Democratic report brings together five sexual assault accusations against Trump

A 53-page report published by Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee brings together 11 accounts about Donald Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Five women directly accuse Trump of rape or sexual assault, including former Swiss model Beatrice Keul, who says she was raped in 1993, according to the report’s authors.

Democratic members of the US House Judiciary Committee have published a 53-page report bringing together testimony from 11 women about links between Donald Trump, President of the United States, and Jeffrey Epstein, a financier prosecuted for sex trafficking of minors. Five directly accuse Donald Trump of rape or sexual assault, according to Seneweb.

The report’s authors are calling for an independent criminal investigation into possible ties between the US president and Jeffrey Epstein, who died in prison in 2019. Three other women describe being introduced to the billionaire by Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, while the remaining accounts are based on second-hand reports or documents, according to Seneweb.

Among the accusers is Beatrice Keul, a former model and Miss Switzerland finalist. She says Donald Trump assaulted her in November 1993 in a suite at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, after she took part in a beauty pageant organised by the US president. She now describes the incident as rape, whereas she previously called it sexual assault.

The White House has categorically rejected the accusations and denounced them as a political manoeuvre. The report comes after Democratic lawmakers called for an investigation into Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein on 26 October 2026.
