Ivana Trump accused of helping feed Epstein's network in 'explosive' new allegations

Source: Raw Story

July 4, 2026 6:50AM ET


A former beauty queen who says Donald Trump groped her at a 1993 pageant has leveled a new claim at the president's first wife, alleging Ivana Trump helped funnel young women into Jeffrey Epstein's orbit.

Beatrice Keul, 55, a former Miss Switzerland and Miss Europe contestant, told the Daily Beast's new Punch Up Substack that she believes Ivana acted as a "madam"-style figure in Epstein's social world, on par with his convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.

In the final part of a three-part interview, Keul said she believes "Ivana played a major role in this whole cosmos, bringing in women in the same way as Maxwell." "Was Maxwell a madam or an enabler? However you would describe her, Ivana was the same," claimed Keul.

Punch Up said it has not independently verified Keul's account of Ivana and has seen no evidence she knew of or took part in any crimes. Ivana Trump, mother to Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka and Eric, died in 2022 at age 73 and was never charged with any Epstein-related offense.

Ivana and Ghislane were good friends and used to drive around NYC looking for high school girls. They hung around together doing other things too.
I'd like to see some photos pop up showing the two of them together.

Ivana Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell moved in the same elite, gilded New York and Palm Beach social circles during the 1990s. Their social connection, ties to Donald Trump, and the broader context of Jeffrey Epstein's network have been heavily scrutinized in both memoirs and official investigations.

Maxwell (the convicted sex offender and former partner of Jeffrey Epstein) and Ivana (Donald Trump's first wife) were friendly acquaintances who frequently socialized together. They were fixtures at the same cocktail parties and high-society events.

Accounts from associates and former victims indicate that as Epstein and Maxwell grew close to Donald Trump in the 1990s, the social orbits of Ivana and Maxwell occasionally intertwined within the Manhattan and Florida scenes.

I found this interesting post on the Wayne Barrett collection at Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin



Considering Barrett's penchant for flogging Krasnov in his heydey, is it possible there is incriminating "evidence" included in the
portion of Barrett's collection that is marked "restricted"???
