据民主党所属的众议院司法委员会周一发布的一份报告,该报告审查特朗普与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的关系,一名曾指控唐纳德·特朗普总统于1993年性侵她的女性,在向国会工作人员描述该事件时称其为强奸,并表示这次互动导致她出血和淤伤。
A woman who had accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her in 1993 described it to congressional staff as rape and said the interaction left her bleeding and bruised, according to a report released Monday by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee examining Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
报告称,模特兼前瑞士小姐贝亚特丽丝·柯尔向司法委员会工作人员称,她24岁时在曼哈顿广场酒店的一间套房内被特朗普强奸。柯尔表示,在参加与特朗普有合作关系的“美国梦选美比赛”期间,她在该活动的新闻午餐会上与特朗普会面。
Beatrice Keul, a model and former Miss Switzerland, alleged to Judiciary Committee staff that she was raped by Trump in a Plaza Hotel suite in Manhattan when she was 24. Keul said that while attending the American Dream Pageant, which had a partnership with Trump, she met with Trump at a press luncheon at the event.
据柯尔称,特朗普承诺为她安排美国签证,并通过他的朋友保罗·赞波利确保她被纽约大学录取。赞波利是特朗普的密友,直至本月早些时候仍是特朗普政府的一员。在同一活动中,她还与爱泼斯坦交谈了至少10分钟,爱泼斯坦声称曾与唐组织过“许多派对”。当天晚些时候,柯尔称,特朗普邀请她去酒店套房,特朗普“从后面抓住柯尔并强行强奸了她”,导致“她身体多个部位出血和淤伤”,报告如是说。事发后,柯尔称,特朗普让她保证保持沉默,并重申了关于签证和大学录取的承诺。
Trump, according to Keul, promised to arrange her visa in the U.S. and ensure her acceptance into New York University through his friend Paolo Zampolli, a close Trump ally who was, until earlier this month, part of his Administration. At the same event, she also spent at least 10 minutes talking to Epstein who she said claimed to have organized “many parties with Don.”Later that day, Keul alleges, Trump invited her to a hotel suite where Trump “grabbed Keul from behind and forcibly raped her,” causing “bleeding and bruising on multiple parts of her body,” the report says. Following the incident, Keul alleges Trump made her promise she would keep quiet and repeated his promise for visa and college admission.
报告称,柯尔指控,因为她抵达时护照被收走,她无法在事件发生后离开比赛。回到瑞士后,她几周后拒绝参加夏威夷另一场特朗普赞助的选美比赛。《时代》杂志无法独立核实柯尔叙述的细节。
Because Keul’s passport had been taken from her on her arrival, she was not able to leave the contest following the incident, she alleges, according to the report. After she returned to Switzerland, she declined to participate in an additional Trump-sponsored pageant in Hawaii several weeks later. TIME has been unable to independently verify details of Keul’s account.
白宫在一份声明中否认这些指控,并表示特朗普总统与爱泼斯坦相关的一切指控均已“完全洗清”。白宫发言人劳伦·比斯说:“这份所谓‘报告’只不过是疯狂的民主党人为了转移美国人对特朗普总统历史性成就所推动的共和党势头的关注而做出的绝望尝试。”
In a statement, the White House denies the allegations and says that President Trump has been “fully exonerated of anything related to Epstein.”“This ‘report’ is nothing more than a desperate attempt by crazed Democrats to distract Americans from the surging Republican momentum driven by President Trump’s historic achievements,” White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis says.
考尔此前曾公开谈及她对特朗普的性侵指控,但该报告提供了关于所谓强奸的新细节,同时回顾了其他特朗普指控者的类似陈述。
Keul has previously spoken in public about her sexual assault allegations against Trump, but the report provided new details of the alleged rape—as well as reviewing similar accounts of other Trump accusers.
除了考尔的陈述,该报告还汇编了另外四名女性的指控,她们都曾直接指控特朗普在爱泼斯坦调查中涉嫌强奸或性侵。这些指控跨越20世纪80年代中期至90年代,此前均已通过媒体采访或作为爱泼斯坦档案一部分公布的FBI证词公开。
In addition to Keul’s account, the report also compiled allegations from four other women who have directly accused Trump of rape or sexual assault in connection with the Epstein investigation. The allegations, spanning from the mid-1980s to the 1990s, had all been previously made public either through media interviews or FBI testimony released as part of the Epstein files.
该报告的发布距离选举日仅一周多,正值民主党努力向选民表明,如果他们赢得国会一院或两院控制权,将如何运用权力。
The report’s release, just over a week before Election Day, comes as Democrats are working to signal to voters how they will make use of their power if they gain control of one or both chambers of Congress.
周一,马里兰州众议员、众议院司法委员会民主党首席议员杰米·拉斯金呼吁司法部任命一名独立特别检察官,监督报告中提及指控的调查。迄今为止,爱泼斯坦长期密友吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦是唯一一名因爱泼斯坦案件被定罪涉嫌性贩卖未成年人的人。
On Monday, Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat of the House Judiciary Committee, called on the Department of Justice to appoint an independent special counsel to oversee the investigation of allegations mentioned in the report. So far, Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime Epstein confidant, is the only person to have been convicted of sex trafficking of minors in connection with the Epstein case.
“独立特别检察官必须调查爱泼斯坦的共谋者以及司法部的掩盖行为,并确保州和外国检察官拥有追究正义所需的证据,”拉斯金在一份声明中说。
“An independent special counsel must investigate Epstein’s co-conspirators and DOJ’s cover-up and ensure that state and foreign prosecutors have the evidence they need to pursue justice,” Raskin said in a statement.
报告还指控,曾任特朗普政府官员、也是特朗普亲密盟友的保罗·赞波利(Paolo Zampolli)是爱泼斯坦性贩运指控中的“积极参与者”。
Allegations made against Paolo Zampolli The report also alleges that Zampolli, a former Trump administration official and a close Trump ally, was “an active participant” in the Epstein sex trafficking allegations.
根据报告,引用爱泼斯坦档案中多份联邦调查局(FBI)报告,赞波利为年轻女模特安排美国签证,随后她们与爱泼斯坦见面。一份联邦调查局报告提到,赞波利为一名18岁模特安排签证,随后该模特被招募到爱泼斯坦住所提供按摩服务,据称爱泼斯坦在那里强奸了她。
According to the report, which cites multiple FBI reports included in the Epstein files, Zampolli arranged U.S. visas for young female models before they met Epstein. One FBI report mentioned that Zampolli arranged an 18-year-old model’s visa before she was recruited to give a massage at Epstein’s house, where Epstein allegedly raped her.
赞波利本人也在另一起案件中被指控强奸和性侵,模特维多利亚·德雷克(Victoria Drake)在一起正在进行的民事诉讼中指控,赞波利于2023年给她下药并强奸了她。《时代》(TIME)已联系赞波利置评。
Zampolli himself has also been accused of rape and sexual assault in a separate case brought by model Victoria Drake, who alleges in an ongoing civil lawsuit that Zampolli drugged and raped her in 2023. TIME has reached out to Zampolli for comment.
此前,赞波利曾声称他于1998年将第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普介绍给了特朗普总统,但报告质疑这一说法,引述两个来源——一名不愿透露姓名的爱泼斯坦同伙和巴西模特阿曼达·翁加罗(Amanda Ungaro)——称是爱泼斯坦将梅拉尼娅·特朗普介绍给了唐纳德·特朗普。
Previously, Zampolli has claimed that he had introduced First Lady Melania Trump to the President in 1998, but the report disputes that claim, citing two accounts—one from an unnamed Epstein associate and the other from Amanda Ungaro, a Brazilian model—saying that Epstein had introduced Melania Trump to Donald Trump.
《纽约时报》(The New York Times)3月报道,去年赞波利曾要求美国移民与海关执法局(ICE)一名高级官员拘留并驱逐翁加罗,后者曾与赞波利交往,当时两人正为儿子抚养权争夺。赞波利否认提出过此类要求。
The New York Times reported in March that Zampolli had asked a top official at Immigration and Customs Enforcement last year to detain and deport Ungaro, whom Zampolli had previously dated, amid a custody battle over their son. Zampolli denied making such requests.
直到本月早些时候,赞波利仍在国务院担任全球伙伴关系特别代表一职。据《政治》(Politico)报道,因与该部副部长长达数月的争端,他于两周前被解职。
Until earlier this month, Zampolli held a diplomatic role under the State Department as Special Representative for Global Partnerships. He was fired two weeks ago over a months-long dispute with the department’s deputy secretary, according to Politico.
