Stacey Williams, a former model who once dated Jeffrey Epstein, says Donald Trump and the disgraced financier were “best friends” and deeply involved in questionable behavior together.
In an interview with CNN on Friday, Williams said the two were “very close and they were up to no good.” She told host Brianna Keilar that Epstein often talked about Trump during their relationship in the 1990s. “The only friend that he would mention every time we saw each other or had a phone conversation was Donald,” she said.
Williams had already made headlines last year when she accused Trump of groping her in Trump Tower in 1993 while Epstein stood nearby. Trump has denied the allegation.
“That was his bro, that was his wingman,” she told CNN, referring to Trump’s relationship with Epstein.

According to Williams, she met Epstein at a Christmas party hosted by Trump at the Plaza Hotel in 1992. Months later, she and Epstein visited Trump at his office. That’s where she says Trump assaulted her while the two men carried on a casual conversation.
“Donald was outside of his door and his hands were all over me. They were on my breasts, they were on my butt… while the two of them just kept having a normal conversation,” she said.
“They were back and forth smiling and grinning and carrying on a conversation while Donald ran his hands all over me.”
She said assistants were walking by the entire time. “If it happens in a dark alleyway, you defend yourself. But when it’s hidden in its brazenness like that, which is Donald Trump’s forte, you go into shock,” Williams said. “So I froze and it was over very quickly.”
After the incident, she recalled Epstein was furious. “He wouldn’t make eye contact with me,” she said. “He looked at me and he just started yelling at me saying, ‘Why did you let him do that?’”
Williams said she believed the moment was planned between the two. “I think the gist in my mind, given what [Epstein] knew and the way it played out, was, ‘Hey, I’m gonna deliver this person to you who’s actually not gonna let you get away with what you do.’ And I did ’cause I froze,” she said.
Trump and Epstein’s friendship stretched across decades. Trump’s name appeared in Epstein’s leaked contact books and even in passenger logs for his private planes.
Last week, the Justice Department said it found no “client list” and told a court it wants to unseal grand jury transcripts from the Epstein and Maxwell cases. That request comes as new details continue to surface, including a birthday card allegedly signed by Trump for Epstein.
When Keilar read Trump’s denial of the card, Williams laughed. Asked if it sounded out of character, she said, “What, are you kidding me? I know what they were up to together. It happened to me.”
