| Clinton aide says FBI email query has had no impact – election live | |

| Hillary Clinton on Donald Trump allegedly walking in on changing teenagers: | |
| We cannot hide from this. We’ve got to be willing to face it. This man wants to be president of the United States of America! | |
| 8.05pm GMT | |
| 20:05 | |
| Clinton continued, taking aim at Donald Trump for what she she described as “what he has done to women and girls.” | |
| “For my entire life, I’ve been a woman, and when I think about what we now know about Donald Trump and what he has been doing for thirty years, he has spent a great deal of time demeaning, degrading and assaulting women.” | |
| “I would, frankly, rather be here talking about anything else,” Clinton continued, “but I can’t just talk about all the good things we wanna do, because people are making up their minds. This is a consequential choice.” | |
| “A lot of his supporters don’t like to hear this - I don’t blame them! If I were supporting him, I wouldn’t want to hear about it either!” | |
| “Can we just stop for a minute and focus on the absurdity of Donald Trump finding fault with Miss Universe?” | |
| 7.56pm GMT | |
| 19:56 | |
| Speaking in Dade City, Florida, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was welcomed to the stage by former Miss Universe Alicia Machado to the strains of “Fight Song.” | |
| “Alicia will be voting for the very first time in this election, and I am very grateful for her support,” Clinton said. | |
| “One week from today, we will be choosing our next president and commander in chief,” Clinton said. “I don’t think the choice could be any clearer.” | |
| “I am ready to serve if you give me the great honor of being your president.” | |
| Clinton was greeted with a raucous chant of “Hillary! Hillary!” | |
| “That stands in contrast to my opponent,” Clinton continued. “Maybe for you, if you think about all of the issues that separate Donald Trump from me, it could be his dangerous statements about nuclear weapons. When a journalist told Donald Trump that people were worried about how casually he talks about nuclear weapons, he said, ‘well, then why are we making them?’” | |

| Former Miss Universe on Donald Trump: 'He was cruel' | |
| Speaking in Dade City, Florida, former beauty queen Alicia Machado introduced Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton by describing her interactions with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump during her reign as Miss Universe 1996. | |
| “I was only 18 years old - a little girl,” Machado said. “There was still so much I didn’t know. Trump was overwhelming. I was scared of him. He made fun of me, and I didn’t know how to respond. He told me that I looked ugly, and I was massive. He even called me names. He said to me, ‘Miss Piggy,’ ‘Miss Housekeeping,’ ‘Miss Eating Machine.’ Soon, it became a joke. Alicia Machado was the Fat Miss Universe. It was really painful for me. He was cruel.” | |
| “For years afterwards, I was sick fighting eating disorders.” | |
| “It’s really clear that he does not respect women,” Machado continued. “He just judges us on our looks. He thinks he can do whatever he wants and get away with it. Well, now I’m standing here on behalf of women and Latinos across the country, Americans who have been horrified with his dangerous ideas and vision of America.” | |
| “Together, we are going to say loudly and clearly, ‘no Trump!’ He’s not getting away with it!” | |
