The vast trove of documents released by the #DOJ from its investigations into the #convicted #SexOffender #JeffreyEpstein failed to include some key materials related to a woman who made an accusation against #Trump, acc/to a review by NYT.

The materials are #FBI memos summarizing interviews the bureau did in connection to claims made in 2019 by a woman who came forward after Epstein’s arrest to say she had been sexually assaulted by both Trump & #Epstein decades earlier, when she was a #minor.

The existence of the memos was revealed in an index listing the investigative materials related to her account, which was publicly released. Acc/to that index, the #FBI conducted 4 interviews in connection with her claims & wrote summaries about each one. But only 1 summary of the 4 interviews, which describes her accusations against #Epstein, was released by the #DOJ. The other 3 are missing.

The public files also do NOT include the underlying #interview notes, which the index also indicates are part of the file. The #DOJ released similar interview notes in connection to #FBI interviews with other potential witnesses & survivors.

It is unclear why the materials are missing. 🤨

Under the #law, the #DOJ can redact material that could be used to identify Epstein’s victims, depicted violence or child sexual abuse, or would hurt a continuing federal investigation. But the law expressly prohibited federal officials from withholding or redacting materials “on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm or political sensitivity” to public figures.

Some lawmakers and survivors of Mr. Epstein’s abuse have strongly condemned the #DOJ for how it handled redactions, noting that details identifying some survivors were left exposed & nude photographs of young women were included in the public release, while material related to claims of abuse by other men had been heavily redacted.

The woman who made the accusation about #Trump came forward in July 2019, days after federal investigators arrested #Epstein on #SexTrafficking charges, acc/to records in the public files of tips the #FBI received during that period. She claimed that she had been repeatedly assaulted by Epstein when she was a #minor in the 1980s, acc/to a summary of an FBI interview with her on July 24, 2019.

The #FBI did 3 subsequent interviews to assess her account in August & October 2019 & made a summary of each interview, according to the index of records compiled in the case. But the memos describing those 3 interviews were not publicly released.

The public files do contain a 2025 description of her account, as well as other accusations against other prominent men contained in the documents.

In that 2025 memo, federal officials wrote that the woman had said that #Epstein introduced her to #Trump, & that she claimed‼️Trump had assaulted her in a #violent & lurid encounter. The documents say the alleged incident would have occurred in the mid-1980s when she was 13 to 15 years old, but they do not include any assessment by the FBI about the credibility of her accusation.

An examination of serial numbers on the individual pages in the public files suggests that >50 pages of materials related to her claims are NOT in the publicly available files.…

Rep #RobertGarcia of California, the top #Democrat on the #House #Oversight Cmte, said that when he reviewed unredacted versions of the #EpsteinFiles at the #DOJ on Monday, interview summaries related to the woman’s claim were ALSO MISSING from that trove.

“Documents that are listed, which should be included, which are referenced in other documents, are not in the files,” Rep #RobertGarcia said. He added that the #DOJ had also NOT provided them to the #Oversight Cmte, which issued a #subpoena last year for all of the DOJ’s investigative material regarding #Epstein.

Rep #RobertGarcia said the #DOJ had not provided a proper explanation for why the materials were missing. #Democrats plan to open a separate investigation into why the documents are not available.

In the sole summary of the #FBI interview that was released, the woman told investigators that she did not know Epstein’s full identity until 2019, when a friend sent her a photograph of #Epstein. She said she then recognized the person who she said had raped her.

[Because #DOJ withheld the materials,] It is unclear exactly what #FBI agents learned about her claims related to #Trump in their 3 subsequent interviews.

The woman spent most of the interview on July 24, 2019, describing in detail what she said were repeated #violent assaults by #Epstein that she had endured.

She said that as a teenager in South Carolina, she was asked to babysit at a house on Hilton Head Island. But after she arrived, there were no children to babysit, & only a man she came to know as Jeff who she said plied her with alcohol, marijuana & cocaine. She described him raping her on multiple occasions.

The woman joined a lawsuit later in 2019 against Epstein’s estate. She subsequently dropped her claim. Court records do not indicate if she received any financial settlement. A court record from 2021 said she was separately deemed ineligible for compensation from a fund set up for #Epstein victims, but it did not specify why.

[I’m guessing she was threatened &/or bribed into dropping out.]
