At least three women who have accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct will sit in the audience while Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton duke it out during the second presidential debate Sunday.

The accusers, Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, and Kathleen Willey, appeared with Trump in support of the Republican nominee during Trump’s Facebook Live video about an hour before the St. Louis debate was scheduled to start.

The women claim that Clinton sexually assaulted or harassed them during his years in office in Arkansas or as President, according to the New York Times. NBC News confirmed that the women will be in the audience.

Trump has been facing intense backlash and calls for his removal from the race since the WashingtonPost published audio of a lewd conversation about women he’d had with Billy Bush in 2005. In his initial statement, Trump said: “Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course—not even close.”
