Hillary Clinton Fires Back At 'Bully' Trump
The 2016 White House race is shaping up to be the ugliest ever
Hillary Clinton has fired back after "bully" Republican rival Donald Trump's rape allegation against her husband.
During a CNN interview, the Democratic White House front runner was asked about Mr Trump's attack a day earlier against former President Bill Clinton.
CNN host Chris Cuomo said: "Do you ever feel compelled to defend your honour, the honour of your husband?"
The former Secretary of State said: "No, not at all. I know that that's exactly what he (Mr Trump) is fishing for. I'm not gonna be responding."

She added if "you pick a fight with a bully, you know, you are going to be pulled down to their levels".
During an interview on Wednesday with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Mr Trump appeared to bring up a 1978 rape allegation against Mr Clinton.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was answering questions about an unflattering New York Times story at the weekend involving his own relationships with women.
Hannity asked whether the newspaper would interview women, including Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey, who have accused Mr Clinton of sexual misconduct.
Hannity said: "In one case, it's about exposure. In another case, it's about groping and fondling and touching against a woman's will."
Mr Trump replied: "And rape."
Ms Broaddrick, a nurse, alleges she was sexually assaulted by then-state attorney-general Mr Clinton at a Little Rock hotel. Mr Clinton's lawyer has previously denied the allegation.
On Thursday, Mrs Clinton sidestepped Mr Trump's line of attack to say that he was "not qualified" to be US president.
She questioned his ability to handle foreign policy challenges, decrying what she described as his "irresponsible, reckless, dangerous comments".
Mrs Clinton also said she has already won her race for the Democratic presidential nomination against Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
"That is already done in effect. There is no way that I won't be (the nominee)," said Mrs Clinton.
She is 90 delegates short of clinching the party nomination ahead of November's White House election.
