DOJ released three 2019 FBI 302 interview summaries Thursday—previously withheld as “duplicative”—detailing uncorroborated claims by a woman (identity redacted) alleging Donald Trump abused her in the early-mid 1980s, when she was 13-15 and introduced via Epstein.
Key Allegations
Interviews (July-Oct 2019): Woman claimed Epstein abused her multiple times (e.g., fake babysitting gigs, some in South Carolina—unlinked to Epstein). Second interview: Epstein took her to NY/NJ, Trump abused her there. Fourth: Declined further details. No corroboration; timing predates known Epstein-Trump ties.
DOJ Context and Response
Part of massive Epstein file dump; initial error flagged/corrected. WH’s Karoline Leavitt: “Baseless… disturbed woman with criminal history”; Biden DOJ sat on it 4 years if credible. Trump denies wrongdoing, cites exoneration via full release. Dems (e.g., Rep. Garcia) cried illegal withholding pre-release.
Unsubstantiated claims resurface amid Epstein scrutiny—zero evidence, maximal political spin. Timing suspicious near 2020 election.
