The United States Justice Department on Thursday released additional Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) documents detailing interviews with a woman who alleged that President Donald Trump sexually assaulted her after she was introduced to him by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The Department said the records had not been included in earlier, congressionally mandated disclosures related to Epstein because they had been mistakenly labelled as “duplicative.”
The newly released files summarise several interviews conducted by the FBI in 2019 with the woman, who claimed she was assaulted by both Epstein and Trump when she was between the ages of 13 and 15.
According to the documents, the woman told investigators that Epstein once took her to either New York or New Jersey and introduced her to Trump. She alleged that during the encounter, Trump tried to force her to perform oral sex and that she bit him while resisting.
She also told investigators that she and people close to her had received threatening phone calls over the years warning her to remain silent, which she believed were connected to Epstein.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing in relation to the allegations. The Justice Department previously said that some materials released in the Epstein document disclosures include claims against the president that it described as “untrue and sensationalist.”
Democrats have launched inquiries into how the Trump administration handled the Epstein files, accusing officials of potentially withholding information that could be politically damaging.
On Wednesday, a US House committee voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the Justice Department’s management and release of the documents.
