US President Donald Trump has been accused of rape by Beatrice Keul, a former Miss Switzerland contestant who previously alleged that he groped her during an encounter in November 1993, according to a report released by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee.
The 53-page report examines allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump and his alleged connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It includes accounts from interviews Keul gave to Democratic congressional staff, in which she alleged that Trump raped her in a hotel room at his Plaza Hotel property in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The White House has dismissed the allegations as politically motivated. Trump has not been charged with a crime in connection with Keul’s claims.
Former Miss Switzerland Details Alleged Assault
Keul, who was 24 at the time of the alleged incident, had previously spoken publicly about unwanted sexual advances by Trump. In the account documented in the congressional report, she alleged that the encounter involved rape and described the alleged assault as “brutal.”
According to the report, Keul said the incident occurred after she spent time with Trump and Epstein. She alleged that a representative for Trump later invited her to meet him upstairs at the Plaza Hotel.
“Upon entering, Trump reportedly grabbed Keul from behind and forcibly raped her; in the process, he tore her dress and caused bleeding and bruising on multiple parts of her body,” the report claimed.
Keul also alleged that, following the incident, Trump sat her on the edge of the bed and reiterated promises to help her obtain a US visa and secure admission to New York University.
According to the report, Trump also made her promise to remain silent, telling her, “[T]he show must go on.”
How Keul Allegedly Met Trump and Epstein
Keul travelled to the United States in November 1993 to participate in the Donald J. Trump American Dream Pageant, a beauty competition associated with Trump. She had been recruited for the event by Jill Harth, who was involved in its organisation.
At a press luncheon held at the Plaza Hotel, Trump allegedly offered to help Keul obtain a US visa and gain admission to New York University. According to the congressional report, he told her, “I will take care of you.”
Keul also met Epstein during the event. In her account, she said Epstein introduced himself as “Don’s best friend” and offered to pay for her travel and accommodation to attend a party at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property in Florida.
The report places these interactions within the broader context of the Democrats’ investigation into Trump’s alleged ties to Epstein and allegations of sexual misconduct against the president.
