“Kate”: New York introduction and Florida travel
The report cites Kate’s FBI interview, EFTA00158676, in which she said Maxwell presented her to Trump at a New York party, encouraged the introduction and later brought her to Mar-a-Lago, where she toured the property with Trump, Epstein and Maxwell present. It also cites a December 15, 2020 prosecutor email, EFTA00158675, summarizing her lawyer’s statement that Maxwell set her up on a date with Trump.
The report describes later travel to Florida and accommodation in a Trump property. Kate described Maxwell’s introduction as resembling how Maxwell had trafficked her to Epstein. The report expressly says Kate did not explicitly allege misconduct by Trump. Her accounts of abuse by Epstein at his other properties remain attributed to Epstein; they are not reassigned to Trump.
The White House response
White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis told Spectrum News on October 26 that the allegations were false and characterized the report as politically motivated. She said Trump had removed Epstein from Mar-a-Lago and had been exonerated. The committee’s report disputes Trump’s descriptions of the friendship and expulsion, citing flight records, correspondence and witness accounts. These statements are attributed to their respective speakers.
