Amid ongoing scrutiny of President Donald Trump and his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein child sex trafficking case, newly unearthed video shows Trump taking part as a judge in a beauty pageant that featured models as young as 14 years old.

The video in question shows Trump as one of 10 judges in Elite Model Agency’s 1991 “Look of the Year” competition.

Within the video, young women and girls walk in front of Trump and others in order to be judged on both their looks and “personality,” according to the narrator.

Contestants have recalled that they were “encouraged to parade downstairs, one by one, and dance for Trump” and other judges.

This wasn’t being judged or part of the competition – it was for their entertainment,” said one model, who was 15 when she competed.

The video’s circulation comes as Trump is dealing with fallout following his administration’s release of two pages of information regarding the Epstein child sex trafficking case.

In addition to judging the competition, Trump also hosted the competition at his New York properties in 1991 and 1992. »
