The two billionaires, who have both been reality show stars and larger-than-life personas, have feuded regularly in recent years.
What seemed initially like Trump bluster soon took on a more serious tone when Flowers responded on her own Twitter account.
Buzzfeed News later confirmed with Flowers’ assistant that she would accept the invitation, though whether or not the Trump campaign will actually give her one remains unconfirmed.
The Trump campaign released a negative ad earlier this week featuring footage of the Clintons being interviewed about the affair with Flowers, which Bill denied at the time but later acknowledged, and on Saturday the presidential nominee tweet-threatened the proposed invite to Flowers. Here’s everything to know about Monday’s first debate between Trump and Clinton, including start time, where to watch, who’s moderating and more.

The poll of 651 likely voters was conducted September 19-22.
Trump had never participated in a debate before the presidential primaries.
