		</div><p>US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has attacked her rival Donald Trump&#8217;s tax history, business acumen and trustworthiness as she sought to capitalise on news that the Republican candidate may not have paid federal taxes for years.</p>
<p>Campaigning at a union hall in Ohio, Democratic candidate Mrs Clinton cast the New York billionaire as a cold-hearted and bungling businessman who &#8220;represents the same rigged system that he claims he&#8217;s going to change&#8221;.</p>
<p>She called for a new law requiring presidential candidates to release their tax returns, something her opponent has refused to do.</p>
<p>Mrs Clinton then mocked Mr Trump for losing money in the casino industry, and claimed he left workers and taxpayers to pick up the bill from his failed enterprises.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s taken corporate excess and makes a business model out it,&#8221; she said.<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s Trump first and everyone else last.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Democrat&#8217;s broadside was her first response to a weekend New York Times report that Mr Trump claimed a loss of nearly US$916m in a single year on his personal income taxes.</p>
<p>The Times said the size of the loss could have allowed Mr Trump to avoid owing federal taxes for nearly two decades, an assertion his campaign neither confirmed nor disputed.</p>
<p>While Mr Trump&#8217;s allies contended the Republican presidential candidate was a &#8220;genius&#8221; for using the tax system to rebuild his fortune, the Clinton campaign released a new TV ad, asking: &#8220;If not paying taxes makes him smart, what does that make the rest of us?&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Trump made no reference to the tax issue at an event with veterans in Virginia, but he dispatched several surrogates to defend him.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, former cast and crew members from the reality TV show The Apprentice described for the first time Mr Trump&#8217;s treatment of women on the set.</p>
<p>Insiders said Mr Trump rated female contestants by the size of their breasts and talked about which ones he would like to have sex with.</p>
<p>The campaign issued a broad denial, calling the claims &#8220;totally false&#8221;.</p>
<p>The revelations piled on a week of Trump missteps and his increasingly aggressive personal attacks on Mrs Clinton.</p>
<p>Mr Trump has engaged in a feud with a former beauty queen he called &#8220;Miss Piggy&#8221; because she gained weight during her reign.</p>
<p>He seemed to try to shift the conversation on Saturday night when he suggested, without evidence, that Mrs Clinton may have cheated on her husband, former US president Bill Clinton.</p>
<p>Ahead of the second debate next Sunday, Mr Trump&#8217;s campaign is searching for a way to rattle the typically disciplined Mrs Clinton while also gaining control of its own message.</p>
<p>While the tax records published by the Times show no irregularities, the size of Mr Trump&#8217;s loss cuts at a core tenet of his presidential bid &#8211; his remarkable business success.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, his boorish comments to women are threatening to turn away female voters.</p>
<p>At a forum hosted by the Retired American Warriors PAC in Virginia, Mr Trump took aim at Mrs Clinton&#8217;s commitment to fighting cybersecurity threats and pointed to her use of a private email server when she served as US secretary of state.</p>
<p>He said Mrs Clinton&#8217;s handling of classified emails on the server makes her &#8220;totally unfit&#8221; for the Oval Office, and pledged to make cybersecurity an &#8220;immediate and top priority&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Trump&#8217;s campaign said he had paid &#8220;hundreds of millions&#8221; of dollars in other kinds of taxes over the years, and supporters noted the story did not allege any illegal tax dodging.</p>
<p>Trump supporter and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani called him &#8220;a genius at how to take advantage of legal remedies that can help your company survive and grow&#8221; on ABC&#8217;s This Week.</p>
<p>Mrs Clinton reposted a tweet from Mr Trump, who wrote in 2012 that &#8220;HALF of Americans don&#8217;t pay income tax despite crippling govt debt&#8221;.</p>
<p>She tweeted: &#8220;Now that&#8217;s pretty rich coming from a guy who paid $0 in taxes for 18 years.&#8221;</p>
