Democrats on the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives have released a new report on President Donald Trump's possible involvement in the sex crimes of financier Jeffrey Epstein. The document contains materials concerning 11 women, five of whom, according to the authors, directly accused Trump of rape or sexual assault under circumstances related to Epstein.
The 53-page report was presented on October 26 by the leading Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, Jamie Raskin.
The document was prepared by Democratic staffers based on interviews with witnesses, FBI materials, and previously released documents from the Epstein case. The authors claim that the collected testimony indicates the possible involvement of Trump and former official of his administration Paolo Zampolli in criminal activity related to the sexual exploitation of young women in the 1990s.
One of the main new elements of the report is detailed testimony from former beauty pageant contestant Beatrice Keul. She told committee staff that Trump raped her at New York's Plaza Hotel in November 1993 during a beauty pageant.
According to the woman, before the incident Trump promised to help her get an American visa and admission to New York University. Later she was contacted by Epstein, who also offered help and invited her to attend an event at the Mar-a-Lago residence.
Keul stated that after the alleged assault Trump demanded her silence. She has previously publicly spoken about Trump's behavior, but the new report is the first to include such a detailed account of her accusations.
Among other testimonies, the authors cite the statement of former model Stacey Williams. She claimed that Trump touched her without consent in his office at Trump Tower while Epstein was present.
The report also mentions a 1997 lawsuit by Jill Harth in which she accused Trump of sexual harassment and assault during a meeting at Mar-a-Lago. Separate materials relate to accusations of assault against minors that previously appeared in FBI documents.
However, not all 11 women directly accused the U.S. president of sexual assault. Some testimony concerns the circumstances of meeting Trump, contacts with Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, and possible attempts to recruit women for sexual exploitation.
The authors of the report separately accused the U.S. Department of Justice of concealing part of the Epstein case materials and obstructing further investigation.
In particular, the Democrats claim that during the interview with Ghislaine Maxwell in July 2025, Todd Blanche, who was then Deputy Attorney General of the United States, repeatedly stopped discussion of the testimony of one of the victims, whose words could relate to Trump.
According to the authors, these circumstances require additional examination for possible obstruction of the investigation.
Jamie Raskin called for the appointment of an independent special counsel to investigate possible involvement of other individuals in Epstein's crimes, as well as to examine the actions of Department of Justice officials. The Democrats are demanding full congressional access to the case materials.
The White House categorically rejected the accusations. According to Spectrum News, presidential administration spokesperson Lauren Boebert said that none of the allegations are true, and called the report a politically motivated attempt by Democrats to discredit Trump.
According to the spokesperson, Trump at one time expelled Epstein from the Mar-a-Lago club. The administration also insists that the president is fully exonerated of any involvement in the financier's crimes.
At the same time, the document released by the Democrats is a report by staff of the minority party of the Judiciary Committee, not the result of a judicial proceeding. The accusations contained in it do not by themselves prove Trump's criminal guilt. In particular, according to People, no charges have been filed in the criminal case based on Beatrice Keul's statement.
Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in 2019 on federal charges of sexual exploitation of minors. He died that same year in a New York jail before standing trial. His accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty in 2021 of crimes related to the sexual exploitation of underage girls.
