Post and Courier Verifies Background Details in Epstein Files Alleging Trump Assault

Key FBI memos are now public, leaving unresolved gaps in the archive alongside a White House denial.

Overview

  • Newly posted FBI interview summaries detail an unnamed woman's account that Trump forced a sexual act in the 1980s and struck her after she bit him, as recorded in 2019 memos.
  • The Post and Courier corroborated multiple non-assault details from her FBI interviews, including her mother renting a South Carolina home to Epstein, family legal records, and links to an Ohio businessman tied to a for‑profit school, while withholding her name.
  • The assault allegation remains uncorroborated and has not led to charges; records show the FBI interviewed the woman four times in 2019 and logged a tip from a friend relaying her claim.
  • DOJ officials say earlier omissions were caused by files miscoded as duplicates, while NPR’s analysis indicates roughly 37 related pages are still not public and likely include agents’ notes.
  • Other released documents recount separate allegations, including a 16‑year‑old who said Epstein put Trump on speakerphone during a massage and a woman who said she gave Trump a foot massage on Epstein’s plane, which the White House rejects as baseless.
