Epstein Files Reveal Bombshell FBI Tip About Trump
The document was part of a new trove of emails released by the Justice Department.
The rape accusation against President Donald Trump is among a new batch of damning documents released by his own Justice Department concerning the crimes of notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
These unsubstantiated allegations appear in what appears to be an FBI investigative file dated October 27, 2020, just days before the presidential election in which he faced Joe Biden.
Trump has never been charged in connection with Epstein, and this week he expressed outrage at the possibility that people who had “innocent” encounters with the controversial billionaire years ago could be smeared.
“I think it’s terrible,” the president told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
The newly released documents do not reveal who made the allegations or the extent to which they were investigated.
But the document, titled “FBI Official Report,” refers to a limousine driver, whose name is redacted, who reported a “very disturbing” phone conversation with Trump while driving him to the airport in 1995.
The report states: “[Redacted name] noted that Trump repeatedly mentioned the name ‘Jeffrey’ during the call and spoke of ‘assaulting a young girl.’ [Redacted name] did not know the identity of the person he was speaking to or the young girl in question.”
The document then mentions an unidentified woman who allegedly met Trump after being taken by “a young girl with a strange name” to “a luxury hotel or building.”
The statement submitted to the FBI reads: “She was raped by Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.” The woman was reportedly advised to file a complaint but allegedly responded, “I can’t. They’ll kill me.”
The Justice Department released the documents Tuesday morning, along with a warning that some of the information they contain includes “false and sensational allegations against President Trump, transmitted to the FBI just before the 2020 election.”
“Let’s be clear: these allegations are baseless and false,” the department said in a statement accompanying the release of the new batch of 30,000 documents. “If they were credible, they would have already been used against President Trump.”
The White House declined to comment on the allegations contained in the documents, but Trump has repeatedly called the Epstein affair a hoax. On Monday, Trump expressed sympathy for former President Bill Clinton, whose name features prominently in several of the photos released so far by the Justice Department.
“Everybody was nice to this guy,” he told reporters on Monday, referring to Epstein.
He added, “Whether they were friends or not, he was around. He was hanging out in Palm Beach and other places. The president of Harvard, Larry Summers, was a close friend of his, as was Bill Clinton. But he was everywhere.”
This shift in tone comes as Trump last month ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the ties between Clinton and Epstein, as well as those of Summers and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. All three have denied any knowledge of the sex offender’s crimes.
Trump has faced multiple accusations from women over the decades, but only one has been substantiated: a civil lawsuit filed by New York writer E. Jean Carroll.
Carroll won her case against the then-Republican candidate for sexual assault in a department store in the 1990s and for defamation following his statements about the incident – allegations that Trump categorically denies.
The release of the Epstein files is the culmination of years of efforts by victims and their supporters to obtain justice for Epstein and his network, as well as of conspiracy theories propagated by the MAGA movement.
These demands reached a fever pitch when Trump and his team came to power and promised to release the files. However, he reneged on his promise and called the case a “Democratic hoax.”
Democrats are now accusing the Department of Justice of violating the law on transparency regarding the Epstein files, which Trump reluctantly signed after some Republicans broke ranks with their party to support the full disclosure of the documents.
However, the Justice Department failed to comply with its legal obligations by not releasing all the documents before last Friday’s deadline, and many of them contained entire pages of redacted information.
“The new documents that Congress forced the Justice Department to release leave no doubt: we are witnessing a cover-up attempt by the White House,” said Representative Robert Garcia, a ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, on Tuesday.
“We demand answers from the president regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and why his Justice Department continues to defy the law and conceal documents,” he added.
