The Department of Justice released FBI interviews with a woman who said she was introduced to Donald Trump by Jeffrey Epstein and that Trump sexually and physically abused her when she was a minor, accusations the White House called “completely baseless.”
The release came after multiple news reports about documents related to the accusations against Trump being withheld. The Department of Justice said it had withheld records that had been “incorrectly coded as duplicative.”
The woman, whose name has been redacted, said in a 2019 interview with the FBI that she traveled to New York or New Jersey with Epstein when she was between 13 and 15 years old and met Trump “in a very tall building with huge rooms,” according to a summary of one of the interviews. She stated multiple people were present and that Trump asked everyone to leave the room and then sexually assaulted her.
“These are completely baseless accusations, backed by zero credible evidence,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on March 6.
Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in his associations with Epstein. He has not faced any charges related to the investigation.
