America - House Judiciary Committee Democrats released a 50-page report
Monday that included testimony from 11 women who say Trump raped or
sexually assaulted them in connection to Jeffrey Epstein….
The report identifies patterns of
behavior shared by Trump and Epstein, including promises of university
admissions used to control victims and follow-up contact made months after
alleged assaults. Five of the women described Trump and Epstein as competitive
in their pursuits, with Epstein reportedly punishing victims when Trump
initiated sexual contact with them.
… Rep. Jamie Raskin, the
committee’s ranking member, accused the DOJ of a cover-up, saying, “These women
have spoken to investigators and, in some cases, testified under oath, yet
Trump’s Justice Department has shut down investigations, deliberately withheld
evidence and, through Todd Blanche, prevented Ghislaine Maxwell from discussing
a survivor whose account implicated Trump.”
Time
- In a statement, the White House denies the allegations and says that
President Trump has been “fully exonerated of anything related to Epstein.”
A report released Monday by Democrats on the
House Judiciary Committee examining President Donald Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein included new details from a
woman who alleged Trump raped her in 1993.
Beatrice Keul, a model and former Miss Switzerland finalist,
alleged to Judiciary Committee staff that she was raped by Trump in a Plaza
Hotel suite in Manhattan when she was 24. Keul said that while attending the
American Dream Pageant, which had a partnership with Trump, she met with Trump
at a press luncheon at the event. Trump, according to Keul, promised to arrange
her visa in the U.S. and ensure her acceptance into New York University through
his friend Paolo Zampolli, a close Trump ally who was, until earlier this
month, part of his Administration. At the same event, she also spent at least
10 minutes talking to Epstein, who she said claimed to have organized “many
parties with Don.”
Later that day, Keul alleges, a representative of Trump
invited her to a hotel suite where Trump “grabbed Keul from behind and forcibly
raped her,” causing “bleeding and bruising on multiple parts of her body,” the
report says. Following the incident, Keul alleges Trump made her promise she
would keep quiet and repeated his promise for visa and college admission. TIME
has been unable to independently verify details of Keul’s account.
