House Democrats Call for Special Counsel in Epstein Investigation

The report cites 11 women and says Justice Department officials withheld evidence while Democrats seek an independent probe into possible co-conspirators.

  • On Monday, House Judiciary Committee Democrats released a 53-page report calling for an independent special counsel to investigate President Donald Trump's alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein and potential obstruction of justice by the Justice Department.
  • The report consolidates accounts from 11 women alleging sexual misconduct by Trump in the 1990s, including a new claim from former pageant contestant Beatrice Keul, who told staff Trump raped her in 1993.
  • Keul described the 1993 encounter at the Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City as 'brutal,' alleging Trump grabbed her from behind, tore her dress, and caused bruising after promising to arrange a visa and New York University admission.
  • White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis denounced the report as a 'desperate attempt by crazed Democrats to distract Americans,' asserting that Trump has been 'fully exonerated of anything related to Epstein.'
  • Should Democrats retake the House of Representatives in January, the Judiciary Committee is positioned to lead potential impeachment proceedings, using the report as a strategic roadmap for future investigations.
