Disgraced New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez’s ex-girlfriend allegedly participated in orgies with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and underage girls, newly-released court documents claim.
Gwendolyn Beck, 65, a longtime associate of Epstein’s 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.
As part of the deposition, Giuffre was provided with a list of names and was asked which ones she was not trafficked to as a teenager.
“Number 7, Gwendolyn Beck,” she replies, according to the transcript. “I wasn’t trafficked to her, she was just part of some of the trafficking.”
An attorney asks Giuffre what Beck’s involvement was, to which the victim replies: “She was involved in some of the orgies.”
The attorney then asks Giuffre “what gentlemen were involved in the orgies with you and Ms. Beck?”
“As far as I can recall, Jeffrey Epstein,” she replies.
Beck did not immediately respond to request for comment.
Her relationship with Epstein has been well-documented, though this is the first time she has been accused of any wrongdoing.
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.
Beck said at the time she asked a number of billionaires in her Rolodex for donations, and accepted one from Epstein out of “forgiveness,” following the financier’s conviction for having sex with minors and subsequent jail time in Florida.
“I haven’t spoken with him personally in years,” she told the outlet.
“During my years at Morgan Stanley (started in 1995), I managed a portion of his investment funds (about $65 million) and knew him personally.
“While the press has tagged him ‘a man of mystery’ because they can’t explain how he made his money, it’s mostly a combination of real estate and complex derivatives,” Beck noted.
She continued: “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.”
Beck said she was “deeply opposed [to] and shocked by his behavior” but said he “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 added.
Beck, who ran on a platform of being “fiscally responsible, socially inclusive” and in favor of a “strong national defense,” wound up losing the Virginia race to Democrat Don Beyer after securing only 2.7% of the vote.
She had earlier worked as the vice president of investments for Morgan Stanley, according to her LinkedIn profile, and in May 2010, she began dating Sen. Menendez.
The banker was photographed with him in the Dominican Republic — 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.
Menendez was accused at the time of taking lavish hospitality from a Medicare fraudster doctor who asked Menendez secure visas for his bevy of young mistresses; to intervene in an audit which 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.
Menendez denied the charges and called them a conspiracy by overreaching prosecutors.
But he is now facing charges of 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.
He has once again denied the charges.
