In 1999, Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, told Wolf Blitzer that Clinton had “been through more than any woman should have to bear — everything public,” according to video unearthed by CNN’s KFile.

“I think she’s gone through terrible times,” he said of the Democratic presidential nominee. “I mean, women go through this on a private basis and can’t take it. She’s on the front page of every newspaper every week with what went on in Washington.”

CNN also reported that Trump expressed similar feelings on CNBC a month prior, slamming prosecutor Ken Starr, who pursued former President Bill Clinton William (Bill) Jefferson ClintonChelsea Clinton: Trump isn't building public confidence in a vaccine Hillary Clinton launching podcast this month GOP brushes back charges of hypocrisy in Supreme Court fight MORE's indiscretions all the way to his impeachment by the House of Representatives.

"I think she's a very, very good person," Trump said of Clinton. "I think she's had a very tough life the last few years. I mean, what could be tougher than that? I mean, can you imagine those evenings when he's just being lambasted by this crazy Ken Starr, who is a total wacko? There's the guy. I mean, he is totally off his rocker.”

Trump’s past comments about Hillary Clinton were published by CNN just hours before the second presidential debate of 2016.

The Republican nominee has threatened to go after his Democratic counterpart for being an “enabler.”

Earlier Sunday, Trump promoted a Breitbart interview with Juanita Broaddrick, a woman who accused Bill Clinton of rape.

He also retweeted Broaddrick on Saturday as she accused the Democratic nominee of protecting a “rapist.”

In his apology video on Friday, following his lewd comments about women, Trump threatened to go after the former president’s infidelities at the second debate.
