TRUMP & EPSTEIN: TIMELINE & DEEP BACKGROUND
late 70s
-Through Roy Cohn, Trump gained access to Manhattan’s drug-fueled disco scene which featured trafficked women and children. "I would watch supermodels getting screwed, well-known supermodels getting screwed, on a bench in the middle of the room.
-Trump and Casablanca would cross paths at some point during the mid 70’s through Roy Cohn. Casablancas’ influence on Trump becomes obvious when reading about both men
-John Casablancas, founder of Elite Model Management, prolific child rapist, and trafficker. He was Ivanka Trump’s manager, was a close associate of Trump, and sat on the board of Trump Realty Brazil.
-Jessica Leeds said that in the late 70s when she was a travelling businesswoman she had sat beside Trump, whom she had never met before, in the first-class cabin of a flight to New York. She alleged that about 45 minutes after takeoff Trump lifted the armrest, grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt. Leeds alleged Trump’s “hands were everywhere”, describing them as “like an octopus”.
late 80s
-Cathleen, a 15-year-old Swedish model, represented by Casablancas’ Elite Model Management said she met Trump in the mid-1980s at a party: “We had [agency parties] all the time, and [Trump] was there. I had no idea who he was,” she told us. “He came in with two girls from the agency and sat down at the other end to me. One of them was a Polish model. She must have been sixteen, seventeen, definitely no older than eighteen. He was all over her. Kissing her on her lips and neck and touching her.” [emphasis added] -Cathleen said there were about four men at the dinner and about six models aged between fifteen and twenty — and that there was nothing unusual in that. “This happened every week,” she said of the dinners with older men. “You just have to show up…”
1989:
-Trump and Robert Maxwell, the Czechoslovak-born owner of London’s Daily Mirror tabloid, rubbed shoulders on the high-flying Manhattan party circuit.
-An item from a May 1989 gossip column placed Trump and both Maxwells at a party aboard the elder Maxwell’s yacht, named the Lady Ghislaine, that featured caviar flown in from Paris and former Republican Sen. John Tower of Texas
-Ivana Trump swears in divorce papers that Donald Trump raped her late in 1989 after a botched scalp‑reduction surgery.
1991:
-Donald Trump judges the 1991 Look of the Year modeling competition organized by Elite Model Management, featuring participants as young at 14-years-old.
-A 2020 Guardian investigation into Elite’s Look of the Year competition uncovered allegations from former contestants and industry insiders that the competition was used by founder John Casablancas and others to engage in sexual relationships with vulnerable young models, some of whom were teenagers.
-Shawna Lee, then a 14-year-old from a small town outside Toronto. She recalls how the contestants were encouraged to parade downstairs, one by one, and dance for Trump, Casablancas and others.
Another contestant, who was 15 at the time, also remembers being asked to walk for Trump, Casablancas and other men on the boat in September 1992. She says an organiser told her that if she refused, she would be excluded from the competition. “I knew in my gut it wasn’t right,” she recalls. “This wasn’t being judged or part of the competition – it was for their entertainment.”
