Jeffrey Epstein haunts GOP in midterms as Democrats vow fresh probes

House Democrats say 11 women’s accounts and a new rape allegation justify an independent probe into Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

  • On Monday, House Judiciary Committee Democrats released a 53-page staff report alleging President Donald Trump was an "active participant" in Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of young women, formally demanding an independent special counsel to investigate.
  • The document consolidates accounts from 11 women, five accusing Trump of rape or sexual assault during the 1990s, with evidence suggesting Trump and Epstein were "fiercely competitive in their pursuits of women and girls."
  • Allegations include a new account from Beatrice Keul, a former Swiss pageant contestant, who claims Trump raped her at the Plaza Hotel in 1993, while the report accuses Attorney General Todd Blanche of witness tampering during a Maxwell interview.
  • White House spokesperson Lauren Bis rejected the allegations as "a desperate attempt by crazed Democrats to distract Americans," asserting Trump has been "fully exonerated of anything related to Epstein."
  • With midterm elections arriving next Tuesday, Democrats signaled that winning House control would grant subpoena power to pursue an impeachment investigation into Trump's ties to Epstein and alleged criminal conduct.
