Well, it looks like the media’s latest attempt to derail President Trump’s 2024 campaign has hit a brick wall. For nearly a week, rumors swirled about a bombshell story against Trump, with anonymous sources claiming CNN and other outlets were sitting on something big. Turns out, that “something big” was a very flimsy allegation that quickly crumbled under scrutiny.
Stacey Williams, a former model, came forward on Wednesday, alleging that Trump groped her at a private party hosted by none other than Jeffrey Epstein—31 years ago. According to Williams, the incident took place in Trump Tower in early 1993, after Epstein took her on a walk from his brownstone on the Upper East Side. But here’s where things get messy: Epstein didn’t even own that brownstone at the time. In fact, reports from Vanity Fair and Business Insider indicate Epstein didn’t officially move in until 1996—three years after the alleged incident supposedly occurred.

Cue the timeline debunking, as sleuths on X (formerly known as Twitter) quickly pointed out the glaring discrepancy. So much for the blockbuster revelation. It didn’t take long for Trump’s team to respond, either. His spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, slammed the accusations as “unequivocally false,” calling out the Harris campaign for apparently orchestrating this smear just weeks before the election. Given that Williams was an activist for Barack Obama and announced her claims on a Harris campaign call, the timing couldn’t be more suspicious.
Williams’s allegations have a whiff of déjà vu. Remember the 2016 “Access Hollywood” tape? Democrats thought Trump’s crude remarks would end his political career, but voters saw through the noise, brushing it off as “locker room talk.” Fast forward to 2024, and it seems like the same playbook is in motion—but with even shakier evidence.
Despite this last-minute hit job, Trump appears to be holding steady in the polls. A Wall Street Journal survey released Thursday morning shows Trump with a narrow lead over Kamala Harris, just 13 days before Election Day.
In the end, this feels like another overhyped media attack that’s likely to fizzle out. Voters have seen this movie before, and it didn’t end well for Trump’s opponents. Will history repeat itself? All signs point to yes.
