A former girlfriend of disgraced New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez was accused by Virginia Giuffre of attending orgies with her and Jeffrey Epstein, recently unsealed court documents reveal.
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 was again at Mar-a-Lago five years later 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 LinkedIn, she was then vice president of investments at Morgan Stanley – one of Epstein's banks.
In January 2016, Virginia Giuffre — who was recruited by Maxwell to work with Epstein in 2000 and took legal action after years of sexual abuse by the pedophile financier — sat for a deposition.
The transcript was released on Tuesday.
The lawyer provides Giuffre with a list of names and asks which names she was not sexually trafficked with.
“Number 7, Gwendolyn Beck,” she said.
“I wasn’t sold to her. She was only involved in part of the human trafficking operation.'
The lawyer asks what she was involved in.
“She was involved in a few orgies,” Giuffre replies.
When the lawyer asked “which gentlemen were involved in the orgies with you and Ms. Beck,” Giuffre replied: “As far as I can remember, Jeffrey Epstein.”
Beck did not respond to 's request for comment.
In May 2010, Beck dated New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez and was photographed dining 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 by Barack and Michelle Obama in honor of the Mexican president.
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 with the slogan “fiscally responsible, socially inclusive” and for “strong national defense.”
She wrote in a statement to Arlington Now: “As a businesswoman, I have had two successful careers, one in finance and one in tourism.”
“I rose to Manager of National Sales at Eastern Airlines and when they went out of business, moved to US Government Debt’s treasury department – I understand how our debt works.”
“I have written a consumer financial education book and been featured on PBS and Lifetime. I volunteer for the Arlington Agency on Aging and serve on the boards of Ladies America and We Will Survive Cancer.
She said she is “a first-generation American on her mother's side and about a fifth-generation American on her father's side.”

Epstein donated $12,600 to her campaign for Congress in 2014 as an independent

She won 5,420 votes, securing 2.7 percent of the vote. Democrat Don Beyer won the seat with 128,102 votes – 31.1 percent.
Her campaign was bolstered by a $12,600 donation from Epstein — his only political donation in 2014, according to Arlington Now.
She defended the donation from 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 and asked for campaign funds, and Mr. Epstein sent the donations,” Beck said by email.
“I haven't spoken to him personally in years. During my years at Morgan Stanley (since 1995), I managed a portion of his investment funds (approximately $65 million) and knew him personally.
“While the press has labeled him a 'mystery man' because they cannot explain how he made his money, much of it is through a combination of real estate and complex derivatives.”
Beck continued: “He had a girlfriend at the time who was very close to him and was a hard-working, thoughtful man (he came from a poor background and made a lot of money very quickly).”
“I think he was upset when she left (I have since left Morgan Stanley and had no relationship with them) and engaged 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 against it [to] and shocked at his behavior, but he has paid his debt to society,” she told the newspaper.
“Although he is flawed as a human being, he can be a great asset to our nation because he understands finance at a level that most people cannot understand.”
