Gwendolyn Beck, the female banker and ex-girlfriend of disgraced NJ Senator Bob Menendez, took part in orgies with Jeffrey Epstein and his victim Virginia Giuffre, unsealed dispositions claim
A former girlfriend of disgraced New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez was accused by Virginia Giuffre of participating in orgies with her and Jeffrey Epstein, newly released court documents show.
Gwendolyn Beck, now 65, ran for Congress in 2014 as an independent representative from Arlington, Virginia, but was long known as an associate of Epstein.
She was photographed with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago in 1995, and five years later she was back at Mar-a-Lago with Prince Andrew and Melania Knauss, Donald Trump’s girlfriend.
She had met Prince Andrew the year before: in 1999, she spent time with him on Epstein’s Caribbean island and then flew back to Palm Beach, Florida, with Andrew and several others.

According to her LinkedIn, she was vice president of investments for Morgan Stanley – one of Epstein’s banks – at the time.
In January 2016, Virginia Giuffre – who was recruited by Maxwell to work for Epstein in 2000 and took legal action after years of sexual abuse by the pedophile financier – sat for a deposition.
The transcript was published Tuesday.
The lawyer gives Giuffre a list of names and asks which of the names she has not been sexually trafficked as.
“Number 7, Gwendolyn Beck,” she said.
“I wasn’t traded to her. She was just part of one part of the trafficking.”
The lawyer asks what her involvement was.
“She was involved in some orgies,” Giuffre replies.
When asked by the lawyer “which gentlemen were involved in the orgies with you and Mrs. Beck,” Giuffre responds: “As far as I can remember Jeffrey Epstein.”
Beck did not respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment.
In May 2010, Beck was dating New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez and was photographed having dinner with him in the Dominican Republic.

The photos were used in Menendez’s 2015 corruption trial.
Beck also accompanied Menendez to a state dinner hosted in honor of Mexico’s president by Barack and Michelle Obama.
It is unclear when their relationship ended. Last year, Menendez was indicted in connection with a bribery case. He has denied the allegations and remains in office.
Beck ran for Congress in 2014 on a platform of being “fiscally responsible, socially inclusive” and championing a “strong national defense.”
She wrote in one Arlington Now Statement: ‘As a businesswoman I have had two successful careers, one in the financial sector and one in tourism.
‘I rose to become National Sales Manager at Eastern Airlines, and when they closed down operations, I moved to Finance in US Government Debts. I understand how our debt works.
“I wrote a book on consumer financial education and appeared on PBS and Lifetime. I volunteer for the Arlington Agency on Aging, am on the board of directors for ‘Ladies America’ and ‘We Will Survive Cancer.’
She said she was “a first-generation American on my mother’s side, and about a fifth-generation American on my father’s side.”

Beck campaigns for Congress in 2014
As an independent, Epstein donated $12,600 to her 2014 campaign for Congress

She won 5,420 votes and 2.7 percent of the vote. The seat was won by Democrat Don Beyer, with 128,102 votes – 31.1 percent.
Her campaign was boosted by a $12,600 donation from Epstein – his only political donation of 2014. according to Arlington Now.
She defended the donation against the pedophile, who had since been convicted of sex with minors and had spent time in a Florida prison.
“I called every billionaire I know asking for campaign funds, and Mr. Epstein sent the donations,” Beck said via email.
‘I haven’t spoken to him personally in years. During my years at Morgan Stanley (started in 1995), I managed a portion of his mutual funds (about $65 million) and knew him personally.
‘Although the press labels him ‘a man of mystery’ because they cannot explain how he made his money, it is mainly a combination of real estate and complex derivatives.’
Beck continued: “He had a girlfriend at the time who he was close to, and he was a hard-working, thoughtful man (he comes from a poor background and made a lot of money very quickly).
‘I think he went into deep shit when she left (I left Morgan Stanley by then and had no relationship with them), and got involved in some very bad behavior for which he sought therapy and paid for his time in prison.’
She said she accepted his donation out of “forgiveness.”
“I am deeply opposed and shocked by his behavior, but he has paid his debt to society,” she told the newspaper.
“Although he is humanly flawed, he can be a great asset to our nation because he understands finance at a level that most people cannot.”
