DOJ releases missing Epstein files related to a woman who made an allegation against Trump

The Justice Department indicated that the documents were not previously released because they had been "incorrectly coded as duplicative."

The Justice Department on Thursday released previously unseen documents from the Epstein files that included new summaries and notes from interviews the FBI conducted with a woman from South Carolina who made allegations against the late sex offender and President Donald Trump, according to an NBC News analysis.

In a series of 2019 interviews with the FBI, the woman said she was a sexual assault victim of Jeffrey Epstein. She also alleged that she was assaulted by Trump in the 1980s when she was between the ages of 13 and 15.

The newly released interviews describe the allegations in detail. They include how the woman says her mother was blackmailed by Epstein and that for years after the alleged abusive from the disgraced financier she received physical and verbal threats that she believed were directed by Epstein. She also told the FBI that Epstein “drove her and/or flewher to either New York or New Jersey” where she went to a “very tall building with huge rooms” where she said Trump sexually assaulted her according to the FBI interview summaries.

The woman initially contacted federal law enforcement shortly after Epstein was arrested in 2019 with a lengthy description of how he assaulted her on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, when she was 13 years old in or around 1984, according to a summary of the FBI interview that was previously released by the Justice Department.

The FBI determined that the woman’s initial allegations against Epstein were significant enough that the FBI followed up with her for three additional interviews. However, the fourth conversation was abbreviated.
