DOJ Releases New Epstein Files With Uncorroborated Allegation Against President Trump

NPR still counts 37 pages missing from the public archive.

Overview

  • The Justice Department posted about 16 pages that include three 2019 FBI interview summaries and intake notes in which an unidentified woman alleges Trump sexually and physically abused her when she was a minor.
  • Officials said the records were previously withheld because they were incorrectly coded as duplicates, and they have identified additional miscategorized documents for review and release.
  • The FBI attempted follow-up questioning in 2019, but the woman stopped cooperating, leaving her claims unverified; the materials note that inclusion in the files does not establish guilt.
  • The White House labeled the accusations completely baseless and said the disclosures exonerate Trump, who has not been charged in connection with Epstein.
  • House Oversight advanced subpoenas, including for Attorney General Pam Bondi, to scrutinize DOJ handling of the archive as media audits continue to report remaining gaps.
