The U.S. Department of Justice has released additional FBI documents describing President Donald Trump’s interviews with women who say they were introduced to them by the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein when they were teenagers.
The documents had not been released in previous Congressional-mandated releases related to disgraced financier Epstein because they were incorrectly marked as “duplicate,” the department announced Thursday.

Democrats are investigating the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein file.
The documents released Thursday include multiple FBI interviews with the woman in 2019, in which she claims she was assaulted by Mr. Epstein and Mr. Trump when she was between 13 and 15 years old.
In one interview, the woman said Mr. Epstein took her to “either New York or New Jersey” and introduced her to Mr. Trump. She told investigators that Trump bit her when he tried to force her to perform oral sex on him.
The woman said she and people close to her had received threatening phone calls over the years telling them to keep quiet and believed they were related to Epstein.

Agents reportedly stopped talking to her in 2019, according to FBI records. In a report from the woman’s final interview, conducted in October 2019 while Trump was president, investigators asked the woman if she would be willing to provide further information about Trump.
In response, the agent wrote, “I asked what was the point in providing information at this point in my life when nothing could likely be done.”
US publication Politico, which first reported the revelations, said White House press secretary Caroline Levitt called the woman’s claims “completely baseless accusations without any credible evidence.”
President Trump has denied any wrongdoing in connection with the Epstein charges, and the Justice Department previously said some of the documents released “contain false and sensational allegations against President Trump.”
Before the United States and Israel began their war against Iran five days ago, the fallout from the release of files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by the U.S. Department of Justice was reverberating around the world.
But all these revelations changed rapidly when bombs started raining on Iran.
Republican U.S. Representative Thomas Massey, who pushed for Congress to pass the Epstein File Transparency Act last year, said Sunday that “the Epstein file will not disappear even if you bomb a country halfway around the world.” He was also critical of the war.
Shayer Ben Ephraim, an analyst at Atlas Global Strategies and a former Israeli diplomat, told Al Jazeera that Trump “really needs a distraction (from domestic issues) in the form of war.”
“And if you look at searches for the Epstein files on Google, the number of searches has plummeted since this thing started. So it’s been successful, at least temporarily. It’s taking up Congress’s time, it’s taking up media time,” he added.
