DOJ Releases Epstein Interview Summaries Containing Unverified Allegations Involving President Trump

The U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday released three previously undisclosed interview summaries connected to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, documents that include unverified allegations referencing current President of the United States Donald J. Trump.

According to a report from The Washington Times, the interview summaries involve statements from a woman who claimed she was assaulted by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and also made accusations involving Trump when she was underage.

In the summaries, the woman alleged that during an encounter she bit Trump after he allegedly attempted to force her to perform oral sex. She further claimed that Trump struck her following the incident.

The Justice Department explained that the documents were not included in the initial January release of Epstein-related materials because they had been incorrectly categorized.

“After this was brought to our attention, we reviewed the entire batch with the similar coding and discovered 15 documents were incorrectly coded as duplicative,” the department said.

The release comes as congressional Democrats continue examining whether the Justice Department improperly withheld documents tied to the Epstein case. Some lawmakers have specifically focused on four FBI interview reports, known as 302s, involving a woman who accused Trump of sexual assault.

President Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing connected to Epstein and has never been charged with a crime related to the allegations. In fact, documents within the same file collection indicate that Trump alerted authorities to Epstein’s suspicious conduct in the mid-2000s after growing concerned about the financier’s behavior.

The interviews themselves were conducted in 2019 after Epstein was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges.

The woman referenced in the records, whose identity is redacted, told investigators that she was between 13 and 15 years old when Epstein allegedly introduced her to Trump.

She said the meeting occurred in what she described as a very tall building with large rooms located either in New York or New Jersey.

The woman further alleged that she later received threats she believed were issued by Epstein or possibly by another individual she referred to as “the other one,” whom investigators interpreted to mean Trump. Epstein died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial.

The White House firmly rejected the accusations following the release of the documents.

“These are completely baseless accusations, backed by zero credible evidence, from a sadly disturbed woman who has an extensive criminal history,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

The release of the documents also comes amid partisan tensions in Washington. Prior to the disclosure, Democrats in Congress accused the Justice Department of failing to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

The law requires the federal government to release investigative records related to Epstein while protecting the identities of victims and witnesses.

When the first wave of Epstein-related materials was released in January, federal officials cautioned that the files contained raw submissions sent to investigators and had not all been verified.

“This production may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents or videos, as everything that was sent to the FBI by the public was included in the production that is responsive to the Act,” the Justice Department said.

Officials also emphasized that some of the claims targeting President Trump had surfaced during politically sensitive periods.

“Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election,” the department said.

“To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”

Frustration over the pace of Epstein-related disclosures has extended across party lines on Capitol Hill. On Thursday, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi as lawmakers seek additional records tied to the investigation.

Meanwhile, fallout from the renewed scrutiny surrounding Epstein continues to reach high-profile figures connected to the disgraced financier.

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers recently announced he will step down from his teaching positions at Harvard University. Harvard confirmed last month that Summers plans to resign from his faculty posts at the end of the academic year and relinquish his University Professorship, the university’s highest academic title.

According to the Harvard Crimson, Summers described the decision as “difficult,” though he did not provide a specific public explanation.

His departure comes as newly released Justice Department documents, disclosed by House lawmakers, have once again drawn attention to Epstein’s network of wealthy and influential associates.
