Historic allegation against Trump was revived and allegations upgraded in report released by Judiciary Committee Democrats days before the midterm elections. The White House has strongly denied the claims

Donald Trump is accused of raping a former Miss Switzerland in a report probing the president’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein released by House of Representatives Democrats this week.

Beatrice Keul, a retired model and beauty pageant contestant, told the House Judiciary Committee about an incident alleged to have taken place at New York’s Plaza Hotel in 1993. The report, released a week ahead of the midterm elections, also summarizes previously reported allegations from four other women against Trump.

The White House has strongly denied all of the reports’ claims, accusing “crazed” Democrats of “a desperate attempt to distract Americans” and insisting that the president has been “fully exonerated of anything related to Epstein.”

Keul previously claimed in October 2024 that Trump had sexually assaulted her at a beauty pageant staged at the Plaza Hotel, which Trump then owned.

“The president may have raped someone, but we need to double down on the made up rape threat that transgender people pose to women!”

-Republicans, demonstrably.

        “I hate to say it but we don’t know the fire started here. All we have are the firefighter’s reports about how there was a guy with a campfire here, The guy’s proven record of starting fires, and a statement from a witness saying he did it.”

        Fuck off dude

          The good thing is to assert that he did it because he’s a scumbag. The correct thing is to preserve the presumption of innocence because that’s a reflection on us and it’s a slippery slope to people picked up on the street for jaywalking and being incarcerated for their healthy valuable organs.

          Being good and being correct can be at odds, but you need to one day understand why that’s okay.

            In court, sure. This isn’t court and you’re not his lawyer. This is a web forum and it’s fucking wild how people suddenly jump to his defense when hard evidence of yet another rape comes up.
