The Justice Department has released FBI interviews containing sexual and physical assault allegations against former President Donald Trump, part of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. These documents, released Thursday, include graphic details from a woman who claimed she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and subjected to abuse by several men, including Trump, in the 1980s.

Background of the Epstein Investigation

The FBI conducted follow-up interviews with the woman in 2019 as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s alleged sex trafficking operations. The initial interview, dated July 24, 2019, was part of the Epstein files released by the DOJ in January and included her claims of being raped by Epstein in the 1980s when she was around 13 years old.

The report described how her mother, a real estate agent, placed an for babysitting services in a packet given to tenants. Epstein responded, and the woman was sent to him. According to the report, Epstein gave her drugs and raped her over several years. The woman also mentioned having a photograph of Trump on her phone, which agents noted was a widely distributed image of Trump and Epstein.

The woman became emotional and ended the first interview when pressed further by the agents. Subsequent interviews were not included in the initial release, prompting public outcry. The DOJ stated that the missing files were incorrectly marked as “duplicative.”

Details of the Allegations Against Trump

In her second interview, the woman claimed Epstein either flew or drove her from South Carolina to New York or New Jersey when she was between 13 and 15 years old. She was introduced to “someone with money,” whom she identified as Donald Trump. The FBI report described the encounter as taking place in a “very tall building with huge rooms.”

The woman said Trump immediately disliked her because she was a “boy-girl” or tomboy. She claimed she was left alone in the room with Trump, who said, “Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be,” according to the FBI report. She said Trump unzipped his pants and forced her head to his penis. She bit him, and Trump struck her, according to the report.

In her third interview, she clarified that Trump “pulled her hair and punched her on the side of the head.” She also said Epstein blackmailed her mother by threatening to release explicit photographs of her daughter. Her mother later went to prison for embezzling money in an attempt to purchase the photos from Epstein.

The woman mentioned being trafficked to several men by Epstein, including a man she identified as “Jim Atkins,” who she believed worked for an Ohio university. The Miami Herald could not locate him on deadline.

During her third interview, she detailed receiving numerous death threats and being run off the road twice. She said she felt threatened by Epstein and Trump, with callers telling her, “we know where you’re at, you need to keep your mouth shut.”

Response from the White House and Trump

The White House has dismissed the woman’s allegations as “baseless.” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in an emailed statement to the Herald that the woman’s accusations had “no validity” and were backed by “zero credible evidence from a sadly disturbed woman who has an extensive criminal history.”

However, the Herald found no “extensive” criminal history for the woman. Public records show she was arrested for theft in the past, but the charges were dismissed. The woman also joined a civil lawsuit against the Epstein estate in 2019, which was settled, but Trump was not mentioned in the suit.

Trump has denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. Many of the materials released by the Justice Department lack substantiation and context, according to the Herald. The allegations were included in a July 2025 FBI PowerPoint presentation listing uncorroborated claims against several men, including Trump.

The woman’s final interview, conducted in October 2019, included her statement that she felt “what’s the point?” due to the passage of time since the alleged assaults. She believed nothing could be done now.
