A woman who claims she was sexually trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell testified under oath Wednesday that Epstein took her to meet Donald Trump at his Florida club when she was only 14 years old.
CNBC reports that the testimony came on the third day of Maxwell’s trial, which is being held in Manhattan:
The woman, in testimony at Maxwell’s federal sex crimes trial, did not allege any improper conduct by Trump when she met him at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
Nor did the woman characterize what happened at that meeting, which she confirmed under cross-examination by Maxwell’s lawyer Laura Menninger in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
But the woman, who was testifying under the pseudonym “Jane,” also said she had competed in the 1998 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant, an event associated with Trump.
Menninger asked the woman:
“Mr. Epstein introduced you to Donald Trump, correct?”
Jane replied:
“Yes.”
Trump was also known to host “calendar girl” contests at Mar-a-Lago, as the New York Times reported in 2019:
(A) Florida businessman at Trump’s request had organized a “calendar girl” competition at Mar-a-Lago.
“I arranged to have some contestants fly in,” the businessman, George Houraney, told the Times.
“At the very first party, I said, ‘Who’s coming tonight? I have 28 girls coming.’ It was him [Trump] and Epstein.”
“I said, ‘Donald, this is supposed to be a party with V.I.P.s. You’re telling me it’s you and Epstein?’” Houraney recalled.
Trump has also admitted that he’s fond of underage girls, saying that he was sexually attracted to his own daughter, Ivanka, when she was 13:
“Jared Kushner, our Tom Hagen, who married Trump’s stunning daughter Ivanka — ‘Can I ask you something?’ Trump asked someone I know, about his then-13-year-old kid, ‘Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter than your wife? — has lately lost some of this Boy Scout aura. It turns out Kushner’s admission to Harvard was preceded by his father’s $2.5 million pledge.”
Additionally, Trump was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl with Epstein:
“Shortly after this sexual assault by the Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, on the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, Plaintiff Johnson was still present while the two Defendants were arguing over who would be the one to take Plaintiff Johnson’s virginity. The Defendant, Donald J. Trump, was clearly heard referring to Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, as a ‘Jew Bastard’ as he yelled at Defendant Epstein that clearly, he, Defendant Trump, should be the lucky one to ‘pop the cherry’ of Plaintiff Johnson.”
Donald Trump has a history of being attracted to young teenage girls. Don’t be surprised if it comes out during Maxwell’s trial that Trump, much like his buddy Jeffrey Epstein, also committed sexual crimes against underage girls. If it does, his dreams of running in 2024 are shot. And he’ll also be facing some of the same criminal charges Epstein had been indicted for before he died while in federal custody.
