The Guardian: Trump groped me in what felt like a 'twisted game' with Jeffrey Epstein

Stacey Williams says the ex-president, whose spokesperson denied the allegations, touched her in an unwanted sexual way in 1993, after Epstein introduced them
A former model who says she met Donald Trump through the late sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein has accused the former president of groping and sexually touching her in an incident in Trump Tower in 1993, in what she believed was a “twisted game” between the two men.

Stacey Williams, who worked as a professional model in the 1990s, said she first met Trump in 1992 at a Christmas party after being introduced to him by Epstein, who she believed was a good friend of the then New York real estate developer. Williams said Epstein was interested in her and the two casually dated for a period of a few months.

“It became very clear then that he and Donald were really, really good friends and spent a lot of time together,” Williams said.

Moments after they arrived, she alleges, Trump greeted Williams, pulled her toward him and started groping her. She said he put his hands “all over my breasts” as well as her waist and her buttocks. She said she froze because she was “deeply confused” about what was happening. At the same time, she said she believed she saw the two men smiling at each other.

There seems to be a torrent of such revelations coming out. I wouldn’t be surprised if it continues and crescendos in the next ten days.

Of course you're right that it won't deter the cult, but that's maybe 35% of the electorate. It may Gaugamela 19 hrs ago #2

It won't matter at all. His cult members will vote for him anyway, and probably think that he's a "chad" for doing this shit.

The man is the biggest liar on the planet, but he was telling the truth about one thing, "I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose a single vote."

well sway the fringe swing voters who are by definition “low information” and often don’t tune in until the very end. It could also help galvanize some non-voters. Just because his cult is intractable doesn’t mean nothing works.
