Donald Trump is accused of raping a former Miss Switzerland in a report probing the president’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein released by House of Representatives Democrats this week.
Beatrice Keul, a retired model and beauty pageant contestant, told the House Judiciary Committee about an incident alleged to have taken place at New York’s Plaza Hotel in 1993. The report, released a week ahead of the midterm elections, also summarizes previously reported allegations from four other women against Trump.
The White House has strongly denied all of the reports’ claims, accusing “crazed” Democrats of “a desperate attempt to distract Americans” and insisting that the president has been “fully exonerated of anything related to Epstein.”
Keul previously claimed in October 2024 that Trump had sexually assaulted her at a beauty pageant staged at the Plaza Hotel, which Trump then owned.
“The president may have raped someone, but we need to double down on the made up rape threat that transgender people pose to women!”
-Republicans, demonstrably.
“Fully exonorated”? By whom? When? Where?
BTW, you cannot exonorate people like Trump, who never had any honor to start with.
Can we start narrowing it down to people whom Trump hasn’t molested? Is that a shorter list yet?
Children were abused,
The perps get away with it,
Who has the power?

Ah, the “both sides are evil” shills have shown up I see.
Because they are?

Ok, now the elected officials will do something about it? Right? Right?
What do you want them to do? The DOJ works for the pedophiles.
We decided that Democrats don’t deserve votes and should be the minority party. They have no power to do anything but write memos. Why are we suddenly pissed they’re not doing more after we stopped then from being able to do more?
What did they do about trump and the Epstein files before they lost all seats of power?
Hmmmm
Checks notes, ahh, I see, wrote memos.

They did… They released a memo. What, is that not GOOD ENOUGH??
Absolutely on brand for Trump.
Its just nuts that the WH can just issue a 3 sentence press release and the story barely rates a mention.
The White House has strongly denied all of the reports’ claims, accusing “crazed” Democrats of “a desperate attempt to distract Americans” and insisting that the president has been “fully exonerated of anything related to Epstein.”
Funny, the White House started a whole ass war to distract from the Epstein files. Projection at it’s finest.
And before the 2016 election he fired off probes to HILARY’S EMAILS which was a literal nothing-burger…
…then HUNTER’S LAPTOP which was an absolute fabrication.
But documented undeniable proof that someone who has been found guilty of rape, has documented history of rape and being a pedo, and openly bragged about sexually assaulted women…yeah that’s just a baseless witch hunt
You don’t have to say ‘accused’ we fucking know he did it
Mister “grab her by the pussy”
I mean hate to say it but we don’t. If she came out and aaid OK much more likely but the Democrats being only source.
“I hate to say it but we don’t know the fire started here. All we have are the firefighter’s reports about how there was a guy with a campfire here, The guy’s proven record of starting fires, and a statement from a witness saying he did it.”
Fuck off dude
The good thing is to assert that he did it because he’s a scumbag. The correct thing is to preserve the presumption of innocence because that’s a reflection on us and it’s a slippery slope to people picked up on the street for jaywalking and being incarcerated for their healthy valuable organs.
Being good and being correct can be at odds, but you need to one day understand why that’s okay.
The Democrats’ *House Judiciary hearing at which she testified.
She DID accuse him publicly in 2024, why not just… read?
Why read when you can just doubt a woman?
And the consequences will be…?
USA! USA!
The consequences for an aqusation? I sure hope we don’t start punishing people for aqusations and this one bkt even made by the victim.
Usually the consequence for an accusation is there is an investigation, preferably a fair and unbiased one
Motherfucker. The devil does not need an advocate.
If it’s not a plus-sized intern, nobody cares.
I’ll never vote for democrats regardless
Not many people just admit to being a fascist. So brave.
I don’t live in America so I can’t vote for any of your parties
No need to call me names
I don’t live in America
Then you shouldn’t speak as if you’re able to vote
I’ll never vote for democrats regardless
Then why would you say this, other than in hopes it will discourage democratic votes, thereby keeping nazis in power?
Just because they said the don’t line hot dogs means rhey ime hamburgers. The Democrats are not exactly the ahinnkngight some make them out to be.
Are they as bad no bit they’re sti a shit sandwich.
Your choices are a shit sandwich and a shit sandwich drenched in vomit. If you refuse to choose, the choice will be made for you. Either way, you will be fed one of the sandwiches. What do you do?
autocorrect doesn’t charge by the word my dude.
I guess bots are now including misspellings to throw us off their scent. This one overdid it a little, though.
Are you suggesting you don’t know how us elections work, or more likely, you know but would prefer to pretend the truth is that you can vote for a third party without that doing a damned thing but helping Republicans?
Why do you love pedophiles so much?
The dems wouldn’t have had the balls to run this until vivek opened the door with his poor taste.
The dems don’t care. They’re just doing this so they get elected. Then if/when they’re elected, it’ll get buried again.
Why is this account only one month old, one month before the fucking election?
Also the instance I haven’t seen it before and there was a cm0002 account with that instance that appeared to have no bio?
"Democrats aren’t doing anything!
Democrats do something.
“They don’t mean it though!”
So far as I can tell, the only meaningful push to hold any Epstein pedophile accountable has come from the Dems, with the one Republican who pushed for it being ousted by the GOP and Israel.
I wouldn’t immediately jump to doomerism conclusions when so far all the evidence is pointing you in the other direction. Just get off your ass and go vote for the Dems.
These kind of defeatist comments smell like all those Harris will start WW3 astro turf comments from the last election cycle.
Sure, could be that they do the right thing for the wrong reasons. But it’s still the right thing.
So much this. I hate when people are like “they don’t really believe that” in response to some public statement. The public statement itself is important! Half a politician’s job is public speaking. What they say in public matters just as much as what they do in private, and immediately attacking someone for doing the unobjectionably right thing is self defeating.
“The opposing candidate is not perfect/only slightly better, so we may as well wallow in shit up to our noses instead of it being only up to our chest”
No one suggested not voting for them.
Unless you read this thread (or 10,000 others on Lemmy) where that sentiment is not unpopular
I think people are just sick of Coting for the same thing just different shades. I mean have the demoxrates stood up to trump no they’ve rolled over many times the past two years. I do not expect them to do any better I’d they win the senate. I hope I’m wrong but we well see.
There’s a concerted effort on lemmy to discourage votes for democrats. I think it’s obvious why that is.
Next time if you want to be taken seriously, acknowledge this well known fact, also take a moment to proofread…
In my experience a very large amount of lemmy users support an idea that you should not vote for the democrats because afterwards complatency is too easy while more of Trump may unlock a civil war revolution.
I highly disagree with it and i dont think it will work out that way. I rather fight facist-lite then cant-wait-for-an-excuse-to-bomb-“woke”-cities-facism but i do understand the logic those “users” apply.
The real question is, are those users actually real people voicing their personal opinions or are they trolls/bots. Its not a good sign how increasingly vocal they are right in front of a US election and suddenly silent afterwards. Complacent much?
My suggestion is to vote lesser evil and then the moment they win a No-kings protest, continueing to grill the entire office to make it clear their polical win comes with 0 support from the people.
I’ve literally never seen anyone on the threadiverse suggest that you should not vote for Democrats.
Wait here a second.
There we are, found it.
There are LITERAL accelerationists here that will tell you that voting is bad, because the system needs to get worse, so it can finally collapse. And they are not a small minority, though a minority they remain. They will gladly sacrifice anyone who dies to a fascist regime on their way to accelerate the collapse.
I think you’re mistaken. That post says “vote your ass off”.
I linked to a specific comment by kreskin, read that.

Maybe you are just lucky but most likely its my own fault for enganging to much with these people. They are rarely explicit about it in the first comment.
Well personally I find it disgusting to suggest that we shouldn’t hold “our team” accountable simply because the other team is worse.
I’ve literally never seen anyone on the threadiverse suggest that we shouldn’t hold them accountable, or that they are “our team” for that matter.
As i said before. My suggestions is to make it clear that a vote =\= support by large anti fascist protestation the second they get elected.
Thank you for the tag request.
Maybe but do you think a rapist is a good leader?
possibly but better not to have a rapist as President though
If they try to bury it they’re going to meet the same fate. And Dem voters will be far less forgiving.
That’s probably what they hope to do, but as Trump and co. have shown, you can’t quite put that genie back in the bottle that easily. They’ll definitely be looking for an opportunity to sweep it under the rug though.
