Allegations of a Close Friendship

Stacey Williams, a former model who dated Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s, has made claims about the close relationship between Epstein and US President Donald Trump. In an interview with CNN’s Brianna Keilar, Williams described Trump as Epstein’s “bro” and “wingman,” asserting that the two were “best friends” and often “up to no good.” She recounted that during her time with Epstein, Trump was frequently mentioned in their conversations, highlighting the depth of their friendship.

Trump’s Presence in Epstein’s Life

Williams detailed how Trump was a constant figure in Epstein’s life, recalling an instance when Epstein expressed concern for Trump’s well-being. According to Williams, Epstein once suggested checking in on Trump because he was upset about an unspecified incident. This anecdote underscores the personal bond between the two men, as described by Williams.

Rekindling Connections at a Trump-Hosted Event

Williams also shared memories of meeting Ghislaine Maxwell at Epstein’s New York residence and noted that her relationship with Epstein was rekindled at a Christmas party hosted by Trump at the Plaza Hotel in 1992. She emphasized the closeness between Trump and Epstein during this period.

Allegations of Misconduct

In her CNN appearance, Williams elaborated on an alleged incident from 1993 at Trump Tower, where she accused Trump of inappropriate behavior. She described being groped by Trump while he and Epstein continued their conversation as if nothing was amiss. Williams recalled feeling shocked and frozen during the encounter, which she described as part of a “weird, twisted game” between the two men.

Trump’s Denial and Legal Actions

Trump has consistently denied all allegations related to Epstein. Following Williams’s previous accusations, his campaign labeled her claims as false. Recently, Trump filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and its parent company over an article involving a note allegedly signed by him in Epstein’s 2003 birthday album. The note reportedly contained a crude doodle and message, which Trump has denied writing, calling it “fake.” The WSJ stands by its reporting despite Trump’s legal actions.
