Gennifer Flowers, the former model who had an extramarital affair with Bill Clinton in the 1980s, says she'll accept an invitation from Donald Trump to sit in the front row of Monday's presidential debate, according to an assistant. Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri commented, "Hillary Clinton plans on using the debate to discuss the issues that make a difference in people's lives. "If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Jennifer Flowers right alongside of him!" The prospect of Flowers attending the debate was raised on Saturday when Trump tweeted that he would put her in the audience, if billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban sat in the front row. It’s not surprising that Donald Trump has chosen a different path." !," Flowers wrote on Facebook. You know I'm in your corner and will definitely be at the debate‎" and she has now told some other media she is planning on attending. Representatives of the campaign did not respond to CNN's inquiries about whether Flowers would be invited following Trump's message saying "perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside" Mark Cuban.  Just got a front row seat to watch @ HillaryClinton overwhelm @ realDonaldTrump at the "Humbling at Hofstra" on Monday. The co-chair of the nonpartisan commission that operates the debates said on Saturday that Cuban will not actually be sitting in the front row.
– For the moment it appears the woman who had an affair with Bill Clinton will be front-and-center during Monday's debate at Donald Trump's invitation, BuzzFeed reports. It started with the Clinton campaign inviting Bizarro-Trump Mark Cuban to the presidential debate at Hoffstra University. TPM quotes a Clinton aide as saying Cuban "has the best seat we have access to." CNN explains that each candidate gets a few tickets for the debate and can decide who sits where. "Just got a front row seat to watch Hillary Clinton overwhelm Donald Trump at the 'Humbling at Hofstra' on Monday," Cuban, an increasingly vocal critic of Trump, tweeted Thursday. "It is on!" "If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside of him!" Trump tweeted Saturday. In 1998, Bill Clinton admitted to having a sexual relationship with Flowers in the 1980s. The former model quickly accepted the invitation, tweeting, "Hi Donald. You know I'm in your corner and will definitely be at the debate!" and adding a kiss emoji. Flowers' assistant confirms to BuzzFeed that Flowers has accepted the invitation despite turning similar ones down in the past to avoid being a "sideshow." The Trump campaign hasn't said whether Trump's tweet constitutes an official invite. The co-chair of the debate commission tells CNN they "would frown upon" any attempt to use guests to "impact the debate."
