Key Survivor Accounts in the Report

The report compiles testimonies, FBI records, and direct interviews involving 11 women, focusing especially on five women who explicitly accused Trump of rape or sexual assault in Epstein’s physical presence or direct company:

1. Béatrice Keul (Former Miss Switzerland Runner-Up):
   • Context: In 2024, Keul had previously recounted an incident involving aggressive kissing and groping. Her new testimony provided directly to committee investigators provides a more severe account.
   • Allegation: Keul stated that during a November 1993 American Dream Pageant event at Manhattan’s Plaza Hotel, she was escorted to an upstairs suite under the impression they were discussing career opportunities and educational visas. She testified that Trump grabbed her from behind and violently raped her, resulting in physical bruising, bleeding, and a torn dress.
   • Aftermath: According to her testimony, Trump told her that “the show must go on” and offered promises to help secure a U.S. visa and admission to New York University to keep her quiet.
2. Stacey Williams (Former Model):
   • Allegation: Williams recounted an incident from 1993 where Epstein brought her to Trump Tower. She alleged that while the three were together in an office, Trump pulled her toward him and began groping her breasts, waist, and buttocks while Epstein stood by, watched, and smiled.
3. Jill Harth (Former Business Associate & Makeup Artist):
   • Allegation: Harth, who worked with Trump on calendar and pageant ventures in the 1990s, detailed multiple incidents of assault, including an encounter at a 1993 business dinner and a 1994 party at Mar-a-Lago where Epstein was present, alleging Trump forced her into a bedroom and attempted to assault her.
4. Katie Johnson:
   • Allegation: Citing previously unsealed federal interview notes, the report reviews Johnson’s statements alleging that she was repeatedly sexually assaulted and raped by Epstein and Trump in 1994 when she was a minor.
5. Jane Doe FBI Witness:
   • Allegation: The report incorporates interview transcripts from an anonymous woman in the Epstein files who told the FBI that she was assaulted by Trump after being introduced to him through Epstein’s social circle.

Patterns Identified by Committee Investigators

• Predatory “Hunting Grounds”: The report concludes that pageants, modeling agency competitions (such as Elite Model Management events), and private parties were systematically used by both men to target young and vulnerable women.
• Competitive Dynamic: Multiple women described a competitive, predatory rivalry between Trump and Epstein over women and teenage models, with testimonies indicating Epstein would parade women before Trump and retaliate against models if they drew Trump’s attention.
• Modeling Visas & Recruitment: The report highlights ties between Epstein and modeling scout Paolo Zampolli, alleging young foreign models were brought to the U.S. on visas and introduced into Epstein’s circle.

Official Responses & Political Fallout

Spokespersons asserted that Trump had been previously exonerated of any wrongdoing regarding Epstein and labeled the report a partisan smear designed to sway voters ahead of the upcoming elections.

Democratic Committee Leadership:

Ranking Member Jamie Raskin and committee Democrats formally called on the Department of Justice to appoint an independent special counsel to examine Epstein’s co-conspirators and review how prior federal investigations handled allegations involving Trump.

Trump Campaign and White House Reaction:

Representatives forcefully denied all claims in the report, characterizing them as completely fabricated.
