WASHINGTON, DC: Stacey Williams, a former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein, just blew the lid off what she says was a shady bromance between the disgraced financier and Donald Trump. According to her, they were “very close and up to no good.”

Williams, who briefly dated Epstein back in the early 1990s, popped up on CNN’s 'OutFront' on Friday night, July 18, to drop some serious allegations.

Her comments come just as the Trump camp is already knee-deep in chaos after a Department of Justice review concluded that Epstein didn’t have a secret “client list” and that his 2019 jailhouse death was indeed a suicide.

The alleged 1993 Trump Tower incident

Flashback to 1993. Stacey Williams says she was at Trump Tower when the then-real estate mogul groped her during what she chillingly described as part of a “twisted game.” She claimed Epstein stood by, watching and smiling, while Trump touched her against her will. 

A spokesperson for Trump has flatly denied Williams’ allegation, which first surfaced in October 2024.

Williams also told CNN’s Brianna Keilar that during the "four or five months" she dated Epstein, Trump's name kept coming up.

“While you were dating Epstein, can you tell us how close these two men were?” Keilar asked Williams.

“They were best friends,” Williams responded. “I dated Jeffrey for a period of more or less, I think, about four or five months. And the only friend that he would mention every time we saw each other or had a phone conversation was Donald. And he would share a lot of anecdotes. I have plenty of anecdotes. And yeah, they were... they were very close and they were up to no good.”

Stacey Williams calls Donald Trump Jeffrey Epstein's 'wingman'

According to Stacey Williams, Jeffrey Epstein talked about Donald Trump like a "bro."

“How did Epstein talk about Trump?” Keilar asked. “What was the quality of those anecdotes, and how did he describe him?”

“That was his bro. That was his wingman,” Williams responded. “I’d hear about Ghislaine and I’d hear about Jeffrey. And I met Ghislaine in his house. She would come wafting in and out, the home in New York. So, [Trump] was clearly just someone that he talked about all the time.”

Williams said she actually met Epstein at a Christmas party Trump threw at the Plaza Hotel in 1992.



 

The Wall Street Journal recently published an article alleging that Trump sent a birthday letter to Epstein in 2003 featuring a drawing of a nude woman. The president called the reporting “false, malicious, defamatory” and promptly hit the newspaper with a $10 billion lawsuit, also dragging in anyone involved in the publication.

Donald Trump admin engulfed in Epstein storm

Donald Trump notably made Jeffrey Epstein’s legacy part of his political talking points, promising to “expose” the people really involved. But his base was outraged when Attorney General Pam Bondi dropped heavily redacted Epstein files instead of the juicy goods they were hoping for.

Even Elon Musk chimed in. After Trump labeled the Epstein documents a “hoax,” the former first buddy snarked on July 16, “Wow, amazing that Epstein ‘killed himself’ and Ghislaine is in federal prison for a hoax.”

Bondi asked a federal court on Friday to release grand jury transcripts from the Epstein case, citing what Trump officials called “extensive public interest.”

Still, it might be too little, too late.

Epstein — who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges — is gone. Ghislaine Maxwell is serving her 20-year sentence, though her family’s apparently still trying to get that overturned.
