Beatrice Keul, a model and former Miss Switzerland, alleged to Judiciary Committee staff that she was raped by Trump in a Plaza Hotel suite in Manhattan when she was 24. Keul said that while attending the American Dream Pageant, which had a partnership with Trump, she met with Trump at a press luncheon at the event.
Trump, according to Keul, promised to arrange her visa in the U.S. and ensure her acceptance into New York University through his friend Paolo Zampolli, a close Trump ally who was, until earlier this month, part of his Administration. At the same event, she also spent at least 10 minutes talking to Epstein who she said claimed to have organized “many parties with Don.”
Later that day, Keul alleges, Trump invited her to a hotel suite where Trump “grabbed Keul from behind and forcibly raped her,” causing “bleeding and bruising on multiple parts of her body,” the report says. Following the incident, Keul alleges Trump made her promise she would keep quiet and repeated his promise for visa and college admission.
Because Keul’s passport had been taken from her on her arrival, she was not able to leave the contest following the incident, she alleges, according to the report. After she returned to Switzerland, she declined to participate in an additional Trump-sponsored pageant in Hawaii several weeks later.
I see your point, but you got to understand there's multiple layers to this.
They could've brought up this case earlier, but it would've changed nothing. It would've been swallowed by the constant shit tsunami generated by his orange rapistness. It would've gone on the pile of "shit he did but won't get punished for". After all there won't be an investigation, a legal case, anything.
This is only useful as political munition, and should be used as such. It won't WIN them directly anything, but it might tilt things enough with the "undecided" voters to provide an upper edge.
Or would you rather they released this 8-10 months ago, and resulted in nothing but a week or two of headlines?
