Former Miss Switzerland, Beatrice Keul, told Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee that while she was in the U.S. for a pageant in 1993, the adjudicated rapist and worst president ever raped her in a hotel suite in New York after she interacted with Trump and his then-associate Jeffrey Epstein.
She told staff members on the committee that she met Trump at a press luncheon for the American Dream Pageant at the Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned at the time.
“During their at least 15-minute introductory conversation, Trump promised Keul that he would arrange a visa for her, stating that ‘Paolo’—a reference to Paolo Zampolli—would ‘take care of that,’” the report said. “Trump further stated that he personally would ensure her acceptance into New York University (NYU). And he repeatedly offered to take care of her and arrange her travel, insisting either ‘I will take care of you’ or, when she said she could handle her own visa, ‘No no, my friend Paolo will take care of that.’”
(Incidentally, Zampolli left the Trump administration this month after a fight over email.)

Judiciary Democrats’ Report Details Mounting Evidence Linking Trump to Epstein’s Criminal Activities and DOJ’s Cover-Up; Specific Accounts Involving 11 Women Provide More Evidence of Potential Sex Crimes
Key findings and survivor accounts include:
- Trump and Epstein Shared a World Built Around Young Models. In the 1990s, both men moved through New York modeling agencies, pageants and parties where young women and girls were recruited and often exploited. Trump hosted Elite Model Management competitions for teenage models and had close ties to Elite founder and known pedophile John Casablancas and modeling agent Paolo Zampolli. FBI records describe multiple young models who had a sexual relationship with Zampolli or were connected to Zampolli’s agency who subsequently were sexually assaulted by Epstein.
- A former longtime Epstein assistant told the FBI that Epstein introduced Melania to Donald Trump, contradicting Zampolli’s account.
- Women Describe Sexual Assault and Other Troubling Encounters Involving Trump and Epstein. Five women have directly accused Trump of rape or sexual assault in Epstein’s company or presence. Three others describe encounters in which Epstein or Maxwell appeared to offer women to Trump or indicate that Trump was “in” on Epstein’s abuse. Their accounts and stories, when told together, paint an unmistakable picture of a conspiracy to abuse and traffic women.
- Beatrice Keul told Committee staff that Trump raped her in a Plaza Hotel suite during his November 1993 American Dream Pageant. Keul said Trump promised that Zampolli would arrange her visa while Trump would arrange for admission to New York University; Epstein then approached her, introduced himself as “Don’s best friend” and offered to cover her travel and accommodations for a party at Mar-a-Lago. Following her brutal rape that same day, Keul said Trump pressed her to keep quiet and later called her in Switzerland to renew his offers for a visa and admission to NYU – similar offers Epstein made to his victims. While Keul had previously discussed Trump’s conduct, the report presents more information about the assault than previously offered, as well as corroborating evidence from others present at the pageant.
- Stacey Williams said Trump groped her in his Trump Tower office while Epstein stood beside them. Williams said the men smiled and continued talking during the assault; Epstein then berated her for allowing Trump to touch her.
- Jill Harth alleged in a 1997 lawsuit that Trump forcibly kissed and fondled her at Mar-a-Lago during a gathering at which she and her former spouse said Epstein was the only other male present. Harth also alleged that Trump assaulted another young model that night.
- Trump’s Repeated Denials Contradict the Record. Trump has minimized his friendship with Epstein, denied knowing about his crimes and made specific claims about their relationship that conflict with documents and witness accounts. Some of the information impeaching Trump’s self-serving account is hidden behind redactions in the Epstein files. For example:
