The Daily Beast:

As Donald Trump descended his podium at a rally in Arkansas last week, a familiar scene of screaming fans met him with requests for autographs and selfies. Everything was gaudy in a typically Trumpian way but for the presence of one person in particular: Paula Jones.

“Go ahead honey, go,” Trump told Jones as she turns around for a selfie with the Republican frontrunner. When her husband introduced himself, Trump leaned over the railing and said “you got lucky man, look how beautiful,” before moving along down the line.

Jones, who made national headlines for suing former president Bill Clinton for sexual harassment in 1994, has emerged from obscurity to support Trump’s presidential bid, posting a selfie on Twitter after meeting the orange-hued mogul in her home state. Jones’s suit against Clinton was eventually dismissed for lack of evidence, but the then-president still agreed to pay her $850,000 in an out-of-court settlement in 1998.

“@realDonaldTrump thanks for stopping and allowing a selfie!” Jones tweeted with the accompanying image, complete with an elephant and American flag emojis. And before even getting the opportunity to meet him, Jones had endorsed Trump for president. “Hey@realDonaldTrump I am 100% voting for you! We need a real President with brains and guts!” she tweeted in December last year.

“I don’t want to see the Clintons back in the White House,” Kathleen Willey told The Daily Beast in a phone interview. Willey, who alleged that Clinton sexually assaulted her while she was a White House aide in 1993, is doing more than snapping selfies with candidates trying to knock off Clinton: She plans to give public speeches assailing Hillary for her alleged attempts to suppress her husband’s accusers.

The rest is here
