The US Justice Department released FBI records on Thursday that summarise interviews of an unidentified woman in which she made accusations against US President Donald Trump related to an alleged sexual encounter.
FBI agents interviewed the woman four times in 2019 as part of their investigation into accused sex trafficker
Jeffrey Epstein.
The
Justice Department had previously released a log confirming that the interviews took place, but released a summary of only one of those four meetings, in which she accused Epstein of molesting her when she was a teenager.
The newly disclosed records, which were posted on the department’s website on Thursday, show she also claimed Trump attempted to force her to engage in sexual acts after Epstein introduced her to the future president in New York or New Jersey in the 1980s when she was between 13 and 15 years old.
The White House did not immediately respond to questions about the disclosures.
Politico, which first reported the disclosures, said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the woman’s claims “completely baseless accusations, backed by zero credible evidence.”
The Justice Department has cautioned that some of the documents include “untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump.”
Reuters could not independently confirm the accuracy of the woman’s allegations, and FBI records suggest agents stopped speaking with her in 2019.
The Justice Department said in a post on the social media platform X that the records it released on Thursday were among 15 documents that it had “incorrectly coded as duplicative” and not published as a result.
The disclosure comes as the Justice Department faces scrutiny in Congress over its handling of documents from the Epstein investigation, which it is required to make public.
