## Transcript

[ NOISE ] As a candidate, Donald Trump had a few simple but powerful tag lines. Hillary Clinton was under investigation. Bill Clinton had an unsavory history with women. And his own accusers would be sued for liable. Now that he's president, Trump is seeing those lines used against him. On the trail, Trump often talked about the FB investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private e- mail server as a Secretary of State. She'll be under investigation for years, she'll be with trials. Now that he's President, Trump is dealing with FBI investigations of his own and his critics are more than happy to bring them up.

Four campaign operatives have been indicted as a result. And reports even link Trump's family to Russian operatives. If the investigation continues without interference, more arrests are almost certainly forthcoming. Trump's response, the investigation Are- Witch hunt, witch hunt, witch hunt, witch hunt, witch hunt, the witch hunt continues. Before a presidential debate, Trump held a surprise news conference with women who have accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault or harrassment. These four very courageous women have asked to be here and it was our honor to help them. Now that he's President, Trump has faced claims from a former Playboy Playmate and a pron star that they had affairs with him that were hushed up.

And insinuations that more women are out there. Six other women have come to you saying that they have similar stories to Miss Daniels involving Donald Trump. Trump's response the claim is a total con job. [ MUSIC ] As a candidate, Trump pledged to open up libel laws to allow him to sue news organizations, and threatened to sue women who accused him of harassment. Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over. He never sued. In fact, one of the women, Summer Zervos, sued him for defamation and others have threatened lawsuits.

Trump's lawyers responded by arguing that he is too busy and important for civil lawsuits like this. As an outsider who would never run for office, Trump used these attack lines because they're simple, brutal and effective. But now that he's on the inside he can't stop them from being used against him. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ MUSIC ]
