Stacey Williams alleged this week that former President Donald Trump groped her at Trump Tower in early 1993 as disgraced hedge fund manager Jeffrey Epstein watched.
The former model made the allegation during a video chat of sexual violence survivors supporting Vice President Kamala Harris ' campaign.
Williams' allegation is the latest in a lengthy list of accusations made against Trump, including by E. Jean Carroll, who has been locked in a legal battle with the businessman-turned-president after a jury found him liable in 2023 for sexually assaulting the advice columnist in 1996 and later for defaming her.
The allegations against Trump go back decades and include those described in the 바카라Access Hollywood바카라 tape, a 2005 video made public weeks before Election Day 2016 that showed the then-reality television star bragging about grabbing, forcibly kissing and sexually assaulting women.
Williams said on the video call that she met and began seeing Epstein in 1992. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial in New York for a series of sex trafficking charges, sparking rampant conspiracy theories.
The former model said the two were walking down Fifth Avenue in 바카라late winter, early spring바카라 of 1993 when Epstein suggested they 바카라stop by and see Trump".
바카라So we went into Trump Tower and went up the elevator. And moments later, Trump was greeting us and he pulled me into him and started groping me,바카라 Williams recalled.
바카라He put his hands all over my breasts, my waist, my butt. And I froze. And I froze because I was so deeply confused about what was happening because the hands were moving all over me.바카라
Karoline Leavitt, a Trump spokeswoman, called the allegations 바카라unequivocally false바카라 and argued they were politically motivated.
Williams said Epstein and Trump 바카라were, like, smiling at one another and continuing on in their conversation바카라.
At the time of the alleged incident, Trump was in his mid-40s, while Williams was in her mid-20s.
When the two left, Williams said, there was 바카라seething rage바카라 by Epstein, who swiftly began 바카라berating바카라 her once they got to the sidewalk.
바카라He kept saying, 'Why did you let him do that? Why did you let him put his hands all over you?' And he made me feel so disgusting,바카라 she recalled, adding later that she 바카라felt so humiliated and so sick to my stomach and was so upset바카라.
As she 바카라absorbed what happened바카라, however, Williams said she felt like there was some 바카라sort of sick bet or game바카라 between Trump and Epstein and that she was 바카라rolled in there like a piece of meat for some kind of challenge or twisted game바카라.
Williams added that 바카라not long after바카라 that meeting in Trump Tower she received a postcard from Trump. Williams said her agent received the postcard, via courier, from Trump.
Williams' team provided The Associated Press with images of the postcard. One side is a photo of Palm Beach and Mar-a-Lago, the former president's resort in Florida, and the other side is writing allegedly from Trump. 바카라Stacey, your home away from home. Love, Donald,바카라 reads the postcard.
The organiser of the Survivors for Kamala video call said this week's meeting was not affiliated with the Harris campaign and was an outside gathering of sexual violence survivors and advocate organisations.
The Harris campaign declined on Friday to comment on the allegations. A member of Williams' team said she has had no contact with the Harris campaign.
In an interview with CNN after the video call, Williams called the encounter with Trump 바카라one of the strangest moments of my life바카라.
바카라I think I probably was trying to smile and go through the motions of being engaged the way you would in a social situation. But it was an out-of-body experience,바카라 she said. 바카라So, I don't know if I spoke, I don't know if I answered questions, I don't know.바카라
Although Trump has sought to distance himself from Epstein in recent years, he told New York Magazine in 2002 that he had known 바카라Jeff바카라 for 15 years.
바카라Terrific guy,바카라 Trump told the magazine. 바카라He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it 바카라 Jeffrey enjoys his social life.바카라
Trump has faced allegations of sexual misconduct and assault for years, all of which he has denied. Many of these allegations followed the publishing of the 바카라Access Hollywood바카라 tape in 2016. While the moment was perilous for Trump's campaign, he went on to win the 2016 election and the allegations against him have not slowed his political rise.
Williams told CNN that she chose not to come forward earlier due to family considerations.
바카라You want to be really, really ready, and I wasn't,바카라 Williams told the network. 바카라I think there's an evolution to contending with your abuse, or these types of incidents, and it doesn't happen overnight.바카라
