the New York Times characterized the last day of Bill Clinton’s presidency as “a stunning end to the long melodrama and pitched legal battles” over his relationship with a White House intern, Monica Lewinsky.
The day before, the head of the Office of Independent Counsel, Robert Ray, who had been investigating whether to charge Clinton with various crimes, including perjury, reached a settlement with Clinton. In it, Clinton agreed he had lied under oath in the Paula Jones sexual misconduct case about his sexual affair with Lewinsky. Clinton accepted a five-year suspension of his law license in exchange for avoiding criminal prosecution.
On Jan. 19, 2001, in Pulaski County, Arkansas, a circuit court judge accepted a $25,000 fine Bill Clinton paid to the Arkansas Bar Association in lieu of disbarment for having lied under oath that he “did not have sex with that woman,” Monica Lewinsky.
Three years earlier, Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to Paula Jones to drop the sexual harassment lawsuit she had pursued after what the Washington Post described as “more than 4 ½ years of scorched-earth legal warfare.”
In response to Hillary’s protestation of poverty upon leaving the White House, the Associated Press reported the Clintons faced legal bills, possibly as high as $10.6 million, incurred defending themselves in the Whitewater affair and the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
The amount did not include the legal expenses the Clintons incurred to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit and to suppress what the media came to characterize as Bill Clinton’s “bimbo eruptions.”
