Mr. Trump accused Mrs. Clinton of laughing about getting a man acquitted of raping a 12-year-old girl.
Not true.
Kathy Shelton was 12 in Arkansas in 1975 when Hillary Rodham, then 27, was appointed by a court to defend a man accused of raping her. Much later, Ms. Shelton accused Mrs. Clinton of getting her rapist off and even laughing about the case. The prosecution’s case was problematic, and Mrs. Clinton’s client pleaded guilty to a lesser offense. Mrs. Clinton had tried to get out of representing the accused rapist but she was encouraged to do so by the judge because the defendant requested a female defense lawyer. In the mid-1980s, Mrs. Clinton was interviewed at length about the case by a reporter. After her client passed a lie-detector test, she said with a laugh that it destroyed her faith in polygraphs. She did not laugh in the recorded interview about winning the man's acquittal.

FYI, there is a ton of stuff here but it's really good at fact checking.
