UPDATE: Former model Stacey Williams has made explosive allegations, claiming that Donald Trump groped her in Trump Tower in 1993 while her then-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein looked on. Williams, now 57, shared her harrowing experience during an interview on The Daily Beast Podcast, just days before the July 7, 2023 deadline for the release of remaining Epstein files.
In this urgent revelation, Williams recounted how her relationship with Epstein led her to Trump Tower for what she described as “some sort of twisted game.” She stated, “Epstein kept directing me toward Trump Tower while we were out on a walk and convinced me to ‘just drop by and see him.’” During this encounter, Williams alleges that Trump assaulted her while maintaining a casual conversation with Epstein.
The former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model highlighted the bizarre dynamic, explaining, “He’s just moving his hands sort of up and down my body and, like, smiling at him. And Jeffrey smiling back.” Williams expressed her disbelief at Epstein’s reaction, stating he later “raged at me in the elevator” for allowing the incident to happen.
This shocking account comes as the Department of Justice faces pressure to release federal investigation files related to Epstein by the impending deadline. Ro Khanna, co-author of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, warned that failure to comply could result in serious consequences for Justice Department officials.
In a previous interview, Williams mentioned she ended her relationship with Epstein shortly after the incident, telling him, “You are extremely mentally ill and you need to get help.” She described his emotional response, noting, “he got weepy. He was very sad.”
These allegations have ignited a political storm, with the White House labeling them as “unequivocally false.” Abigail Jackson, a White House spokesperson, stated, “Democrats and the mainstream media are desperately trying to use this hoax as a distraction.” Similarly, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed the accusations were politically motivated, referencing Williams’ past activism.
As the deadline approaches, the public is left wondering how these developments will affect the ongoing scrutiny of Trump and Epstein’s connections. The urgency of this situation is compounded by the impending release of the Epstein files, which may reveal more about the relationships and activities surrounding these controversial figures.
