Donald Trump delivered an all-out attack speech on Hillary Clinton, tearing into his Democratic rival as a 'world class liar' for 'taking money' from special interests

'Hillary Clinton who, as most people know, is a world class liar,' Trump said, in just one of the insults he threw at Clinton, who he portrayed as an on-the-take politician.

'She gets rich, making you poor,' Trump said in his 40-minute attack speech.

Reading a prepared speech from a teleprompter, Trump ran through the gamut of Clinton scandals and foibles, from her and her husband's paid speeches, the email scandal, the Benghazi attack, even Clinton's past statements about a visit to Bosnia when she was first lady.

'She ran the State Department like her own personal hedge fund – doing favors for oppressive regimes, and many others, in exchange for cash,' Trump charged.

Trump cited the book 'Clinton Cash,' by Peter Schweizer, which brought up paid speeches Bill Clinton gave that were 'underwritten by China or its supporters.

'She sold out our workers, and our country, for Beijing,' Trump said.

'Just look at her pathetic email and server statements, or her phony landing in Bosnia where she said she was under attack but the attack turned out to be young girls handing her flowers, a total self-serving lie,' Trump said.

The comment was a reminder of a flap from Clinton's 2008 campaign, where she boasted about landing in Bosnia under sniper fire, when contemporaneous video showed a friendly landing. After the claims became an issue in her campaign against Barack Obama, Clinton said she 'misspoke.'

'Brian Williams’ career was destroyed for saying far less,' Trump said,delivering another blow comparing him to the former NBC anchor who had to give up his perch after he was found making a series of exaggerations.

Hillary Clinton's camp had no immediate response to the speech.

Marcy Stech of the group Emily's List, which backs Clinton, released a statement in reaction to Trump's shameful, dishonest speech about Hillary Clinton.' 'Believe me, Donald Trump is a world-class fraud and his lies are a disservice to the nation,' Stech said.

Clinton delivered her own denunciation of Trump on Tuesday in Columbus, Ohio by ripping his business career as 'Art of the Steal.'

‘He’s written a lot of books about business – they all seem to end at Chapter 11,’ she said, adding the Trump would 'use and abuse' America.

Trump laid the Benghazi attack squarely in Clinton's lap. Trump said, 'Her decisions spread death, destruction and terrorism everywhere she touched.'

He blamed Clinton for the death of the late U.S. ambassador to Libya, who Clinton considered a friend. He died after terrorists stormed a U.S. embassy compound and CIA annex.

'Among the victims is our late Ambassador, Chris Stevens. He was left helpless to die as Hillary Clinton soundly slept in her bed -- that's right, when the phone rang at 3:00 in the morning, she was sleeping.'

'The Hillary Clinton foreign policy has cost America thousands of lives and trillions of dollars – and unleashed ISIS across the world,' Trump said. 'No Secretary of State has been more wrong, more often, and in more places than Hillary Clinton.'

'Hillary Clinton may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency of the United States,' Trump said to applause at a Trump property in New York.

Trump delivered the long attack on his rival after having to postpone an event originally planned for the day after the killings in Orlando.

The candidate has been under pressure from donors and leading Republicans to keep the heat on Clinton rather than other cul-de-sacs, like his attacks on judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over Trump University lawsuits.

He issued the long denunciation at a time when his own campaign is under pressure for stumbles and for failing to keep up with Clinton's fundraising, just days after firing campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

Even as he went hard after Clinton, Trump didn't mention his proposed Muslim ban when he brought up ISIS, and instead referred to 'peaceful' activities of most Muslims.

'ISIS also threatens peaceful Muslims across the Middle East, and peaceful Muslims across the world, who have been terribly victimized by horrible brutality – and who only want to raise their kids in peace and safety,' Trump said.

Amid a campaign where Clinton holds a big lead among women voters, Trump brought up her connections to oppressive regimes. He tried to hold her accountable for big contributions governments made to the Clinton Foundation started by her husband but which she has helped urn at various times.

'Hillary Clinton took up to $25 million from Saudi Arabia, where being gay is also punishable by death,' Trump said. 'Hillary took millions from Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and many other countries that horribly abuse women and LGBT citizens.

Trump drew heavily on reporting by author Peter Schweizer, although Schweizer hasn't gone as far as to say
Clinton did official actions at the State Department in exchange for money

'To cover-up her corrupt dealings, Hillary Clinton illegally stashed her State Department emails on a private server,' Trump said, bringing up a scandal that has dogged Clinton throughout the campaign.

'Her server was easily hacked by foreign governments – perhaps even by her financial backers in Communist China – putting all of America in danger.'

'Then there are the 33,000 emails she deleted,' Trump continued.

He said Clinton 'accepted $58,000 in jewelry from the government of Brunei' – a reference to gifts disclosed by the State Department when she ran the agency from 2009 to 2013.

Under federal ethics rules, such items must be turned over to the federal government for official use unless a government official decides to pay for them out of personal funds.

The State Department disclosed in 2013 that Clinton was formally given gold, sapphire and diamond jewelry worth $58,000 from Brunei's queen, but it wasn't immediately clear whether she decided to keep it and pay for it or whether it remains in the government's possession.

As the Clinton camp tries to drive up Trump's unfavorable rating with blistering TV attack ads the campaign has begun airing, Trump hit again and again on Clinton's character, charging her with greed.

'The other candidate in this race has spent her entire life making money for special interests – and taking money from special interests,' Trump said.

'Hillary Clinton has perfected the politics of personal profit and theft.'

He faulted her for backing NAFTA and letting China steal intellectual property, but didn't exactly connect the dots for how she profited.

'Hillary Clinton gave China millions of our best jobs, and effectively let China completely rebuild itself,' Trump said. 'In return, Hillary Clinton got rich!

He said Clinton's message is 'old and tired.'

Referencing speech transcripts that Clinton has refused to put out despite calls from Sanders, Trump said,' 'When she left [the State Department], she made $21.6 million giving speeches to Wall Street banks and other special interests – in less than 2 years – secret speeches that she does not want to reveal to the public.'

'Together, she and Bill made $153 million giving speeches to lobbyists, CEOs, and foreign governments in the years since 2001,' Trump said.


Earlier Wednesday, Trump saidHillary Clinton is taking 'blood money' from big donors to her presidential campaign

Trump laced the speech with some Reagan-style uplift.

'I love what I do, and I am grateful beyond words to the nation that has allowed me to do it,' said the mogul. 'So when people ask me why I am running, I quickly answer: I am running to give back to this country which has been so good to me,' he said.

And though many of the new attack lines had the ring of professionally-crafted speechwriting, the speech was laced with some lines from Trump's stump speeches, including a call to fix the nation's 'crumbling' infrastructure.

“I know these problems can all be fixed, but not by Hillary Clinton. Only by me.”

Earlier, Trump said Clinton is taking 'blood money' from big donors to finance her presidential bid.

Trup said Clinton will be 'owned by Wall Street' if she wins the White House

'She's making deals. They say, "Could I be the ambassador to this? Could I do that? Could I get my businesses taken care of?" ' Trump told CBS. 'I mean, gimme a break. All of the money she is raising, that's blood money.'
