DOJ Releases Previously Missing FBI Records from Epstein Investigation

Federal authorities have disclosed additional FBI interview summaries from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation that were previously withheld. The documents contain allegations made by an unidentified woman during 2019 interviews with federal agents.

WASHINGTON – Federal authorities on Thursday made public previously unreleased FBI interview records from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, documents that contain serious allegations made by an anonymous woman during multiple meetings with agents.

The woman spoke with FBI investigators on four separate occasions during 2019 as federal authorities examined the activities of Epstein, who faced sex trafficking charges. While the Justice Department had earlier confirmed these interviews occurred and released one summary detailing her accusations against Epstein regarding teenage abuse, three additional interview summaries had remained undisclosed until now.

According to the newly released documents, posted on the department’s official website Thursday, the woman alleged that Trump tried to coerce her into performing oral sex following an introduction by Epstein. She claimed this incident occurred in New York or New Jersey during the 1980s when she was 13 to 15 years old.

White House representatives did not provide immediate comment on these revelations. However, according to Politico’s initial reporting on the matter, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described the woman’s accusations as “completely baseless accusations, backed by zero credible evidence.”

Justice Department officials have issued warnings that some documents contain “untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump.” Reuters was unable to verify the woman’s allegations independently, and FBI documentation indicates agents ceased contact with her in 2019.

Department officials explained on social media platform X that Thursday’s released records were part of 15 documents that had been “incorrectly coded as duplicative” and consequently not published previously.

These revelations emerge amid congressional criticism of how the Justice Department has managed Epstein investigation documents, which federal law mandates be made available to the public. Democratic lawmakers have alleged that Trump’s administration has withheld records connected to Trump, prompting a House committee to vote for subpoenaing Attorney General Pam Bondi for questioning about document handling procedures.

Trump has maintained that his relationship with Epstein concluded in the mid-2000s and has denied knowledge of the financier’s criminal activities. Previously disclosed department records indicate Trump used Epstein’s aircraft multiple times during the 1990s, which Trump has disputed. Following initial sexual misconduct allegations against Epstein, Trump contacted Palm Beach’s police chief stating that “everyone has known he’s been doing this,” according to FBI interview documentation.

During the woman’s final recorded interview in October 2019, conducted while Trump served as president, agents inquired whether she would provide additional information about Trump. The agent documented her response, writing that 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.”
