A woman who had accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her told congressional staff it was rape, according to a new report

Beatrice Keul, a model and former Miss Switzerland, alleged to Judiciary Committee staff that she was raped by Trump in a Plaza Hotel suite in Manhattan when she was 24. Keul said that while attending the American Dream Pageant, which had a partnership with Trump, she met with Trump at a press luncheon at the event.

Trump, according to Keul, promised to arrange her visa in the U.S. and ensure her acceptance into New York University through his friend Paolo Zampolli, a close Trump ally who was, until earlier this month, part of his Administration. At the same event, she also spent at least 10 minutes talking to Epstein who she said claimed to have organized “many parties with Don.”

Later that day, Keul alleges, Trump invited her to a hotel suite where Trump “grabbed Keul from behind and forcibly raped her,” causing “bleeding and bruising on multiple parts of her body,” the report says. Following the incident, Keul alleges Trump made her promise she would keep quiet and repeated his promise for visa and college admission.

Because Keul’s passport had been taken from her on her arrival, she was not able to leave the contest following the incident, she alleges, according to the report. After she returned to Switzerland, she declined to participate in an additional Trump-sponsored pageant in Hawaii several weeks later.

    So you’d rather the Dems “did the right thing”^(1) and kept losing?

    Wasn’t the entirety of their loss in 2024 due to them playing by the rules, taking the high road, and “doing the right thing”?

    The dilemma here is choosing between:

    • publishing this file immediately, resulting in a week or two of media flurry before it’s buried by the avalanche of shit Paedo In Chief paddles constantly, resulting in zero justice being served
    • publishing this file at a time where it can be helpful, so the victims get at least some form of justice when Dems are elected (and hopefully push for reform and maybe even a criminal investigation)

    ^(1) Is it even the right thing to blow a case up knowing it will have no effect beyond MAGA shitstains harassing the victims to no end? That the victims will never see justice?
