Former US President Donald Trump has once again landed in controversy with new allegations of misconduct after former Miss Switzerland contestant Beatrice Kaul alleged he groped her in 1993. The new allegations reportedly surfaced a week after a former Sports Illustrated model accused Trump of similar inappropriate conduct.
As per a ‘Daily Mail’ exclusive, Keul claimed she was invited for a ‘private talk’ with Trump at his hotel suite in New York. Keul alleged that Trump ‘jumped’ on her and groped her body, once she was in. Keul who was a runner-up in the Miss Switzerland 1992 beauty pageant described their meeting as unsettling.
First Encounter At Trump Castle Casino
Reports revealed that Keul first met Trump at the Trump Castle Casino, where she was among the 50 contestants who were offered transport to the Manhattan’s Plaza Hotel. She recollected that Trump mispronounced her name and was especially drawn to her. They had a 10 to 15 minutes long conversation during their initial meeting.

A Troubling Encounter Between Keul And Trump
After the press luncheon, Keul alleged that she was approached by a staff member who insisted she go and see Trump privately. “He jumped on me. He was grabbing and touching my body everywhere he could,” she said.
Reports stated that Keul tried to push Trump off, showing her non-consent. “He kissed me on the lips and the neck. He tried to lift my dress,” she alleged.
‘Playing nice” is how Keul described her strategy to escape from the situation. “When you are with sick people, you have to be calm; otherwise, something very bad can happen,” she added.
Trump’s Office Responds To The Groping Allegations
Responding to Trump’s allegations, Karoline Leavitt, Donald Trump’s National Press Secretary termed Keul’s claims as ‘false’. She alleged that the statement appeared to divert from the controversy related to Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff.
Earlier in the week, Trump’s team had responded similarly, denying accusations leveled by Stacey Williams.
