Justice Department publishes some missing Epstein files related to Trump
NPR • • nation
Key Points:
- The Justice Department released 16 new pages of FBI interview summaries and two intake form pages related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, following an NPR investigation that found dozens of pages were previously withheld from the Epstein files public database.
- The new documents include detailed claims from a woman who said Epstein introduced her to Trump around 1983 when she was about 13, alleging Trump forced her head down to his exposed penis, which she bit, and that Trump then struck her and told her to leave.
- Despite the release, 37 pages of records remain missing, including interview notes, a law enforcement report, and license records, with the Justice Department stating withheld documents are "privileged, duplicates, or relate to an ongoing investigation."
