What newly released Epstein files reveal about sexual abuse allegations against Donald Trump

The US Justice Department on Thursday released more FBI records related to the years-long investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. This includes interviews of an unidentified woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexual abuse, a charge he has constantly denied.

The Justice Department had previously released a log confirming that the interviews took place, but released a summary of only one of those four meetings, in which she accused Epstein of molesting her when she was a teenager.

She also claimed Trump attempted to force her to perform oral sex after Epstein introduced her to the future president in New York or New Jersey in the 1980s when she was between 13 and 15 years old.

The woman further alleged that Trump hit her after she rejected his advances.

According to her, she and people close to her received threatening calls over the years demanding she keep quiet about what she believed was related to Epstein.

In the report of the woman's final interview, conducted in October 2019, during Trump's first presidency, FBI agents asked whether she would be willing to provide more information about Trump.

In response, the agent wrote, she "asked what the point would be of providing the information at this point in her life when there was a strong possibility nothing could be done about it."

Politico, which first reported the disclosures, said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the woman's claims "completely baseless accusations, backed by zero credible evidence."

These documents were part of the records the DOJ had held back from the public, which, according to the agency, was the result of them being “incorrectly coded as duplicative.”

The DOJ and the Trump administration have come under heavy criticism from some Republicans and even MAGA supporters over the alleged cover-up of Epstein's ties with the rich and powerful, including Trump.

This includes an alleged letter written by Epstein to convicted former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar.

In the letter, allegedly written from jail, Epstein tells Nassar that "our president shared a love of young, nubile girls."

After the letter caused much uproar, the DOJ and FBI clarified that it was fake.

The FBI also said that the handwriting on the letter did not appear to match Epstein’s. They also noted that the letter was postmarked from Northern Virginia three days after Epstein's death.
