Woman accuses Trump of assault when she was minor in latest Epstein files

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has released missing Epstein files of FBI interviews with a woman who made claims against US President Donald Trump.

In the files, the woman, aged 13-15 at the time of alleged abuse, describes her interaction with Trump in 1980, where the future president allegedly forced the minor to perform oral sex.

As per Reuters, the White House has not responded to the release yet.

DOJ has announced that it will release nearly 50,000 additional pages of Epstein files by the end of this week.​

Reportedly, these additional files will disclose the documents of unverified allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct against disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019, while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, and about President Trump, who allegedly was a friend of offender in the 1990s and early 2000s.

The report also suggests that the upcoming files will also disclose the three interviews of a woman given to the FBI in 2019, where she claimed to have been abused by Epstein as a minor during the mid-1980s, but was found to be ineligible for compensation that was paid out to more than 130 other victims.

Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by Trump in November, the DOJ is obligated to release all its files related to the Epstein case, with redactions only made to protect victims or ongoing investigations.

Following this law, the DOJ released over 3 million Epstein files till now, in which more than 2,000 videos and 1,80,000 images were included.
