Epstein files with claims against Trump released by US Justice Department
Al Jazeera • • nation
Key Points:
- The US Justice Department released previously withheld FBI documents detailing interviews with a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her as a teenager after being introduced to him by Jeffrey Epstein.
- The documents, mistakenly marked as duplicates in earlier releases, include the woman’s claims that Epstein introduced her to Trump and that she bit Trump during an attempted sexual assault.
- The woman and her associates reportedly received threatening calls over the years to keep silent, which she believed were linked to Epstein, but FBI interviews with her ceased in late 2019.
- Trump and the White House have denied the allegations, calling them baseless and lacking credible evidence, while the Justice Department noted some claims in the documents are untrue and sensationalist.
