Justice Department releases missing Epstein files with uncorroborated Trump claims

The Justice Department has released more documents related to the agency’s investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that include uncorroborated claims about President Trump.The documents were released after the DOJ was pressured to review its disclosures following reports about missing files, The Hill news outlet reported.
The released files include FBI interviews with a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her, allegations that the White House has said are false. The DOJ said the files include “untrue and ​sensationalist claims made against President Trump.”
The disclosure of these files prompted additional reports that about 30 pages of documents expected in this batch remain unreleased.
The FBI interviewed the woman four times, but the summary of one of those interviews was posted online as part of the required disclosure of Epstein files.
The DOJ posted on X on Thursday that it “discovered 15 documents were incorrectly coded as duplicative.
“Additionally, the Southern District of Florida separately determined that 5 prosecution memos that were initially marked as privileged could be released while still protecting the privileged materials. All 20 of these documents are now live in the library in data set 12. We will also make available all files coded as duplicative in unredacted form for Members of Congress to review in the Congressional Reading Room.”
Most of the details in the latest batch of files include claims against Epstein. The disclosure also includes previously reported claims against Trump, with the woman saying that as a minor, he threw her out of the room after a violent encounter.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi, following bipartisan dissatisfaction with the disjointed release of Epstein files and questions regarding why some information was missing.
