Story highlights Clinton accused Trump of "assaulting" women

This comes after a tumultuous couple of days that have shaken the 2016 presidential campaign

Dade City, Florida (CNN) Hillary Clinton's campaign is looking to change the subject after days of news about a renewed FBI review into emails associated with her private server by launching a concerted attack against Donald Trump's treatment of women.

Clinton, speaking at a rally here on Tuesday, called Trump a bully and accused him of "assaulting" women, opening up a last-ditch effort to put the spotlight on Trump, not her.

After being introduced by former Miss Universe Alicia Machado at the rally, Clinton cracked a joke about Trump finding fault with her.

"I mean, really," Clinton said incredulously, "can we just stop for a minute and reflect on the absurdity of Donald Trump finding fault with Miss Universe?"

Machado became a factor in the 2016 election when Clinton brought her up at the first debate, drawing attention to Trump's treatment of her while he ran the Miss Universe pageant. Trump reportedly called Machado "Miss Housekeeping" and "Miss Piggy" when she gained weight after winning the beauty pageant.
