US Justice Department releases previously missing Epstein documents with claims against Trump

On Thursday, the US Department of Justice officially released missing FBI records summarizing interviews with an unidentified woman, who alleged a sexual encounter involving Donald Trump.

These documents contain detailed, explicit material regarding the allegations made against him. In light of the recent situation, it is noted that FBI agents interviewed the woman four times in 2019 as part of an in-depth investigation into accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

The White House did not immediately respond to questions about the disclosures, however, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt previously dismissed the women’s claims "completely baseless accusations.”

The Justice Department has cautioned that some of the documents include “untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump.”

The recent disclosure comes as the Justice Department faces scrutiny in Congress over its handling of the Epstein documents, which officials aim to make public. In line with these revelations, Democrats have accused Trump’s administration of withholding records related to the President, and a House committee has voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi so lawmakers can question her about the government's handling of the files.

Trump has clarified that his association with Epstein ended in the mid-2000s and that he was never aware of the financier’s sexual abuse. While reports indicate Trump flew on Epstein’s plane in the 1990s, he has denied doing so, according to Reuters.

Nonetheless, when agents asked during Trump’s first president whether she would be willing to provide more information about Trump, the agent recorded she “asked what the point would be..when there was a strong possibility nothing could be done about it.
