Epstein files contain explicit but unsubstantiated claim that Trump abused minor

AI Summary

long article 5 min

Newly surfaced FBI files from 2019 contain unsubstantiated allegations that Donald Trump sexually abused a minor in the early 1980s with Jeffrey Epstein's assistance. The documents, obtained by The Guardian, detail interviews with a woman who came forward with the claims. These reports were not initially released by the Department of Justice in its public release of Epstein-related files, sparking controversy and a congressional inquiry. While the woman's allegations have not been verified and contradict some known facts, they were summarized in an internal FBI slideshow. An administration official confirmed the authenticity of the missing reports, while the DOJ maintains that any withheld material was either duplicative or privileged. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein.
