It’s been eight years since the infamous Access Hollywood tape pushed dozens of women to go public with allegations of sexual misconduct against Donald Trump. Since then, a handful of other accusers have come forward, Trump won and then lost the presidency, and a jury found found him liable for sexual abuse. Now, as polls show Trump a hair’s breadth away from winning the presidency again, two more women shared their experiences for the first time: Former model Stacey Williams and former beauty queen Beatrice Keul both have accused Trump of forcibly groping them in 1993.
Trump denied both stories through his campaign, as he’s denied every such accusation against him. “These people are horrible people. They’re horrible, horrible liars,” Trump said in 2016, after the first wave of accusers came forward.
Williams says she was casually dating the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein in 1992 when he introduced her to Trump at a Christmas party, according to The Guardian. Several months later, she claims, she was out on a walk with Epstein when he suggested they stop at Trump Tower. Within moments of arriving and greeting Trump, Williams alleges, he pulled her toward him and groped her breasts, waist, and buttocks. She says she froze and was “deeply confused” about Trump’s actions, and she believes that both men smiled at each other.
Williams, now 56, shared her allegations for the first time during a Zoom call organized by Survivors for Kamala, a group supporting Vice-President Kamala Harris’s campaign. The Guardian also spoke with two of Williams’s friends, who said she told them about the incident years ago. “What I recall is that it was groping,” one friend who Williams told around 2005 or 2006 said. “What we would call feeling someone up.”
“These accusations, made by a former activist for Barack Obama and announced on a Harris Campaign call two weeks before the election, are unequivocally false,” Trump’s press secretary Karolina Leavitt said in a statement.
Keul, a Swiss model, told the Daily Mail that after participating in the Miss Switzerland and Miss Europe pageants in 1992, she received an invitation and all-expenses-paid trip to compete in the Donald J. Trump American Dream Pageant. She traveled from Zurich to Atlantic City, where the pageant was held, in November 1993. She claims she first met Trump when the competition bused the contestants to an event at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, which he owned at the time. Keul says that after a press luncheon, one of Trump’s staffers told her that he wanted to meet her privately and took her up to a suite. There, Keul alleges Trump immediately forcibly kissed her on the lips and neck, groped her, and tried to lift her dress. Following the meeting, she told the Daily Mail, she stayed quiet because she was afraid of being alone in a foreign country. But she did tell friends over the years, including one who corroborated that Keul shared her story with him around 2004.
“These accusations from more than 30 years ago are false. This fake story is coming out 6 days before the election in a Hail-Mary attempt by the Democrats to derail President Trump’s momentum over Kamala Harris,” Leavitt said in a statement.
With less than a week to go until Election Day, it’s unclear how, if at all, the new accusers’ stories will affect Trump’s presidential bid. Previous allegations in October 2016 and beyond have done little to nothing to slow down his political momentum. In case you’re having trouble keeping up, here’s a list of every accusation against the former president in chronological order.
