In an interview Friday with The Associated Press, she described walking down New York City\u2019s Fifth Avenue with Epstein, whom she was seeing at the time, when he suggested they visit Trump in his namesake tower. <\/p>\n<p>As soon as Trump saw her, she said, he \u201chad his arms around me and pulled me into him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen he started groping me. He started rubbing his hands up and down my body. He touched my breasts. He touched my waist. He touched my butt,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd while his hands are on me, he\u2019s continuing to have a conversation with Jeffrey who is, you know, standing across from us. And I just froze. I was so confused.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Karoline Leavitt, a Trump spokeswoman, called the allegations \u201cunequivocally false\u201d and argued they were politically motivated. <\/p>\n<p>The organizer of the Survivors for Kamala video call said this week\u2019s meeting was not affiliated with the Harris campaign and was an outside gathering of sexual violence survivors and advocate organizations. The Harris campaign declined Friday to comment on the allegations. And Williams said while she is voting for Harris, she has not had any contact with the Democrat\u2019s campaign or knowingly had contact with people associated with her run.<\/p>\n<p>The allegation is the latest in a lengthy list of accusations made against Trump, including by <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/carroll\">E. Jean Carroll<\/a><\/span>, who has been locked in a legal battle with the businessman-turned-president after a jury found him liable in 2023 for sexually assaulting the advice columnist in 1996 and later for defaming her. The allegations against Trump go back decades and include those described in the \u201cAccess Hollywood\u201d tape, a 2005 video made public weeks before the 2016 election that showed the then-reality television star bragging about grabbing, forcibly kissing and sexually assaulting women.<\/p>\n<p>In the interview, Williams said the encounter with Trump \u201cfelt orchestrated,\u201d like she got \u201cwalked in there for that moment and they both knew exactly what they were doing.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was just like this, you know, thing to be played with over some sort of twisted game or a bet or something,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of the alleged incident, Trump was in his mid-40s, while Williams was in her mid-20s. Williams said she recalled \u201can assistant who had walked by a couple of times\u201d and whom she had been introduced to, but the encounter was primarily just her, Trump and Epstein. In total, she said, the encounter lasted around \u201cabout five minutes, maybe a little longer, definitely less than 10 minutes. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Epstein was conversational and said nothing to Trump in the moment, Williams recalls his \u201cenergy\u201d changing when they got in the elevator to leave.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe wasn\u2019t making eye contact with me. He seemed like he was seething, like he was really angry,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd my heart was still pounding and I was still confused.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the two got to the street, she said: \u201cThe first thing he said was, \u2018Why did you let him do that?\u2019 And he berated me. &#8230; Of course, I immediately then felt ashamed.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"Infobox\" data-module=\"\" data-gtm-region=\"What to know about the 2024 Election Today's news: Follow live updates from the campaign trail from the AP.

Williams said her agent received the postcard, via courier, from Trump. <\/p>\n<p>Williams\u2019 team provided the AP with images of the postcard.

The two had met earlier at a Christmas party that the businessman had thrown in 1992, but after their encounter in early 1993, the model had \u201csuch an aversion to running into him after that. I never wanted to be around him again, ever.\u201d Williams said she saw Epstein \u201cone or two more times\u201d after the 1993 encounter with Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Although Trump has sought to distance himself from Epstein in recent years, he <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/nymetro\/news\/people\/n_7912\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told New York Magazine in 2002<\/a><\/span> that he had known \u201cJeff\u201d for 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTerrific guy,\u201d Trump told the magazine. \u201cHe\u2019s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it \u2014 Jeffrey enjoys his social life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Williams said that when the \u201cAccess Hollywood\u201d tape came out, she thought, \u201cFinally everyone\u2019s going to find out what a freaky guy this is, that he does stuff like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had an urge to sort of tell the story. But, you know, as the mother of a young child, I wasn\u2019t going to bring that into my life,\u201d she said Friday.<\/p>\n<p>When Trump went on to win the election, however, Williams said she was \u201csickened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was beyond beyond comprehension &#8230; just like we are in the upside down,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '870613919693099',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/election-2024-trump-stacey-williams-5ab730ec694ef47e587e8f5ca4f1ad55\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Stacey Williams is accusing former President Donald Trump of groping her at Trump Tower in early 1993 as disgraced hedge fund manager Jeffrey Epstein watched.
