Steve Siebold Links Trump to Epstein Through Pageant History

Public speaker and author Steve Siebold has raised serious allegations regarding Donald Trump and his connection to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. In a statement made on March 14, 2024, Siebold suggested that a potential “smoking gun” could be found in the history of the beauty pageants formerly owned by Trump, specifically the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA competitions.

The renewed scrutiny of Trump coincides with the ongoing release of documents related to Epstein, who had established ties with several influential figures before his death in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. Siebold highlighted that evidence possibly illuminating Trump’s relationship with Epstein may exist within the operations of the pageants during Trump’s ownership from 1996 to 2015.

In a video posted on TikTok, Siebold stated, “I’ve sat on this information for years. It’s very dangerous to come out with this publicly.” He emphasized that his experience as a judge and trainer in these pageants gave him unique insights into their inner workings. “The smoking gun is Miss USA and Miss Teen USA,” he asserted, adding that he trained numerous winners and runners-up in public speaking to help promote their platforms.

Trump’s ownership of the Miss Universe organization, which includes both Miss USA and Miss Teen USA, ended after NBC, co-owner from 2002 to 2015, severed ties with him over controversial remarks he made about immigrants. This termination of contracts came amidst increasing public scrutiny of Trump’s behavior and statements.

Previous contestants have alleged inappropriate behavior from Trump. For instance, former Miss Arizona Tasha Dixon recounted an incident from 2001 where Trump entered her dressing room while some contestants were in compromising situations. In a 2005 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Trump appeared to corroborate such claims by stating that he would “go backstage before a show and everyone’s getting dressed.”

Siebold cautioned anyone looking to investigate the pageants further, suggesting that they might uncover unsettling information. “If you decide to pursue this in the media, be very, very careful. These people are dangerous,” he warned.

As investigations into Trump’s past continue, the implications of Siebold’s claims could further complicate the former president’s public image and political aspirations. The connections to Epstein, alongside the troubling accusations surrounding the beauty pageants, may lead to more inquiries and discussions in the months to come.
