US Justice Department Releases Files Detailing Sexual Assault Allegations Against Trump

The U.S. Department of Justice has released additional Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) documents detailing interviews with a woman who alleged that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her after she was introduced to him by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

According to the department, the documents had not been made public during earlier congressionally mandated releases related to Epstein because they were mistakenly marked as “duplicative.”

The newly- released files contain summaries of multiple FBI interviews conducted in 2019 with the woman, who alleged that she was assaulted by both Epstein and Trump when she was between the ages of 13 and 15.

In one of the interviews, the woman told investigators that Epstein took her to “either New York or New Jersey,” where he introduced her to Trump. She claimed that during the encounter, Trump attempted to force her to perform oral sex, prompting her to bite him.

The woman also alleged that she and people close to her had received threatening calls over the years demanding that she remain silent, which she believed were connected to Epstein.

Trump has denied any wrongdoing related to the allegations.

The Justice Department had previously stated that some documents released in connection with the Epstein investigation contain “untrue and sensationalist claims” about the former president.

Meanwhile, Democrats have accused the Trump administration of attempting to conceal details of the Epstein investigation that could negatively affect Trump.

On Wednesday, a U.S. House committee voted to subpoena Pam Bondi to answer questions regarding the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein-related documents.
