Donald Trump Accused Of Raping Former Miss Switzerland Beatrice Keul At Plaza Hotel In 1993

Former Miss Switzerland Beatrice Keul alleges that President Donald Trump raped her at the Plaza Hotel in New York City in November 1993, according to a new report released by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee examining Trump’s alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. The report presents Keul’s account in detail for the first time and alleges that Trump, Epstein and others used the Donald J. Trump American Dream Pageant, a competition for young women ages 16 to 22, as a “‘hunting ground’ to prey on vulnerable young women and girls. Trump has not been charged with a crime in connection with Keul’s allegations. White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis denied the allegations and reiterated the administration’s position regarding the president’s ties to Epstein. “None of these allegations are true,” Bis said. “This ‘report’ is nothing more than a desperate attempt by crazed Democrats to distract Americans from the surging Republican momentum driven by President Trump’s historic achievements. The President kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club at Mar-a-Lago because he was a creep, and he has been fully exonerated of anything related to Epstein.” According to the report, Keul was 24 and working as a model and financial services professional when she was recruited by Jill Harth to attend the November 1993 pageant in Atlantic City and New York. During a press luncheon at the then-Trump-owned Plaza Hotel, Trump allegedly approached Keul and promised to help her obtain a visa and gain admission to New York University, according to her account in an interview with committee staff cited in the report. Epstein allegedly approached Keul shortly afterward and made similar promises, including an invitation to attend a party at Mar-a-Lago. Later that day, a Trump representative allegedly invited Keul upstairs to meet with him. According to the report, Keul believed the meeting could help advance her career and education. Once inside a suite, Trump allegedly grabbed her from behind and raped her, tearing her dress and causing bleeding and bruising on multiple parts of her body. Keul described the alleged assault as “brutal.” Following the alleged assault, Trump repeated his promises to help Keul with a visa and NYU admission and made her promise to remain silent, telling her, “[T]he show must go on,” according to the report. Keul finished the pageant in a terrified “daze” and returned to Switzerland, declining to participate in another Trump-sponsored pageant in Hawaii several weeks later, the report alleges. Several months after the alleged assault, Trump called her in Switzerland and again offered to help her obtain a visa and admission to NYU, but she declined. The House Judiciary Democrats’ report cites other accounts that it says support its allegations, including a 1997 sexual assault lawsuit filed by Harth against Trump. The report also draws comparisons between the alleged promises Trump made to Keul and accounts from women who told the committee that Epstein used promises of education and career opportunities to recruit and control victims. The White House’s denial comes amid previous sexual abuse allegations against Trump,
