Details of the historical allegations

Newly released documents from the investigations into Jeffrey Epstein include an FBI summary of a 2019 interview with an unnamed woman who alleges she was assaulted by Donald Trump while she was a minor. The woman claimed the encounter occurred in New York or New Jersey after she was introduced to the future president by Epstein when she was between the ages of 13 and 15. According to the report, the woman alleged that the incident turned violent after she resisted, claiming that she was struck and verbally abused during the encounter.

Official White House response and denial

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt issued a firm rebuttal to the report, labeling the claims as completely baseless and lacking any credible evidence. The administration pointed to the accuser's alleged criminal history and argued that the Department of Justice had been aware of these statements for four years without taking action, which the White House cites as proof that the allegations were found to be without merit. Leavitt further stated that the President has been totally exonerated by the broader release of the Epstein files.

Context of the FBI summary

The document, categorized as an FBI 302 summary, details the woman’s account of the meeting, where she noted that other individuals were present initially but left at the request of the host. The report indicates the woman identified herself as a tomboy, a detail she claimed influenced the nature of the interaction. Despite the graphic nature of the claims, the President has consistently maintained that he cut off contact with Epstein in the mid 2000s and has strongly denied any involvement in the late financier’s illegal activities.
