"Every one of these liars will be sued once the election is over," Trump said, adding, "I look so forward to doing that."
Trump's threat overshadowed his intended focus during a speech in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, that was billed as a chance for the Republican nominee to lay out his agenda for his first 100 days in office.
Trump promised to institute a hiring freeze on federal workers and to label China as a currency manipulator, but he first seized on the chance to once again try to discredit his accusers.
Ten women have publicly accused Trump of unwanted advances or sexual assault in the weeks since a 2005 recording emerged in which the former reality TV star made sexually aggressive comments about women. Trump has denied all allegations while insisting some of the women weren't attractive enough for him to want to pursue.
Trump stuck to his belief the election is "rigged against him," repeated false concerns about widespread voter fraud and insisted Clinton should have been barred from running because of legal questions about her use of a private email system as secretary of state.
"They're trying desperately to suppress my vote and the vote of the American people," he said.
Amid Trump's struggles, Clinton has been displaying growing confidence and making direct appeals to voters "who may be reconsidering their support" for Trump following a string of sexual assault allegations and other troubles for the GOP nominee.
"I know you may still have questions for me," Clinton said Friday in Cleveland. "I respect that. I want to answer them. I want to earn your vote."
