DoJ releases Epstein files containing uncorroborated abuse allegations against Trump

"The materials released on Thursday describe a series of FBI interviews conducted in 2019 with a woman who alleged that she had been sexually assaulted by Epstein, and by Trump, in the 1980s, when she was a minor. The woman had contacted the FBI shortly after Epstein's 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges. Her allegations have not been verified, and the FBI never brought charges related to her claims."

"Justice department officials have said the files were initially withheld because they were mistakenly categorized as duplicates. The Guardian reported last week that some of her statements appear to contradict what is known about Epstein's life in the early 1980s."

"In a statement to the Guardian, Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, called the woman's allegations completely baseless and said that they are backed by zero credible evidence. The total baselessness of these accusations is also supported by the obvious fact that Joe Biden's department of justice knew about them for four years and did nothing with them because they knew President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong."

The Justice Department released additional documents related to Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday, including FBI memos from 2019 interviews with a woman alleging sexual assault by both Epstein and Trump when she was a minor in the 1980s. The woman contacted the FBI after Epstein's 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges. Her allegations remain unverified, and the FBI never brought charges based on her claims. Some of her statements appear to contradict known facts about Epstein's life during that period. The files were initially withheld due to being mistakenly categorized as duplicates. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein's criminal activity. White House officials have characterized the allegations as completely baseless and lacking credible evidence.
