Epstein's Ex Alleges Close Trump Friendship, Assault Claims

Stacey Williams, a former girlfriend of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has publicly accused US President Donald Trump of having a close and troubling relationship with Epstein, describing them as "best friends" and "up to no good." Williams recounted that during the early 1990s, Epstein frequently spoke of Trump as his "bro" and "wingman," highlighting their close connection. She also alleged that in 1993, Trump groped her at Trump Tower while Epstein watched and smiled, an accusation Trump denies. Williams stated that Trump and Epstein’s friendship was evident in their interactions, including a Christmas party hosted by Trump where Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell were present. Additionally, Williams referenced a controversial birthday letter Trump allegedly sent to Epstein, which Trump has dismissed as fake, and a postcard sent to Williams’ agent shortly after the alleged assault. These revelations come amid ongoing Department of Justice reviews related to Epstein and Maxwell investigations, adding complexity to the public scrutiny of Trump’s associations with Epstein.
