The US Justice Department has released previously unpublished FBI documents containing interviews with a woman who claims that President Donald Trump sexually assaulted her after being introduced to him by Jeffrey Epstein.
The documents, which had been withheld under earlier congressional releases, were reportedly misclassified as “duplicative.” The Justice Department confirmed that the oversight had prevented them from being made public earlier.
Allegations and FBI Interviews
The released files detail several 2019 FBI interviews with the woman, who alleges she was abused by both Epstein and Trump between the ages of 13 and 15. In one account, she said Epstein took her to New York or New Jersey and introduced her to Trump.
She also reported receiving threatening phone calls over the years, which she believed were connected to Epstein, urging her to remain silent about the abuse.
Political Fallout and Investigation
President Trump has denied any wrongdoing in connection with the Epstein allegations. The Justice Department previously stated that some of the documents “contain untrue and sensationalist claims” against him.
Meanwhile, Democrats have accused the Trump administration of covering up details in the Epstein investigation that could be politically damaging.
On Wednesday, a House committee voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to explain the Justice Department’s handling of the newly released documents.
The release intensifies scrutiny of both Trump and the government’s handling of Epstein-related files amid ongoing congressional investigations.
