Trump Said Clinton Laughed at Rape Victim. She Didn't
“Hillary Clinton shamed women, attacked women. There are four of them here tonight. One of them is a women who was raped at 12 years old. Her client, she represented got him off and she's seen laughing on two separate occasions at the girl who was raped. Kathy Shelton, that woman, is here with us tonight,” Trump said of the 1975 rape case.
Clinton, a court-appointed attorney defending the accused rapist at the time, did not get him off; the prosecution mishandled key evidence in the case and her client eventually took a plea deal to a much lesser sentence.
She is heard laughing in an interview with a reporter roughly a decade later, but nowhere in the tape does she laugh at the victim.
She did question the credibility of the victim as part of her defense in a written affidavit.
