Epstein files contain explicit but unsubstantiated claim that Trump abused minor

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.

      I don’t disagree with the sentiment.

      However, these kinds of comments feel like pointless karma farming. Every post on the topic will have a bunch of ‘well actually they meant _______’, it’s tedious and doesn’t add anything other than a place for people to park their upvotes so that they feel better.
