TRUMP & EPSTEIN: TIMELINE & DEEP BACKGROUND

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…”

- “He had me fly in all these girls, and gave me a $30,000 budget for airfares and limos to pick them up at the airport,” he says. “The girls were all decked out, expecting to meet all these VIPs.” But after an hour at the party, Houraney says, there seemed to be only one other guest: Epstein. “I was like, ‘Donald, where are the guys? What’s going on here?’ And he said, ‘Well, this is it.’” Houraney says he realised “this is a Jeff Epstein party, basically”.
