Former model Stacey Williams says she was groped by Donald Trump at Trump Tower in 1993 while her then boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein watched.
Williams said the incident happened when she was in her twenties. Epstein was in his forties. She described it as “some sort of twisted game.”
Speaking Out After Epstein Files Are Released
Williams spoke on The Daily Beast Podcast as long awaited federal files tied to Epstein were released.
The files were made public on schedule but were heavily redacted. Large sections of text, names, and details were blacked out. As a result, the release provided limited new information and left many questions unanswered.
How Williams Says She Met Epstein
Williams said she met Epstein at a dinner party with other models. They briefly dated.
Months later, she said, Epstein led her to Trump Tower during a walk and urged her to stop by and see Trump.
“He walked me into Trump Tower to be groped, assaulted by Donald Trump while the two men stood there and walked and talked as it was happening,” she said.
Trump and Epstein’s Relationship
Trump and Epstein were friends for years before a later falling out.
Williams said Epstein repeatedly directed her toward Trump Tower and appeared intent on arranging the meeting.
Inside the building, she said Trump spoke about her career and began touching her.
“He Watched It Happen”
Williams said Epstein did not intervene.
“I do remember little snippets of Trump saying, ‘Oh yeah, her career is on fire,’” she said. “Jeffrey just kept watching.”
She said Epstein later became angry with her, accusing her of allowing the incident to happen.
Williams believes Epstein expected a different outcome.
“Either it was some sort of twisted game,” she said. “Maybe it was a bet. I do not know, but I am confident that that is what occurred.”
Ending the Relationship
Williams said she ended her relationship with Epstein soon afterward.
She told him he needed help and that something was deeply wrong with him. She said he became emotional when she cut off contact.
Earlier Public Allegations
Williams has previously described the incident, saying Trump came out of his office and groped her while continuing a casual conversation with Epstein.
She first went public during a “Survivors for Kamala” Zoom call last year. She later told NBC News that she had no contact with the Kamala Harris campaign.
White House Response
The White House rejected Williams’ claims and said they were politically motivated.
Officials said the allegations were false and accused Democrats and the media of using them as a distraction.
Fallout From the Redacted Release
The Epstein files were released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, but the heavy redactions have drawn criticism.
California Democrat Ro Khanna, a co author of the law, warned that releasing documents without meaningful detail undermines the purpose of transparency and accountability.
