House Democrats Report New Epstein-Linked Rape Allegations Against Trump
House Judiciary Committee Democrats released a report on Monday, October 26, 2026, detailing new allegations of sexual assault against President Donald Trump, including a previously redacted account from a woman who says Trump raped her in 1993. The report, which examines Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, includes testimony from Beatrice Keul, a former Miss Switzerland contestant and model, who told congressional staff that Trump raped her in a Plaza Hotel suite in Manhattan when she was 24. According to the report, Keul described the encounter as violent, leaving her bleeding and bruised, and said Trump later pressured her to remain silent. The account remains redacted in the Department of Justice’s public files, but members of Congress reviewed the unredacted passage.nnKeul’s allegation stems from a November 1993 modeling competition at the Plaza Hotel. She said she met Trump at a press luncheon during the American Dream Pageant, which had a partnership with Trump. The report also highlights the broader relationship between Trump and Epstein, noting that the two men socialized, attended events together, and remained in each other’s orbit through much of the 1990s. The committee’s findings suggest that Trump and Epstein shared a world built around young models, raising questions about the nature of their association. The report is part of an ongoing effort by Democrats to investigate Trump’s connections to Epstein, who was convicted of sex offenses and died in prison in 2019.nnThe White House swiftly dismissed the report as a politically motivated attack. Spokeswoman Lauren Bis maintained that Trump had been “fully exonerated of anything related to Epstein” and criticized the timing of the release. However, Democrats on the committee argue that the new allegations are credible and warrant further investigation. The report includes detailed survivor accounts, which committee members say were reviewed carefully and corroborated where possible. The allegations add to a growing list of legal and political challenges facing the president.nnThe release of the report is likely to intensify partisan tensions and spark calls for a deeper inquiry into Trump’s past conduct. While the White House denies any wrongdoing, the committee’s findings have renewed focus on the victims and their stories. As the 2026 midterm elections approach, the report could become a flashpoint in the national debate over accountability and justice for survivors
