FBI documents released Thursday March 5 by the US Department of Justice reveal – uncorroborated – allegations of sexual assault against Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
In 2019, during Donald Trump's first term, the FBI interviewed four times an unnamed woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by the real estate mogul in the 1980s when she was a minor.

In each of these interviews, this woman made allegations of abuse against Jeffrey Epstein. She also claimed during the second interview that the child molester financier took her to New York or New Jersey, where he introduced her to Donald Trump, when she was between 13 and 15 years old. According to the report, she said Donald Trump abused her during the trip.
During the last interrogation, in October 2019, the woman refused to provide additional details about the alleged interaction with Donald Trump, according to the public summary of this interview. According to these documents, the events occurred in the early to mid-1980s, a period during which Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump did not appear to be in contact.
The Justice Department said in a statement that the summaries of these interviews with the FBI were initially removed from the January release of millions of pages of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein. They were considered duplicative of other documents.
