Democratic report alleges Trump sexually assaulted five women linked to Epstein case

Democratic staff on the House Judiciary Committee released a report detailing allegations involving 11 women connected to Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein during the 1990s, particularly in New York and Palm Beach. The report states that five women have directly accused Trump of sexual assault in Epstein’s company or presence.

Former Miss Switzerland Beatrice Keul alleges that Trump raped her in November 1993 at New York’s Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned at the time. Keul says she met Trump when she was 24 at a press event for a pageant and that he promised to arrange a visa for her and help her gain acceptance to New York University.

“Five women have directly accused Trump of sexual assault in Epstein’s company or presence; others have indicated that Epstein or Maxwell attempted to traffic them to Trump.”

According to Keul’s account in the report, Jeffrey Epstein approached her after Trump stepped away, describing himself as “Don’s best friend” and inviting her to a party at Mar-a-Lago. A Trump representative then allegedly invited Keul to meet Trump upstairs at the Plaza Hotel.

The report alleges that upon entering the room, Trump grabbed Keul from behind and forcibly raped her, tearing her dress and causing bleeding and bruising on multiple parts of her body. Keul shared her account with Democratic committee staffers over several weeks.

Representative Jamie Raskin, the committee’s senior Democrat, said the accounts warrant a fresh investigation and described them as a far more damning story than Trump’s claim that he knew Epstein “just like everybody in Palm Beach knew him.”

The White House denied the allegations, calling them a desperate attempt by crazed Democrats to distract Americans from President Trump’s historic achievements. The report makes clear that the allegations are not findings of criminal guilt and do not establish that Trump committed the alleged acts.

Trump has repeatedly described Epstein as a “creep” whom he kicked out of his Mar-a-Lago club and says he ended his friendship with Epstein long before suspicions of criminal wrongdoing arose.
