DOJ releases missing Epstein files including Trump accuser interviews

  • The Department of Justice has released new files from its Jeffrey Epstein archive, including three memos detailing FBI interviews with a woman who made a sexual assault allegation against Donald Trump.
  • The DOJ stated these documents were previously withheld after being “incorrectly coded as duplicative” and not released in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
  • The accuser alleges that when she was underage, Epstein introduced her to Trump, who then sexually assaulted her and discussed blackmail and money laundering with Epstein.
  • White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the claims as “completely baseless accusations, backed by zero credible evidence.”
  • The FBI interviews with the accuser took place in 2019, and she later expressed doubts about the value of making allegations due to the statute of limitations.
