Ghislaine Maxwell just characterized Donald Trump's relationship to Jeffrey Epstein as nothing more than an acquaintanceship. Nevertheless, some women managed to strike up relationships with both men.
I’ve already written about two Russian women who were closely tied to Jeffrey Epstein, Lana Pozhidaeva and Masha Drokova, both of whom appeared to have ties to Russian intelligence.
But there’s another Russian woman in Epstein’s world who was of interest, and while she might not have been tied to Russian intelligence, she was exceptionally close to another figure who plays a key role in the Epstein saga—Donald J. Trump.
I’m referring to Anna Malova, a Russian model and beauty pageant contestant who spent part of her time living in a Trump Tower condo and part in Florida where she was frequently ensconced either in Mar-a-Lago or one of Epstein’s homes.
In the early nineties, before she came to the United States, Malova had come in second in the Miss Russia 1993 pageant and had won the 1994 Miss Baltic Sea Title. In 1995, she left Moscow for Florida where she learned English and was profiled by the Tampa Tribune as the “reigning Miss Russia.”
Enter Donald Trump.
As I reported in American Kompromat:
Notwithstanding the fact that Trump was still married to his second wife, Marla Maples, Anna moved into a thirtieth-floor condo in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. There, according to an item in the New York Post, her lavish accommodations were taken care of “courtesy of an unidentified sugar daddy.”
Not long afterward, in October 1996, Trump bought three beauty pageants from ITT Corp.: Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss Teen USa.
A little more than a year later, in 1998. Malova competed in the Miss Universe pageant representing Russia. According to the Honolulu Star Bulletin, Malova faltered badly when she was asked to compare Russia’s television and culture with Ghana’s—and couldn’t come up with an answer.
Even though Malova made the finals, New York Magazine noted that the mere fact that she had entered the pageant raised a serious question. “Oddly, Anna Malova was allowed to compete in this year’s contest(1998) even though she was Miss Russia in 1995,” the magazine reported. “According to beauty-world sources, it’s not a coincidence that the stunning Slav, who wound up a finalist in last month’s even, is a friend of Donald Trump, co-owner of the event.
“Did the Donald pull a few strings on his old friend’s behalf?”
When New York asked the Miss Universe Pageant for documentation, they declined to furnish it to the magazine.
In the meantime, Malova began spending time with both Trump and Epstein. According to documents submitted to a Florida court, flight logs showed that in February 1999, Malova, then 27, flew on Epstein’s black Gulfstream, the so-called “Lolita Express, with Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew back from Epstein’s Little Saint James island back to Florida.
Over the next two decades, Malova cut an erratic figure. Arrested repeatedly on drug-related charges—including, in 2010, criminal possession of narcotics, forgery, and criminal impersonation of a physician— she also appeared in gossip columns as the love interest of men ranging from comedian Garry Shandling to hedge fund billionaire George Soros, some forty-two years her senior.
But she wasn’t the only woman who spent time with both Trump and Epstein. In 1997, According to The New Yorker, Trump, then fifty, seemed to fall for a friend of Ghislaine’s, twenty-year old London model Anouska De Georgiou and flew her and Ghislaine to Mar-a-Lago for the weekend, after which he installed Anouska in an apartment in Trump Tower.
But before long, Anouska told NBC News, she was also being flown to Epstein’s homes all over the world. More than twenty years later, in 2019, Amouska’s court testimony was cited in the British tabloid The Sun, which alleged that she had been abused by Epstein when she was “young and idealistic.”

After reading House of Trump I’ve been surprised that more of your research hasn’t been picked up by the media. It seems clear that Trump has been involved in money laundering with the Russians since he was on the verge of bankruptcy in the 80’s.
Thank you for all you do to bring this crucial information to the public.
OMG. One more story. Thank you so much for all your research. I’ve read all your books, Craig.🙏
