Donald Trump jumped on a blonde, 6'1" model and groped her while she tried to fight him off at a beauty pageant in 1993, the woman told me.
She also said Trump was working with Jeffrey Epstein to recruit young women for his parties at Mar-a-Lago.

Swiss banker Beatrice Keul was 22 when she got invited to the Donald J. Trump American Dream Pageant, held in New York and Atlantic City in November 1993.
She flew from Zurich, and was introduced to Trump along with around 50 other young female contestants.
Keul told me Trump paid her special attention at a press event for the pageant, telling her: ‘We finally meet Miss Keul’, and talking for about 15 minutes.
She said he signed a copy of his book, The Art of the Deal, for her too.
Keul said after the public event, a Trump staffer told her the real estate magnate wanted to meet her up in his suite.
She said as soon as she entered the room Trump ‘jumped’ on her.
‘He kissed me on the lips and on the neck. He tried to lift my dress. He was grabbing and touching my body everywhere he could,’ she said.
She was trying to fight him off, she said, and he only stopped when she told him ‘let’s talk first’.
They talked for another few minutes, with Trump still kissing and holding her hand, before she found an excuse to leave, Keul told me.
She also said Jeffrey Epstein was at the pageant.
She said Epstein was ‘insistent’ to her and other women, offering to pay their expenses to attend parties at Mar-a-Lago he said he was organizing ‘with Don’.
A friend of Keul who works in Swiss media, Pascal Claivaz, told me that she described the disturbing alleged incident to him two decades ago, and has not changed her story.
Keul said she gained confidence to speak out now after recently finding supporting documents like her 1993 flight tickets and pageant invite in a box while moving house.
A woman came forward last week with similar allegations about a separate 1993 incident.
She claimed that Trump leaped on her when they first met and sexually assaulted her, and that he and Epstein were close friends.
Former Sports Illustrated model Stacey Williams, 56, said her incident happened around 1993, in the early spring or late winter.
Pennsylvania-based Williams brought forward her claims through Survivors for Kamala, a group affiliated with the Harris Campaign.
Keul is Swiss and has no affiliation to the Democratic or Republican parties.
In a statement to me, Trump’s spokesperson denied Williams’ claims and said it was a bogus smear attempt by the Harris campaign.
But they did not respond to questions about Keul’s allegations.
The Trump Campaign's response is referencing a story I broke last week: I spoke to Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff's ex-girlfriend, who claims he slapped her in 2012.

The Trump Campaign didn’t respond to questions about Keul before publication.
But a spokesperson reached out to me after we published the story today and updated their response: now they deny her allegations.
