Democrats Level New Rape Accusation Against Donald Trump

Key Points:

• Beatrice Keul, a former beauty pageant contestant, alleges that Donald Trump raped her in 1993 at his Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City after meeting with Jeffrey Epstein, according to a House Judiciary Committee report by House Democrats.
• The report links Trump's alleged sexual misconduct to a broader pattern of behavior during his association with Epstein, suggesting Trump was involved in Epstein’s sexual abuse network and accusing the Trump administration of obstructing justice by withholding Epstein-related documents.
• Democrats plan to use subpoena power to investigate further if they regain control of the House, emphasizing the need for a special counsel to examine Epstein’s co-conspirators and potential DOJ cover-up.
• The White House denies all allegations, calling the report a political distraction and highlighting that Trump had previously expelled Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club.
• The report also raises concerns about potential obstruction of justice by Attorney General Todd Blanche related to his handling of Ghislaine Maxwell, an Epstein accomplice, and draws parallels between Keul’s allegations and other accusers, including E. Jean Carroll, who won a civil case against Trump for sexual abuse.
