Last US election: Trump defends himself against former chief of staff of the “lowlife” | US News

A former model has accused Donald Trump of groping and sexually touching her at his Trump Tower home in 1993.

Stacy Williams, who worked as a model in the 1990s, told The Guardian newspaper that she first met Mr Trump at a Christmas party in 1992 after being introduced to him by the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Ms. Williams, 56, told the newspaper that Epstein was interested in her and they dated casually for a few months.

A few months later, in the late winter or spring of 1993, she said she was walking with Epstein when they stopped at Trump Tower and that Mr. Trump placed his hands “over my breasts” and over her waist and buttocks.

She told the Guardian that she froze when it happened because she was “deeply confused” about what was going on.

Ms. Williams said Mr. Trump sent her agent a postcard in late 1993 with an aerial view of Mar-a-Lago, his Palm Beach residence and resort.

She shared the postcard with The Guardian and it shows Mr Trump’s handwriting, seemingly in his trademark black felt-tip pen. He wrote: “Stacey – your second home. I love Donald.”

Ms. Williams has previously shared parts of her claim on social media, but revealed the full details of the alleged encounter on Monday during a call organized by a group called Survivors for Kamala, which supports the Democratic candidate.

After the alleged incident, Ms. Williams said she felt Epstein becoming angry with her and he blamed her for what Mr. Trump allegedly did.

She said she felt the alleged incident was part of a “twisted game”, adding: “I felt shame and disgust as we went our separate ways.”

Donald Trump’s campaign press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, issued a statement to the Guardian categorically denying the allegations.

The newspaper said the statement said, in part: “These allegations, made by a former campaigner for Barack Obama and announced at a Harris campaign call two weeks before the election, are clearly false.”

“It is obvious that this fake story was created by the Harris campaign.”

In all, about two dozen women have accused the former president of decades of sexual misconduct, and last year a jury found him liable for the 1996 sexual abuse of columnist E. Jean Carroll.

No evidence has emerged that Mr. Trump was aware of or involved in the misconduct committed by Epstein — even though the two had known each other for decades.
