DOJ releases documents detailing sexual assault allegations against Trump

The US Department of Justice has released records containing sexual assault allegations against President Donald Trump, stemming from an interview with a woman who claims she was introduced to him by Jeffrey Epstein.

According to the summary of the FBI interview, the woman’s primary allegation is that Trump struck her after she bit his penis while he was attempting to force her to perform oral sex.

These three files were released amid an investigation by Democrats into whether the Department of Justice deliberately withheld materials concerning sexual assault allegations against Trump.

Trump has denied any wrongdoing regarding the Epstein allegations and has not been charged with any crimes in connection with them.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt characterized the allegations as “completely baseless accusations from a deeply troubled woman with a history of extensive criminal activity, which are supported by zero credible evidence.”

“These accusations are entirely baseless, a fact further supported by the reality that Joe Biden’s Department of Justice was aware of them for four years and did nothing because they knew President Trump had done absolutely nothing wrong,” Leavitt said. “As we have stated countless times, President Trump has been completely exonerated by the release of the Epstein Files.”

In the files, which were prepared between August and October 2019, the woman—whose identity remains redacted—claims that between the ages of 13 and 15, Epstein took her to New York or New Jersey and introduced her to Trump in “a very high building, in massive rooms.”

The woman claimed that Trump remarked he did not like her being a “boy-girl.” The interview notes interpret this as a reference to a tomboy.

The woman stated that other people were present, though she could not recall their identities.

According to the interview notes, Trump asked the others to leave the room, then said something to the effect of, “Let me teach you how little girls should be.”

The woman recalled that Trump then unzipped his pants and forced her head “toward his penis.” She stated that she “bit it,” and in response, Trump pulled her hair and struck the side of her head.

The woman remembered Trump saying, “Get this little bitch out of here.” At that moment, she said, others returned to the room.

The FBI interview notes contain no information regarding how the incident concluded or how the woman managed to extricate herself from the situation.

In one of the interviews, the woman explained that she had begun working with attorneys and wanted to be transparent about a pending lawsuit “in case the agents decided there might be a conflict of interest.”

The woman stated that she or her relatives had received a series of threatening phone calls, one of which had been left on a colleague’s phone but was directed at her.

She told the FBI she believed these calls were related to Epstein, and, according to the interview notes, whispered, “If it’s not Epstein, then perhaps it is ‘the other one.’” When the agents asked who she meant, the notes indicate she said, “Trump.”

In the final interview, the agents asked again about her allegations regarding Trump, noting in the document that he was “the current US president.”

According to the interview summary, the woman asked, “What would be the point of providing this information when there is a strong possibility that nothing can be done about it at this point?”

Trump has faced numerous allegations of sexual assault and harassment in the past, including accusations from multiple women that surfaced during his 2016 presidential campaign.

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating whether documents related to Epstein were improperly withheld from the public.

Ranking member of the committee, Democrat Robert Garcia, stated last week, “For the last few weeks, Oversight Democrats have been investigating how the FBI handled sexual assault allegations made by a survivor against President Donald Trump in 2019.”

In response to this statement, the Department of Justice posted on social media, stating that Oversight Democrats should “stop misleading the public by whipping up outrage from the radical anti-Trump base.” The statement added, “NOTHING was deleted.”

“If we temporarily removed files to redact victim identities or personal identifying information, those documents are immediately restored online and made public. ALL relevant documents have been produced, unless a document fell into one of the following categories: duplicates, classified, or part of an ongoing federal investigation.”

The documents emerged as the Trump administration continues to grapple with criticism regarding the processing of the files, roughly 3.5 million of which were released at the end of January.

In addition to accusations that it withheld certain records, the Department of Justice has faced criticism from lawmakers for allegedly exposing the identities of victims and redacting the names of certain men.

On Wednesday, a House committee voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify regarding the handling of the Epstein files.
