Williams alleged that she had first met Trump at a Christmas party in 1992, when she and Epstein were dating. A few months after their meeting, Williams alleged that Trump attacked her when she and Epstein visited Trump Tower in Manhattan.Trump’s hands were “all over my breasts”, she said. Williams said that she was “deeply confused” at the time and said that Trump and Epstein smiled at each other during the alleged incident.“Jeffrey and I left and he didn’t look at me or speak to me and I felt this seething rage around me, and when we got down to the sidewalk, he looked at me and just berated me, and said ‘why did you do that’?” she said. “He made me feel so disgusting and I remember being so utterly confused.”Advertisement• What will happen if Trump wins the US election?There is no suggestion that Donald Trump was aware of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimesDAVIDOFF STUDIOS/GETTY IMAGESIn a separate interview with The Guardian, Williams said the alleged incident seemed to be part of a “twisted game” between Epstein and Trump.“I felt shame and disgust and as we went our separate ways, I felt this sensation of revisiting it, while the hands were all over me,” she said. “And I had this horrible pit in my stomach that it was somehow orchestrated, I felt like a piece of meat.”Williams has also produced a postcard showing Trump’s Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago. On the back is written “Stacey — Your home away from home. Love, Donald”.Epstein, a former Wall Street financier and convicted sex offender, killed himself in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.AdvertisementIt was “very clear then that he and Donald were really, really good friends and spent a lot of time together”, Williams told a group called Survivors for Kamala on Monday. This week, the group took out an advert in The New York Times that was signed by 200 survivors of sexual violence.Williams, now 56, said that her relationship with Epstein ended soon after the alleged incident at Trump TowerMARION CURTIS/STARPIX/REX/SHUTTERSTOCKIn May last year, a New York jury found Trump, 78, civilly liable for the sexual abuse, battery and defamation of the writer E Jean Carroll, who had accused him of attacking her in 1995 or 1996.The court found an allegation of rape not proven, a finding available in the civil courts. The judge in the case said, however, that “the finding that Ms Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York penal law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape’.“Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr Trump in fact did exactly that.”Trump, who denies ever meeting Carroll, was later found to have defamed her by continuing to denounce her as a liar and was ordered to pay her a total of $83.3 million in damages. A number of other women have come forward suggesting that they were sexually abused by him. He has denied all of the allegations.AdvertisementThere is no suggestion that Trump was aware of Epstein’s behaviour. Epstein is said to have trafficked dozens of underage girls and young women to his homes around the world and abused them.The writer E Jean Carroll was awarded $83.3 million in damagesADAM GRAY/REUTERSWilliams said that her relationship with Epstein ended soon after the alleged incident at Trump Tower.In a denial of Williams’s account, the Trump campaign questioned the timing of the allegations, which come less than two weeks before the presidential election. Polls indicate that it could be one of the closest contests in history, with the candidates effectively tied in the seven crucial battleground states where the race will be decided.• US election polls and predictionsKaroline Leavitt, the Trump campaign’s press secretary, said: “These accusations, made by a former activist for Barack Obama and announced on a Harris campaign call two weeks before the election, are unequivocally false. It’s obvious this fake story was contrived by the Harris campaign.”AdvertisementWith a month to go before the presidential election in 2016, in which Trump eventually beat Hillary Clinton, The Washington Post published the so-called Access Hollywood tapes, a 2005 interview Trump gave to the television host Billy Bush.Asked by Bush how he would seduce a married woman, Trump said: “I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything … Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.”WorldRelated articlesDAVID CHARTER | ANALYSISCan Trump convince women he is their ‘protector’?September 24 2024, 9.42pmDavid Charter, WashingtonANALYSISVogue, vibe shifts and the fight for votes in the ‘men v women’ electionOctober 11 2024, 11.44pmDavid Charter, WashingtonPROMOTED CONTENTBack to topGet in touchAbout usContact usHelpThe Times Editorial ComplaintsThe Sunday Times Editorial ComplaintsPlace an announcementClassified advertisingDisplay advertisingThe Times correctionsThe Sunday Times correctionsCareersMore from The Times and The Sunday TimesThe Times e-paperThe Sunday Times e-paperThe Sunday Times Wine ClubTimes Print GalleryThe Times ArchiveTimes Crossword ClubSunday Times DrivingTimes+The Sunday Times Rich ListTravelGood University GuideSchools GuideNewslettersBest Places to LiveBest Places to StayTimes AppointmentsPodcastsTimes Money MentorTimes LuxurySportswomen of the Year AwardsBest Places to WorkPuzzlesMore from News CorpThe AustralianBarron'sDow JonesFinancial News LondonInvestor's Business DailyMansion GlobalMarketWatchRealtor.comThe SunTimes Literary SupplementThe Wall Street Journal© Times Media Limited 2025.Registered in England No. 894646.
