Stacey Williams’ shares her story
Williams said she and Epstein, whom she was dating at the time, were walking together on Fifth Avenue in New York City in 1993 when Epstein brought her to Trump Tower. That’s when she said Trump greeted them outside his office. She said he immediately pulled her into him and started groping her with Epstein standing there watching and smiling.
“Then the hands started moving, and they were on the, you know, on the side of my breasts, on my hips, back down to my butt, back up, sort of then, you know, they were just on me the whole time,” Williams said.
After leaving, Williams claimed Epstein berated her for allowing Trump to touch her.
“I just had this really like sickening feeling that it was coordinated, that somehow the whole thing was — I was rolled in there like a piece of meat for some kind of weird, twisted game,” Williams said.
Williams said she ended her relationship with Epstein after the encounter. She also said she didn’t know of his predatory behavior that would be revealed years later.
Trump was once close friends with Epstein. He publicly distanced himself from Epstein after the financier faced charges related to inappropriate sexual conduct with underage girls.
Williams also said she got a Mar-a-Lago postcard from Trump delivered to her modeling agency shortly after the incident at Trump Tower. It read, “Stacey, your home away from home. Love, Donald.”
CNN spoke to three friends of Williams who each said that she told them about the incident with Trump and Epstein in 2006, 2015 and 2016.

Trump campaign responds
The Trump campaign denied Williams’ allegations calling it a “fake story contrived by Kamala Harris’ campaign.”
Williams insists her decision to go public with this claim isn’t related to the 2024 election and that she hasn’t spoken to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign about the allegation.
She said sharing her story coincides with the release of a new documentary about Sports Illustrated. She said she mentioned the incident in the documentary.
