### Former Model Accuses Trump of Sexual Misconduct Linked to Epstein

Stacey Williams, a former model, has come forward with allegations against Donald Trump, claiming that the former president groped her during an encounter in Trump Tower in 1993. Williams, who rose to prominence in the 1990s, revealed these details during a recent Zoom call organized by the advocacy group Survivors for Kamala, which supports Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

Williams recounts that she first met Trump at a Christmas party in 1992 through Jeffrey Epstein, whom she was casually dating at the time. Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in prison in 2019, was a close friend of Trump, Williams noted. According to Williams, the alleged groping incident occurred in the late winter or early spring of 1993, when Epstein took her to visit Trump at his New York City residence.

Upon their arrival at Trump Tower, Williams alleges that Trump greeted her by immediately groping her, placing his hands on her breasts, waist, and buttocks. She recalls feeling confused and paralyzed by the incident, noticing Epstein and Trump smiling at each other during the encounter. Williams says that she later received a postcard from Trump depicting an aerial view of Mar-a-Lago, with a handwritten message inviting her to consider it her "home away from home."

Karoline Leavitt, press secretary for Trump's campaign, issued a strong denial of these allegations, suggesting they are politically motivated, given Williams' past activism for Barack Obama and the proximity of the upcoming election. The statement dismisses the claims as a contrived story by the Harris campaign.

During the Zoom call, Williams described feeling shame and repulsion after the encounter, experiencing Epstein's anger and beratement as they left Trump Tower. This incident led to the end of her relationship with Epstein, who is now regarded as one of the most prolific pedophiles in recent history.

Williams has shared parts of her story on social media in the past but had refrained from going public in detail due to fear of backlash and a desire for privacy. She finally felt empowered to speak out, bolstered by the courage of other survivors and the support from groups like Survivors for Kamala.

This new allegation adds to the numerous accusations against Trump, who has faced claims from about two dozen women alleging various forms of sexual misconduct. While Trump has consistently denied these accusations, the claims contribute to the ongoing scrutiny of his previous associations, including his long-term relationship with Epstein.
