Republican White House hopeful
Donald Trump has accused former president Bill Clinton of "rape,"
ramping up the attacks on the husband of his expected rival for the presidency
at a time when his own conduct with women is under scrutiny.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump said the allegations of sexual misconduct that have dogged Clinton for decades were far worse than claims aired by The New York Times that the real estate mogul has a past of harassing women.
"It's not like the worst thing," Trump, the GOP's presumptive presidential nominee, said late Wednesday of what he called the "minor stuff" he has done, including kissing a model on the lips.
"OK, you look at what Clinton has gone through with all of the problems and all of the things that he's done," Trump told Fox's Sean Hannity.

The reporter then wondered to
Trump whether the Times would interview women who in the past had accused
Clinton of sexual assault or unwanted advances.
"In one case, it's about exposure. In another case, it's about groping and fondling and touching against a woman's will," Hannity said.
"And rape," Trump added.
