Donald Trump is accused of raping a former Miss Switzerland in a report probing the president’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein released by House of Representatives Democrats this week.

Beatrice Keul, a retired model and beauty pageant contestant, told the House Judiciary Committee about an incident alleged to have taken place at New York’s Plaza Hotel in 1993. The report, released a week ahead of the midterm elections, also summarizes previously reported allegations from four other women against Trump.

The White House has strongly denied all of the reports’ claims, accusing “crazed” Democrats of “a desperate attempt to distract Americans” and insisting that the president has been “fully exonerated of anything related to Epstein.”

Keul previously claimed in October 2024 that Trump had sexually assaulted her at a beauty pageant staged at the Plaza Hotel, which Trump then owned.

"The president may have raped someone, but we need to double down on the made up rape threat that transgender people pose to women!"

-Republicans, demonstrably.

She's his Ivanka type, there's no doubt about that.

Let's walk through what any of these women stand to gain by coming forward::

  • Physical harrassment
  • Emotional harrassment by media, magas, politicians (the president being the top one) and the police
  • Bringing up past trauma over and over while being called a liar
  • Always being known as a victim
    TW
  • Depending on what you think happened, you're suicided or you give in to the darkness

If these women did it anyway, I believe them.
