The United States Department of Justice on Thursday released three previously undisclosed FBI interview summaries from 2019 involving a woman who made unverified allegations that she was abused by Donald Trump in the 1980s when she was a minor.
In a statement posted on social media, the Justice Department said the interview summaries — known as FBI “302” reports — were initially withheld when millions of pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein were released earlier this year. Officials said the reports had been mistakenly labeled as duplicates of other documents.
“What we found through extensive review is that a published 302 — additionally disclosed in a published spreadsheet — had subsequent 302s that were coded as ‘duplicative,’” the department said. “After this was brought to our attention, we reviewed the entire batch with the similar coding and discovered 15 documents were incorrectly coded as duplicative.”
The statement did not clarify why the records were misclassified beyond suggesting the possibility of human error. As of Thursday evening, the Justice Department’s public database still does not include the handwritten notes taken by agents during the interviews.
According to the reports, FBI investigators interviewed the woman — whose identity was redacted — four times between July and October 2019. In each interview she described alleged abuse by Epstein.
During her second interview, the woman told agents that Epstein once took her to either New York or New Jersey when she was between 13 and 15 years old and introduced her to Trump. According to the report, she alleged that Trump abused her during that trip.
However, in a fourth interview conducted in October 2019, the woman declined to provide additional details about the alleged encounter when questioned by investigators.
Her statements indicated the alleged interaction occurred in the early to mid-1980s — a period when available records do not appear to show contact between Epstein and Trump.
