The House Judiciary Committee Democrats have released a trove of evidence
regarding allegations of sexual assault, including a new rape allegation,
against Donald Trump in relation to Jeffrey Epstein
that the lawmakers say has been deliberately covered up by the Department of Justice.
The 50-page report, released Monday,
contains testimony from 11 women who either accuse Trump of rape or sexual assault
or say that they had been offered to Trump for sex by Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell,
with most cases happening in the 1990s.
The accounts were pulled together through interviews conducted by the committee,
as well as FBI records and the portion of the Epstein files that have been released;
the evidence was cross-referenced for timelines and corroboration of testimony between alleged victims.
In all, the evidence sharply contrasts Trump’s claims that he was merely an acquaintance of Epstein,
and instead paints a picture of Trump as a serial sexual assault perpetrator who collaborated closely with Epstein to find and traffic victims.
“These women have spoken to investigators and, in some cases, testified under oath,
yet Trump’s Justice Department has shut down investigations,
deliberately withheld evidence and, through Todd Blanche,
prevented Ghislaine Maxwell from discussing a survivor whose account implicated Trump,”
said the committee’s ranking member,
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland).
“Trump’s Justice Department appears to be covering up these crimes to protect the President.”
Five women said that Trump raped or assaulted them while Epstein was present or was in his company,
as detailed in the report.
The report also reveals, for the first time,
Trump’s alleged rape of Beatrice Keul, who has previously said that Trump groped her.
