The US Justice Department has released additional FBI documents describing interviews with a woman who alleged that President Donald Trump sexually assaulted her after she was introduced to him by Jeffrey Epstein, it was confirmed yesterday .

The documents had not been made public under previous congressionally mandated file releases related to the late convicted sex offender because they were mistakenly marked “duplicative”, the department said . They include summaries and notes from three separate interviews the FBI conducted with the woman in 2019, who alleged she was assaulted by both Epstein and Trump while she was between 13 and 15 years old .

In one interview, the woman said Epstein took her to “either New York or New Jersey” and introduced her to Trump. She told investigators that she bit Trump as he attempted to force her to perform oral sex on him . According to the newly published documents, the woman described how Trump allegedly put her head “down to his penis” and she “bit the s*** out of it” . She alleged that Trump then struck her and said something to the effect of “get this little b**** the hell out of here” .

The woman also told investigators that she and people close to her received threatening calls over the years demanding she keep quiet, which she believed were related to Epstein . In her third interview with the FBI, she described receiving threatening phone calls and multiple incidents where she was “almost run off of the road” by cars .

Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, and the White House has dismissed the allegations as “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence” . White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement: “Joe Biden’s department of justice knew about them for four years and did nothing with them — because they knew President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong” .

The Justice Department previously warned that some of the documents it has released “contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump” that were submitted to the FBI shortly before the 2020 election . The department reiterated that “the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already” .

Democrats have accused the Trump administration of covering up details of the Epstein investigation that could negatively impact the president . Representative Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said he reviewed unredacted evidence logs and concluded that “the DOJ appears to have illegally withheld FBI interviews with this survivor” . Democrats have announced they will open a parallel investigation and demand the missing records be provided to Congress .

On Wednesday, a House committee voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to answer questions about the Justice Department’s handling of the documents . Five Republicans joined Democrats in the vote, signalling mounting frustration among members of the president’s own party .

The woman first contacted authorities in July 2019, shortly after Epstein’s arrest on federal sex trafficking charges . She told agents that a man named “Jeff” living in Hilton Head, South Carolina, had raped her there in the 1980s when she was around 13 years old, and that decades later she concluded he was Jeffrey Epstein when a friend texted her his photo . FBI agents conducted four interviews with her, but only one summary focused largely on her allegations against Epstein was initially included in the public database .

In her final interview with the FBI in 2019, when asked whether she “felt comfortable detailing her contacts with Trump,” the woman reportedly asked “what the point would be of providing the information at this point in her life when there was a strong possibility nothing could be done about it” . Agents told her to take time to think, but she later broke off contact .

There is no indication that the FBI verified the woman’s claims. An email sent between FBI agents last summer and included in the files notes that “one identified victim claimed abuse by Trump but ultimately refused to cooperate,” although it does not specify if it is the same person . The woman was deemed ineligible for the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program, which paid settlements to more than 130 victims, for reasons that remain unclear . She voluntarily dismissed a related lawsuit in December 2021, though her lawyer told The Post and Courier newspaper in January that she received a financial settlement from Epstein’s estate .

The new disclosures come as the Trump administration faces continued political headaches over the rollout of the Epstein files, which began in December . A Wall Street Journal analysis recently identified 47,635 files that appeared to be missing, though the department said they had been taken “offline for further review” and would be republished . Department officials have defended their handling of the files, saying they took pains to release them as quickly as possible under the Epstein Files Transparency Act while also protecting victims, and that errors were inevitable given the volume of materials .

The Department of Justice is authorised by law to withhold records that expose potential abuse victims, are duplicates, protected by legal privileges, or relate to an ongoing criminal investigation . A DOJ official confirmed this week that the department is not currently investigating any individual in connection with the case, and without any new information, they do not expect anyone to be charged .

Trump and Epstein moved in the same circles in Florida and New York for many years, and were pictured together on several occasions in the 1990s and early 2000s, including at the real estate mogul’s club in Palm Beach . In a 2002 interview with New York Magazine, Trump was quoted saying of Epstein: “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side” . After Epstein’s death in 2019, Trump said he “knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him” but added: “I had a falling out with him. I haven’t spoken to him in 15 years” .
