Donald Trump on Saturday pledged post-election lawsuits against every woman who has accused him of sexual assault or other inappropriate behaviour, and he charged Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic Party with orchestrating the allegations.
"Every one of these liars will be sued once the election is over," Trump said, adding, "I look so forward to doing that."
Trump's threat overshadowed his intended focus during a speech in Gettysburg, Pa., that was billed as a chance for the Republican nominee to lay out his agenda for his first 100 days in office.
Trump promised to institute a hiring freeze on federal workers and to label China as a currency manipulator, but he first seized on the chance to once again try to discredit his accusers.
"Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign,"

Trump opened his speech by telling supporters the U.S. political system is "totally rigged and broken."
"I've seen the system up close and personal for many years, in Washington and on Wall Street, and how the rules of the game against everyday Americans are rigged. The rules are rigged," he said.

He said he would work to quash deals that allow media ownership concentration, saying large media companies are "trying to tell voters what to think and what to do."
