Former model claims Donald Trump groped her after Jeffrey Epstein introduced them

A former model has come out and accused Donald Trump of groping and sexually touching her at his Trump Tower home in 1993.

Stacy Williams, who worked as a model in the 1990s, has told The Guardian newspaper that she first met Mr Trump in 1992 at a Christmas party after being introduced to him by the late sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein.

Ms Williams, 56, told the newspaper that Epstein was interested in her, and they casually dated for a period of a few months.

Some months later, in the late winter or spring of 1993, she said she was on a walk with Epstein when they stopped at Trump Tower, and Mr Trump put his hands "all over my breasts" as well as her waist and her buttocks.

She told The Guardian that she froze when it happened because she was "deeply confused" about what was going on.

Ms Williams said Mr Trump sent her agent a postcard in late 1993 that had an aerial view of Mar-a-Lago, his Palm Beach residence and resort.

She shared the postcard with The Guardian, and it shows Mr Trump's handwriting, in what appears to be his trademark black sharpie pen. He wrote: "Stacey – Your home away from home. Love Donald".

Ms Williams has previously shared parts of her claim on social media, but revealed the full details of the alleged encounter on a call on Monday organised by a group called 'Survivors for Kamala', which supports the Democrat nominee.

After the alleged incident, Ms Williams said she felt Epstein growing angry with her, and he blamed her for what Mr Trump is alleged to have done.

She said she felt the alleged incident seemed part of a "twisted game", and added: "I felt shame and disgust and as we went our separate ways."

The press secretary for Donald Trump's campaign, Karoline Leavitt, gave The Guardian a statement categorically denying the allegations.

The newspaper said the statement said in part: "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."

Around two dozen women in total have accused the former president of sexual misconduct going back decades, and last year, a jury found him liable for sexually abusing the columnist E Jean Carroll in 1996.

No evidence has surfaced claiming that Mr Trump was aware of or involved in the misconduct perpetrated by Epstein - although the pair did know each other for decades.
