Overview
- Justice Department officials reposted 2019 FBI interview memoranda they said were erroneously omitted or coded as duplicates in earlier Epstein releases.
- The newly available summaries describe a woman’s account of abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and her unverified claim that Trump assaulted her in the 1980s when she was a minor.
- The accuser’s identity is not public, her statements have not been corroborated, and there is no indication of charges or a new investigation involving Trump based on these interviews.
- The House Oversight Committee voted with five Republicans joining Democrats to require Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the handling of the Epstein files.
- The White House dismissed the allegation as baseless, while victims’ advocates and media analyses continue to question missing records and flawed redactions, including a Wall Street Journal finding of roughly 47,000 absent files.
