Epstein files: DOJ may have withheld FBI interviews with Trump accuser, Rep. Garcia says
CNBC
The Department of Justice "appears to have illegally withheld FBI interviews" with a survivor of sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, who had also accused President Donald Trump "of heinous crimes," Rep. Robert Garcia said on Tuesday.
Garcia's statement comes on the heels of reports that FBI interviews with that accuser were not viewable on the DOJ's database of millions of files related to Epstein that were made public after a federal law was passed by Congress mandating their disclosure.
"For the last few weeks, Oversight Democrats have been investigating the FBI's handling of allegations from 2019 of sexual assault on a minor made against President Donald Trump by a survivor," Garcia, D-Calif., said in a statement.
