The claim is about the act of alleging, and multiple sources confirm that Beatrice Keul, a former Miss Switzerland, alleged in a House Judiciary Democrats' report that Trump raped her at the Plaza Hotel in November 1993. The sources spell her name Keul (one says Coyle), but the post itself says Coole, and the details match.
The host relays this claim without endorsing it. It counts as passed on, not against the post.
What was said
… The Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation are doing everything they can to keep the American people in the dark about it. The report offered new evidence from Beatrice Coole, a former Miss Switzerland, who says Trump used a pageant at the Plaza Hotel in New York City as a hunting ground to prey on young victims and that Trump raped her there in 1993, leaving her bleeding and bruised.

Supports. Reuters reports that the House Judiciary Committee Democrats' 53-page report includes a new allegation that Trump raped a beauty pageant contestant in 1993 at the Plaza Hotel, and that the contestant is a former Miss Switzerland who told the committee this.[2]
Supports. Snopes reports that the allegation is featured in the Democrats' report and that Keul, a former Miss Switzerland, described the incident as rape in her account to the committee, while noting it could not be independently verified.[1][3]
Supports. PEOPLE and The New Republic both report that Keul alleges Trump raped her at the Plaza Hotel in November 1993 according to the House Democrats' report.[4][5]
Context. The White House denies the allegations, with spokesperson Lauren Bis calling them untrue, and Trump has not been charged with a crime; the allegation remains unproven.[2][3][4][6]
Context. Sources spell the name as Keul, with one outlet using Coyle; the post uses Coole. The same details (former Miss Switzerland, Plaza Hotel, 1993) indicate the same person.[1][7][8]
