Democrats' Epstein Report Against Trump: What It Alleges, What It Proves

House Judiciary Committee Democrats released a 50-plus-page unsigned staff report on Monday, October 26, 2026, alleging that Donald Trump was "an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s" and accusing the Trump administration and the Justice Department of covering up Epstein files.

The report cites 11 women, FBI records, and documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. At least five of those women accused Trump of rape or sexual assault in Epstein's company or shortly after meeting the men together, according to the report.

It includes at least one new allegation. Beatrice Keul, a model and former Miss Switzerland, told committee staff she was raped by Trump in a Plaza Hotel suite in Manhattan in November 1993, during the American Dream Pageant, leaving her bleeding and bruised. The report provides no direct evidence beyond her own account to committee staff.

The report also details inconsistent public statements Trump has made about Epstein, including a claim that he never flew on Epstein's plane when flight logs show he did.

Democrats called for an independent special counsel to investigate Trump, Attorney General Todd Blanche's conflicts of interest, and the Justice Department's reluctance to share evidence with state and foreign law enforcement.

A White House spokeswoman called the report politically motivated and said none of the allegations are true.

The report lands nine days before the midterm elections. It reframes the Epstein files fight from transparency to potential criminal liability, but it tests whether congressional allegations without direct documentary proof can move voters or prosecutors.
