WASHINGTON/NEW YORK – US President Donald Trump faces a serious allegation of sexual violence. Former Swiss model Beatrice Keulová claims that Trump raped her in November 1993 at the Plaza Hotel in New York. According to her statement, she suffered bruises and bleeding. The details were made public in a report released on October 26, 2026 by Democrats from the US House Judiciary Committee. The White House rejects all allegations.
Keulová’s claims are being examined as part of a broader investigation into Donald Trump’s relationship with financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sexual offenses.
It is important to note that Keulová’s allegations have not been independently confirmed or upheld by a court. Trump is not facing criminal charges in this matter.
Former beauty queen details 1993 incident
Beatrice Keulová was 24 years old at the time of the alleged incident. She was working as a model and was also involved in financial services at the time.
She traveled to the United States to take part in the American Dream Pageant, a beauty contest associated with Donald Trump.
According to her testimony, she met Trump during a social event at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan.
She states that Trump offered to help her obtain US visas and a place at New York University.
Keulová says she saw these offers as opportunities to advance her career and education.
She claims that Trump’s associate subsequently invited her to a private meeting in a hotel suite.
Claims of bruises and bleeding after attack
According to her statement, recorded by congressional committee staff, the meeting in the hotel room became violent.
Keulová alleges that Trump physically assaulted and raped her upon arriving in the suite.
She claims he tore her clothes and injured her, leaving her bleeding and with bruises.
She described the alleged attack as brutal.
According to Keulová, Trump returned to his earlier promises to help with her visa and studies after the alleged assault, and also demanded that she remain silent about the incident.
Keulová says that despite being deeply shaken, she stayed for the pageant and later returned to Switzerland.
These details come from Keulová’s testimony and cannot be presented as court-verified facts.
Epstein’s name also appears in the case
The new report by Democratic members of the Judiciary Committee also looks at wider contacts between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
According to Keulová’s statement, she met Epstein at the same event.
The financier, she claims, offered to help her and invited her to social gatherings at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
Democratic lawmakers note that similar offers of career and educational opportunities appeared in statements from other women who described their experiences with Epstein.
However, the similarity of individual testimonies does not prove Trump and Epstein jointly organized sexual abuse.
Possible ties between powerful figures and Epstein’s network remain topics of public discussion.
Aktualizovane.sk previously reported on this topic in the article The complete file of sexual predator Epstein will soon be released. According to Jurík, Lajčák will not be missing.
Democrats release a report detailing eleven women’s accounts
The report was published on October 26, 2026 by Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin, the senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee.
The document examines statements and information concerning eleven women.
The authors state that five women explicitly accused Trump of rape or sexual assault in connection with Jeffrey Epstein.
Democrats are calling for further independent investigation.
However, their report is not a court verdict or the conclusion of any impartial criminal investigation.
It is a document prepared by staff working for Democratic committee members, and its conclusions reflect the views of its authors.
White House firmly denies the allegations
White House spokesperson Lauren Bisová responded to the published claims.
She denied that Trump engaged in any conduct described in the report.
She called the document a politically motivated attack by Democrats, aimed at damaging the president before the November congressional elections.
The White House also reiterated that Trump previously ended Epstein’s membership at his Mar-a-Lago club.
Statements from the administration asserting Trump’s innocence reflect their position. They do not in themselves constitute an independent review of Keulová’s new testimony.
Trump previously faced a civil court ruling
This is not the first sexual assault controversy involving Donald Trump.
In 2023, a New York civil jury found Trump civilly liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll and defaming her.
He was ordered to pay damages in that case.
However, that was a separate civil lawsuit, not a criminal conviction for rape.
This ruling does not prove the truth of the new allegations from Beatrice Keulová.
The Epstein affair has reached European politics
The release of documents linked to Epstein has prompted questions in other countries as well.
In Slovakia, there has been discussion about the contacts between former foreign minister Miroslav Lajčák and Epstein.
Aktualizovane.sk covered Prime Minister Robert Fico’s reaction in the article Fico lashed out at a press conference. I’ll show you photos that will knock you off your feet, he told a reporter.
Epstein’s ties to figures in political and diplomatic circles are being examined in other European countries as well.
Mere social contact with Epstein does not mean involvement in his crimes. Any potential responsibility must be established by evidence.
What might follow the new allegations?
Democratic members of the Judiciary Committee are calling for further review of documents and testimony related to the Epstein case.
They are specifically requesting an independent assessment of the possible roles of other people in his criminal activities.
In Keulová’s case, the passage of more than three decades since the alleged incident remains a major challenge.
It will be important to see whether new witnesses, records, or other evidence emerge that could allow for independent verification of her claims.
As of October 27, 2026, there is no public confirmation of criminal charges against Donald Trump related to Keulová’s testimony.
Thus, the new information represents a serious and high-profile allegation, not a proven crime by the American president.
