Newly unsealed Epstein court documents contain disturbing accusations about disgraced New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez’s former girlfriend, Gwendolyn Beck.
“Beck, 65, a longtime associate of Epstein’s who began dating Menendez in 2010, was singled out by his victim Virginia Giuffre in a January 2016 deposition, a transcript of which was finally released to the public on Tuesday,” according to the New York Post.
During the deposition, Giuffre was reportedly shown a list of names and asked which people on the list she wasn’t sexually trafficked to as a child.
“Number 7, Gwendolyn Beck,” she replied. “I wasn’t trafficked to her. She was just part of some of the trafficking.”
An attorney then asked Giuffre how exactly Beck was involved with Epstein.
“She was involved in some of the orgies,” the sex abuse victim replied.
The attorney continued by asking her “what gentlemen” were involved in the orgies.
“As far as I can recall, Jeffrey Epstein,” Giuffre replied.
What remains unclear is whether these orgies occurred when Beck was dating Menendez.
“Her relationship with Epstein has been well-documented, though this is the first time she has been accused of any wrongdoing,” the Post notes. “Beck was previously photographed with Epstein and his madam Ghislaine Maxwell at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in 1995.”
“She was also pictured five years later back at the Florida estate with Epstein, Prince Andrew, and Trump’s then-girlfriend Melania Knauss. Her 2014 campaign for Congress was even bolstered by a $12,600 donation from Epstein — his only political contribution that year, according to Arlington Now,” according to the Post.
Note that the contribution came after Epstein was convicted of having sexual relations with minors.

Beck reportedly defended the contribution at the time by saying she’d accepted it out of “forgiveness.”
“I haven’t spoken with him personally in years,” she reportedly said. “During my years at Morgan Stanley (started in 1995), I managed a portion of his investment funds (about $65 million) and knew him personally.”
“At the time, he had a girlfriend he was very close to, and was a hard-working, thoughtful man (he comes from a poor background and made a lot of money really fast). I think he went off the deep end when she left (I left Morgan Stanley by this time and had no relationship with them), and got involved in very bad behaviors which he’s sought therapy for and paid his time in jail.”
She added that though she was “deeply opposed [to] and shocked by his behavior,” that he had “paid his debt to society”
“Although humanly flawed, he can be a great asset to our nation because he understands finance on a level most people can’t comprehend,” she continued.
Despite the donations, she lost the 2014 race to Democrat Don Beyer.
Prior to that, she worked as the vice president of investments for Morgan Stanley. It’s while there that she started dating Menendez in 2010.
“The banker was photographed with him in the Dominican Republic in 2010 — a picture that would later be used in the senator’s 2015 corruption trial. It is unclear whether he knew of Beck’s relationship with Epstein when they were dating,” the Post notes.

At the time of the scandal, Menendez was accused “of taking lavish hospitality from a Medicare fraudster doctor who asked Menendez to secure visas for his bevy of young mistresses; to intervene in an audit that would have stopped him ripping off taxpayers; and to stop Customs and Border Patrol disrupting his side-hustle screening cargo at the Dominican Republic’s ports.”
The congressman denied the charges and accused prosecutors of cooking up a wild conspiracy theory.
Years later, he’s now facing a new set of charges for allegedly “taking gold bars and bribes and stashing hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash around his house in return for using his ‘power and influence’ — including his position as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — to benefit the Egyptian government and two local businessmen.”
Like before, he has once again pleaded innocent.
