The U.S. Justice Department on Friday released previously missing FBI interview summaries from files related to the infamous Jeffrey Epstein case that include allegations made by a woman against former President Donald Trump.
The documents are part of a broad public disclosure effort of materials tied to the Epstein investigation that has been ongoing since late 2025 under pressure from lawmakers and the media. Officials said the additional records were erroneously excluded from earlier releases because they were misclassified as duplicates.
The newly available files include interview summaries from 2019 with a woman who alleged she was molested by Epstein as a teenager and also made claims involving Trump after Epstein introduced them in the 1980s, when she was between 13 and 15 years old.
The Justice Department acknowledged it had previously noted the existence of these interviews, but had only published one summary. The department also cautioned that some portions of the broader document archive contain “untrue and sensationalist claims.”
The White House dismissed the allegations as baseless and without supporting evidence, according to officials, reiterating Trump’s denials of any wrongdoing or improper conduct in connection with Epstein.
The release comes amid congressional scrutiny over how the Justice Department has handled the Epstein files, with some lawmakers accusing the department of withholding material that should have been made public. A top Democrat recently charged the department with improper withholding of FBI interviews involving Trump before the missing files were made available.
Additional reporting has also highlighted broader issues in the Epstein file disclosures, including tens of thousands of documents that were taken offline earlier in the process for review, underscoring ongoing challenges in managing the vast archive.
