The Justice Department has releaseddocuments detailing interviews conducted by the FBI with a woman who accused both Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump of sexual assault.
The move comes followingreportslast month that the DOJ had only published documents relating to the first of four interviews with the woman in which she alleged she was abused by Epstein when she was a minor. That document did not mention Trump.
In addition to the woman’s interviews, an analysis conducted bythe Wall Street Journalon Tuesday found thatmore than 40,000 documentswere missing from the online file cache. In a statement to the Daily Beast, the DOJ said that the files were offline for review “and should be ready for re-production by the end of the week.”
After Democrats announced their intent to open an investigation into the missing files, the DOJclaimedon X that, “Should any document be found to have been improperly tagged in the review process and is responsive to the Act, the Department will of course publish it, consistent with the law.”
On Thursday,three“302”memossummarizing the woman’s interviews with the FBI were finally uploaded online. The memos contain graphic and troubling allegations against both Epstein and Trump. Two pages of an intake form documenting the initial FBI call made by a friend of the woman were also uploaded.
Trump has consistently maintained his innocence in connection with Epstein and has claimed the files have “totally exonerated” him.
Responding to a request for comment from the Daily Beast, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: “These are completely baseless accusations, backed by zero credible evidence, from a sadly disturbed woman who has an extensive criminal history. The total baselessness of these accusations is also supported by the obvious fact that Joe Biden’s department of justice knew about them for four years and did nothing with them — because they knew President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong. As we have said countless times, President Trump has been totally exonerated by the release of the Epstein Files.”
In the interviews, conducted in August and October 2019 after Epstein wasarrestedfor the sex trafficking of minors, the unnamed woman alleges that she was introduced to Trump by Epstein in either New York or New Jersey—she recalls being taken to a “very tall building”—when she was between 13 and 15 years old in the 1980s.
She goes on to allege that Trump ordered everyone else present to leave the room, and then “mentioned something to the effect of, ‘Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be,’” before unzipping his pants and putting her head “down to his penis.”
The woman told FBI agents that she proceeded to bite Trump, at which point heallegedlypulled her hair, punched her on the side of the head, and exclaimed, “Get this little b---h the hell out of here.”
In the interviews, the woman also describes nicknames that she claims Trump and Epstein would use to refer to young women: “fresh meat”, “untainted,” and “not jaded.”
She noted that it appeared that the president was “jealous” of Epstein, telling the interviewers that their relationship “included a certain amount of jealousy” but that, “at some point, they ended up on level playing fields.”
The woman also alleged that Epstein was blackmailing people, and that Trump knew about it, explaining to the FBI agents that she heard the pair talking about it. She also claimed that she had knowledge of illegal building permits Trump had used, and said that she heard him discussing laundering money through casinos.
In her third interview with the FBI, the woman described receiving threatening phone calls, as well as multiple incidents where she was “almost run off of the road” by cars.
The memo states that, speaking under her breath, the woman said that if Epstein wasn’t responsible for the threatening phone calls, maybe it was the “other one.” When asked for the identity of the “other one,” she replied, “Trump.”
