The US Justice Department on Thursday published additional FBI records connected to its investigation of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Among the newly released materials are previously withheld interview summaries with a woman who alleged that President Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in the 1980s after she was introduced to him by Jeffrey Epstein.
Officials said the interview summaries had not appeared in earlier congressionally mandated disclosures related to the late financier because they were mistakenly classified as “duplicative.” According to the department, the records were only recently identified as separate documents during a subsequent internal review.
In the newly revealed files, the woman — who told investigators she was between 13 and 15 years old during the alleged incidents — said Epstein brought her to a location in either New York or New Jersey where she was introduced to Trump. She claimed that Trump attempted to force her to perform oral sex and that she resisted by biting him.
The woman further alleged that Epstein sexually assaulted her on other occasions and said she received threatening phone calls over the years from individuals she believed were connected to Epstein.
She was threatened to remain silent.
The release of the documents has also prompted renewed scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers, who have begun reviewing how the Trump administration handled Epstein-related files.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing related to the allegations involving Epstein. The Justice Department has previously said that some of the documents made public “contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump,” particularly materials that surfaced around the 2020 US elections.
On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the department’s management and release of the records. The bipartisan measure passed by a 24–19 vote and signaled increasing concern among lawmakers about transparency surrounding the Epstein investigation.
The latest batch of records is part of a wider public disclosure involving millions of pages connected to investigations linked to Epstein.
