Coming two days after the release of a 2005 tape that recorded Trump talking about how celebrities aggressively pursue women in a sexual manner and with Republicans pulling their support across the country, Trump went on the offensive calling Clinton a liar and "the devil," saying if elected he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate whether she broke laws and countered that Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton actually sexually assaulted women.
