White House response
According to the report's authors, Trump allegedly repeated his promises regarding the visa and university afterward and demanded that Keul remain silent. She returned to Switzerland, declined to take part in another Trump-sponsored pageant in Hawaii, and later rejected another offer of assistance when Trump called her in Switzerland.
Trump has not been charged in connection with Keul's statement. White House spokesperson Lauren Beis, in a comment to People magazine, denied the claims, saying that the allegations are untrue. She also called the report an attempt by Democrats to distract Americans.
The report also states that Trump, Epstein, and other individuals allegedly used the pageant for women aged 16 to 22 as hunting grounds to find vulnerable young women and girls. The White House denies all allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump.
