Overview
- NBC News reports that summaries from three of four 2019 FBI interviews with a South Carolina Epstein survivor are absent from both the public release and the unredacted set for Congress.
- A DOJ evidence catalog lists interviews on July 24, Aug. 7, Aug. 20 and Oct. 16, 2019, yet only the July 24 summary appears in the posted files.
- Rep. Robert Garcia says he inspected the unredacted collection at DOJ and could not find the listed interview memos, calling the absence a violation and alleging a cover-up.
- DOJ states all responsive documents were produced or withheld under standard categories such as duplicates, privilege or ongoing investigations, and says it is reviewing flagged items for possible republication.
- FBI materials from 2025 reference the allegation involving President Trump while noting many such tips lacked credibility or contact information, and the White House calls the claims unfounded and false.
