US EditionDOJ Releases Missing Epstein Files Containing Allegations Against Trump
The Department of Justice disclosed Epstein files including FBI interviews with an accuser alleging Trump assaulted her, though many claims remain unverified, officials said.
- Last Friday, the DOJ released previously missing Epstein records that include FBI interviews with an unnamed woman accuser alleging Trump sexual assault, which critics called unlikely.
- The DOJ says the files were withheld because they had been mistakenly labeled as duplicates after missing records were discovered in February.
- The accuser underwent four FBI interviews, with the first naming Epstein but not Trump, while FBI interviews two through four accused Trump and were not released earlier; DOJ's note on unverified, uncorroborated allegations stresses they do not establish wrongdoing.
- On Sunday, former Justice Department attorney Dave Aronberg criticized the Trump administration and called the DOJ's explanation 'unlikely', saying decisions are 'being made out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue' with calls for additional review and 'more digging'.
- The development positions DOJ transparency at the center of scrutiny, as the omission and later release raise questions about public perception of President Donald Trump, despite no charges.
