**Former Model Accuses Donald Trump of Groping in 1993, with Epstein Present**

In a recent video call with fellow survivors of sexual violence supporting Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign, former model Stacey Williams accused Donald Trump of groping her in early 1993 at Trump Tower, as Jeffrey Epstein looked on. Williams’ allegation is one among many that have surfaced against the former president, joining a list that includes accusations made by E. Jean Carroll. Carroll has been engaged in a legal dispute with Trump since a jury found him liable in 2023 for sexually assaulting the advice columnist in 1996 and subsequently defaming her.

Williams explained that she began seeing Epstein in 1992. During a stroll on Fifth Avenue in early 1993, Epstein suggested visiting Trump at Trump Tower. Williams recalled that upon their arrival, Trump greeted them, pulled her close, and started groping her. She said Trump's hands roamed all over her body, leaving her frozen in shock and confusion. Trump’s spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, dismissed Williams’ accusations as "unequivocally false" and politically motivated.

After leaving Trump Tower, Williams remembered Epstein expressing “seething rage” and berating her on the sidewalk, making her feel deeply humiliated and disgusted. As she reflected more on the incident, she began to suspect that she had been used in some sort of "sick bet or game" between Trump and Epstein. Not long after this encounter, Williams said she received a postcard from Trump, featuring a photo of Palm Beach and Mar-a-Lago with a message that read, "Stacey, your home away from home. Love, Donald."

While Trump has recently attempted to distance himself from Epstein, in a 2002 New York Magazine interview, Trump praised Epstein, calling him a "terrific guy" and acknowledged Epstein's fondness for beautiful, young women. Despite the numerous allegations of sexual misconduct that have been made against him, Trump has consistently denied all claims and has managed to maintain his political standing, even winning the 2016 presidential election after the "Access Hollywood" tape scandal.

Williams clarified her decision to come forward now, citing the evolution needed to deal with such traumatic events, and not being ready earlier due to family considerations. The Survivors for Harris video call was an independent event not affiliated with the Harris campaign, and the Harris campaign has not commented on the allegations. Williams mentioned that she has not had any contact with the Harris campaign.
