Epstein files contain explicit but unsubstantiated claim that Trump abused minor
www.theguardian.com
Department of Justice did not release FBI memos when it uploaded millions of pages of files beginning in December

Note: These were collected by someone else and are what’s missing from the Epstein files. They were previously released.

In the files, you can see that there was a witness willing to testify, so I took out “unsubstantiated” in the headline:

Three memos that describe four interviews conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2019 contain explicit but unsubstantiated claims that Donald Trump sexually abused a woman when she was a minor in the early 1980s with the assistance of Jeffrey Epstein, according to a Guardian review of those documents.

The Department of Justice did not release those records when it uploaded millions of pages of files related to Epstein beginning in December. The existence of the missing documents was first reported by independent journalist Roger Sollenberger and subsequently confirmed by NPR, causing outrage in Washington and sparking an investigation from congressional Democrats.

The Guardian obtained the missing FBI form 302 reports, which memorialize 25 pages of agents’ notes from the four interviews conducted in the summer and fall of 2019. The notes describe how the woman came forward to tell agents she recognized Epstein from a photo sent by a childhood friend. Only the first session, in which she did not name Trump, made it into the public release. The Guardian has chosen not to publish the woman’s name.

    the woman told agents she had been sexually abused by Epstein from the age of 13, beginning approximately in 1983, while she was living in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

    Better known as raping a girl.

    Tired of these weasel words.

    Yeah this has always been the most telling thing about trump that so many ARE NOT jumping on. He will sue anyone for the slightest thing. Where are the slander lawsuits? Why is he quiet? The silence speaks novels.

    This is correct, and right, and why billionaire media exists only to serve themselves.

    I know when they say “a woman when she was a minor” means a current adult who was a minor at the time. But why does that even need to be said? Why not just say “… Trump sexually abused a child in this year.”?

    The only 2 options are that she’s now an adult, or deceased, which should get its own sentence or paragraph anyway.

    “Claim”

    Yeah no shit, people have claimed that for years. Provide proof, and then put the son of a bitch away. I’m so sick of more headlines about nothing fucking happening.

      Yeah where’s all the victims that pulled out their phone while they were getting raped??!!! 20 years ago when smartphones were only an idea they could have just used theirs!!! /s

      As far as I know a few victims have described genitals, as well as providing accurate descriptions of relatively unknown locations and associates. There is also a shit ton amount of proof that these victims were around Epstein and Trump during this time (pictures and communications). There probably is a lot more, but I’m merely making a point that proof in sexual abuse is very hard to find, and in most cases only possible right after the fact.

      Thousands of scientists from hundreds (if not thousands, I actually don’t know how many cultures there are) of cultures all around the globe agree in all their different languages that climate change is real.

      People like my coworker — ‘Oil doesn’t cause climate change or environmental damage — those scientists just want to get paid.’

      Do you understand what I’m trying to say? I can replace the words in the analogy to match the context of the conservation if you want.
