DOJ Releases Omitted FBI Files in Epstein Case, Including Uncorroborated Allegation Against Trump

The department says a coding error kept the 2019 interview summaries from the January release, with more records now queued for publication.

Overview

  • Newly posted FBI summaries detail four 2019 interviews with a woman who alleges Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump in the 1980s, when she says she was between 13 and 15, and that Trump assaulted her.
  • Justice Department officials say the documents were mistakenly categorized as duplicates in the initial January trove that totaled more than three million partially redacted pages.
  • The newly surfaced claims are characterized in the files as non‑corroborated; the accuser’s identity is redacted and, in an October 2019 session, she declined to provide further details about Trump.
  • No criminal charges have been filed in connection with the allegation; the White House dismisses the account as totally unfounded, and Trump denies wrongdoing.
  • The publication dispute has escalated into oversight action as Democrats allege concealment, a House committee votes to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi, and DOJ says it is preparing roughly 47,000 additional Epstein‑related files while redacting to protect victims.
