Hillary Clinton's apparent defeat in Tuesday's presidential election was called "vindication" by the woman who accused Bill Clinton of rape in the 1990s.

Juanita Broaddrick thanked Donald Trump on her certified Twitter account just after 2 a.m. Wednesday and said she was crying "Tears of joy.

"Vindication after 38 years of pain & suffering. Thanks to Mr Trump & all of you. It does go away," she said.

In 1999, at the height of the Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky sex scandals, Ms. Broaddrick said Mr. Clinton raped her in April 1978, when she was 35 and he was Arkansas Attorney General. She accused Mrs. Clinton during this year presidential campaign of being an enabler and that Mrs. Clinton's public celebrity was traumatizing to her as a rape survivor.
