"According to the report, which cites multiple FBI reports included in the Epstein files, Zampolli arranged U.S. visas for young female models before they met Epstein.

One FBI report mentioned that Zampolli arranged an 18-year-old model's visa before she was recruited to give a massage at Epstein's house, where Epstein allegedly raped her.

Zampolli himself has also been accused of rape and sexual assault in a separate case brought by model Victoria Drake, who alleges in an ongoing civil lawsuit that Zampolli drugged and raped her in 2023."

"House Democrats' report says DOJ covering up evidence of Trump's role in alleged Epstein abuse

"Donald Trump says he knew Jeffrey Epstein just like everybody in Palm Beach knew him.' Not exactly," House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said in a statement.

"Evidence involving 11 women tells a completely different and far more damning story about their relationship and the abuse of young women and girls that took place in their network."

Based on survivor accounts, FBI records, documents released through the Epstein Files Transparency Act and interviews conducted by the committee's staff, the report alleges that Trump may have been a co-conspirator in Epstein's alleged trafficking and abuse of young women in the 1990s, along with Paolo Zampolli, a former modeling agent who served as a U.S. special envoy for global partnerships until earlier this month.

The report cites FBI records that describe several young models having sexual relationships with Zampolli or connections to his modeling agency who said they were later sexually assaulted by Epstein.

Zampolli has said he represented Melania Knauss " now Melania Trump " and organized her first meeting with Trump, but the House Judiciary Committee report contradicts that claim, saying a former longtime Epstein associate told the FBI that Epstein made the introduction."

"The report concludes that Trump and Paolo Zampolli, a former modeling agent and longtime friend of the president as well as a former senior Trump administration official, "may have been co-conspirators" in Epstein's sex trafficking ring in the 1990s.

The report also claims that Trump's Justice Department deliberately or prematurely shut down investigations into Trump-related allegations made by some Epstein survivors.

It also accuses Attorney General Todd Blanche of specifically instructing Maxwell not to discuss a survivor whose account implicated the president."
