US declassifies documents of a woman who accuses Trump of assaulting her when she was a minor

BarcelonaThe US Department of Justice has declassified new documents the Epstein plotIn this case, there are four FBI files documenting a woman's accusation against President Donald Trump. According to the documents made public this morning, Trump sexually assaulted her in the 1980s when she was between 13 and 15 years old. In 2019, the woman explained to federal agents that Jeffrey Epstein took her "off the island" of Little Saint James and to "New York or New Jersey," where she was introduced to someone "with a lot of money" who "was Donald Trump." There, where there were other people the woman couldn't identify, the current US president allegedly sexually assaulted her.

"Let me show you how little girls should behave," the victim recounts Trump saying before taking her to a room. There, according to her testimony, he began sexually assaulting her, but when she, then a teenager, resisted, Trump hit her and had her taken away.

The justification for the delay

These documents were released a month after the more than three million files related to the Epstein case were made public. The Justice Department issued a statement on social media explaining why some documents were not released with the rest of the information at the time. It claims the new files are part of a group "incorrectly coded as duplicates."

After several complaints and an analysis of the material, department officials discovered that 15 documents had not been published because they had been incorrectly indexed. Furthermore, the Southern District of Florida determined that five memos from the Attorney's Office were marked as privileged and could, in fact, be published without the need to redact certain information.

The Justice Department also explained that it will make the documents available to members of Congress in their entirety: the new typed files transcribing the interviews with the whistleblower are redacted, and information is being withheld from the public and journalists who consult them. In February, several US media outlets reported that documents were missing and that some were part of a complaint against Trump by a woman that appeared to be incomplete. This created unease among victims and the public, since the Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed by Congress in November 2015, required the government to release all investigative files related to the case.

In a two-page document from August 2019, investigators explain that a woman currently residing in Portland was forced to perform oral sex on President Trump approximately 35 years ago. This second document further specifies the woman's age at the time of the alleged assault: she was between 13 and 14 years old. In a third document, also from August, the woman recounts how she periodically received threats from an unidentified person to keep quiet. According to the document, the victim received numerous brief text messages that included phrases such as, "We know where you are, you need to keep your mouth shut." In another document from October 2019, the FBI's conversation with the woman is detailed. It provides no new information, and the agents ask her why she is making the complaint "at this point in her life" when there is a strong possibility that nothing can be done about it. However, the new document does not include the response from the alleged victim that Trump mentioned. In January 2026, when the more than three million files were made public, the Justice Department explained that "some documents" contained "false and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were filed with the FBI just before the 2020 election."
