US Justice Department releases documents from Epsteins claims against former President Trump

US Justice Department Releases Additional FBI Documents Related to Jeffrey Epstein Case

The US Justice Department has published additional FBI documents describing interviews with a woman who alleged that President Donald Trump sexually assaulted her when she was between 13 and 15 years old. The documents were previously not made public due to being mistakenly marked as “duplicative” during previous congressionally mandated file releases related to Jeffrey Epstein.

The released documents include descriptions of multiple 2019 interviews the FBI held with the woman, who alleged that she was assaulted by both Epstein and Trump while she was a teenager. In one interview, the woman stated that Epstein took her to “either New York or New Jersey” and introduced her to Trump, before she bit him as he attempted to force her to perform oral sex.

The woman also reported receiving threatening calls over the years demanding she keep quiet about the alleged incident, which she believed were related to Epstein. FBI records suggest that agents stopped speaking with her in 2019.

In response to the allegations, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the claims are “completely baseless accusations” without credible evidence. Trump has denied any wrongdoing related to the Epstein allegations.

The release of these documents comes as the US and Israel launched their war on Iran five days ago, shifting attention away from the Epstein case. Republican Congressman Thomas Massie said that the war would not distract from the Epstein files, while analyst Shaiel Ben-Ephraim stated that it has temporarily diverted media attention away from the issue.
