US Justice Department releases Epstein records with allegations against Trump

The United States Justice Department has released previously missing FBI records summarising interviews with a woman who made allegations against former US President Donald Trump in connection with accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

The records, which were posted on the Justice Department’s website on Thursday, detail four interviews conducted by FBI agents with the unidentified woman in 2019. These interviews were part of an ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Previously, only a summary of one interview had been made public, in which the woman accused Epstein of molesting her when she was a teenager.

The newly disclosed documents reveal that the woman also claimed Trump attempted to force her to engage in sexual acts after Epstein introduced her to Trump in New York or New Jersey during the 1980s. According to the records, the woman stated she was between 13 and 15 years old at the time of the alleged encounter.

Reports indicate that the White House did not immediately respond to questions regarding these disclosures. The release of the documents follows earlier confirmation from the Justice Department that the interviews had taken place, though the full details were not previously available.

Images of Trump alongside Epstein have also been highlighted by campaign groups, according to reports. However, the newly released records focus on the woman’s statements and the FBI’s documentation of her allegations.

There is no further information provided about the outcome of the investigation or any official response from Trump or his representatives in the released documents. Sources note that Politico first reported on the disclosures.
