JUST IN: The FBI found the woman who accused Trump of assaulting her with Epstein when she was 13-15 years old to be credible, per the Miami Herald. This was Trump’s FBI in 2019.
The FBI deemed credible a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her as a minor in the 1980s in connection with Jeffrey Epstein, according to a Department of Justice source speaking to the Miami Herald.
In recently released Epstein-related files, summaries of four FBI interviews conducted in 2019 detail the woman’s allegations. She claimed Epstein introduced her to Trump when she was between 13 and 15 years old, after which Trump allegedly forced her into a sexual act in a New York or New Jersey location, striking her after she resisted. The interviews occurred during the federal probe into Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking activities following Epstein’s 2019 arrest.
While the released documents contain no independent verification of the claims, and the White House has dismissed them as “baseless” with “zero credible evidence,” a DOJ source told the Miami Herald that FBI agents viewed the woman as credible. The source emphasized that investigators “would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.” The woman eventually stopped cooperating after the final session in October 2019, citing the expired statute of limitations and questioning the purpose of continuing.
The allegations echo a dismissed 2016 civil lawsuit filed under the pseudonym “Katie Johnson” (later “Jane Doe”), which accused Trump and Epstein of rape when she was 13. Trump has consistently denied all wrongdoing related to Epstein or any misconduct.
The files stem from broader releases of Epstein documents, prompted by public interest and transparency efforts. No charges have resulted from these specific claims.
