The former Miss Universe at the center of a bitter exchange in Monday's presidential debate was accused of aiding a would-be murderer and threatening to kill a judge, it has emerged.
Alicia Machado was named by Hillary Clinton as having been shamed for her weight in 1996 by Donald Trump, when she was Miss Universe and he bought the beauty contest, by being called 'Miss Piggy' when she gained weight.
The then Miss Venezuela was photographed with Trump at a gym as he spoke about how she 'loves to eat', and she also claimed he mocked her Latino accent, calling her 'Miss Housekeeping'.
On Tuesday Machado launched her own attack on the Republican candidate, accusing him of abuse and 'stupid things'.
But now two Associated Press reports from 1998 have revealed the Machado was accused of aiding attempted murder and threats to kill in Venezuela.
DailyMail.com has asked the Clinton campaign whether they knew about the accusations, which do not appear to have ended in conviction, before the candidate spoke about her at the debate.
The campaign also organized a conference call for reporters on Tuesday with the now 39-year-old actress, in which she spoke almost exclusively in Spanish to continue the attacks on Trump.
The troubling details of what Machado was accused of emerged after she had reigned as Miss Universe in 1996.

Wow! Nicely done! Thanks!
They would be grateful to have that much food available in Venezuela now!
People see through this crap. Especially coming from Hillary.
I’m sure there are lots of stupid liberals that believe every lie, oops “word” that Hillary says.
She’s almost as much a polished liar as Obama is.

So now all the Clintonista scandals of the 90s are fair game, Shrillary has been stopped enough to go there!

Welcome to 2016.
Just kidding.
Stoopid not stopped, lol
Stoopid auto correct
There is a headline you don’t expect to see, very cool.
The only Hillary ad I’ve seen on TV was aimed at getting the ugly girl vote.
So if you are female and ugly, Hillary wants you. If, on the other hand, you are better looking than she is, she doesn’t want to have anything to do with you.
Now you know why I’m not an accountant.
Looks like Hillary’s heroine has a bit of dirt on her resume. I am sure the lamestream media will dive into Alicia Machado’s life story. /sarc
That exchange in the debate was confusing because I’d never heard of these incidents. What did shock me was Hillary essentially implying Trump’s a lecherous old man, her comment about him “enjoying being around” beauty contests, said in a sneering tone.
Trump could have said, “Hillary what the heck would you know about beauty contests?” but he was on his good behavior for the first debate.
There is a double standard, but it favors the female candidate. Hillary all but calls Trump a pervert. Imagine if Trump said the slightest thing to infer Hillary was a slut, or the opposite (and more likely true) frigid?

Miss Universe? Must be a small universe.
Hitlery was gloating about how this former Miss Universe recently became a US citizen... and IMO Trump should have replied, “Of COURSE she did! Venezuela has become a failed state because of socialism, or as so many call it, progressivism! Has not worked in Venezuela, AND IT WON’T WORK HERE!” If he had said that or something similar, the witch would have NO plans to attend the second debate!;)
Time to call in all Bill Clinton victims!!!
Talk about nit picking....
Remember when the Gov came up with a new body weight standard and it had Michael Jordan - in the PEAK of his career - classified as fat - ergo out of shape etc
Nothing new with a Govt finding being hogwash as I vividly remember drilling for an A Attack by getting under a wooden desk.
Or during the ATests of the 40-50s had the ‘exposed’ people wearing shirts buttoned at the collar and sleeves buttoned and told to ‘shade their eyes’ and turn away - while OUTSIDE during the blasts....
Funny you don’t hear of the government telling you not to run with a pencil - point up - in your pocket, or a BB gun will put out your eye or hair will grow on your hands if you etc etc etc, don’t put anything in your ear smaller than your elbow....
of course that is what ‘Grandma & Grandpa’ were for.
There’s been a number of reports that a former Miss America was raped by Bill Clinton. Rather than get dragged through the mud, she settled for a payoff and agreement to call it consensual. It was odd that Hillary brought up beauty pageants. It was as if she were intentionally mocking Bill’s victim and baiting Trump to dare to bring up the incident. Trump didn’t take the bait, but I’m sure he was itching to do so.

Well then, I care even less, if that’s possible.
