The US Justice Department published additional FBI documents on Thursday describing interviews with a woman who said President Donald Trump sexually assaulted her after she was introduced to him by Jeffrey Epstein, reports Prothom Alo.
The documents had not been made public under previous congressionally-mandated file releases related to the late convicted sex offender because they were mistakenly marked “duplicative,” the department said.
Democrats are investigating the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files.
The documents released Thursday include descriptions of multiple 2019 interviews the FBI held with the woman, who alleged she was assaulted by both Epstein and Trump while she was between 13 and 15 years old.
In one interview, the woman said Epstein took her to “either New York or New Jersey” and introduced her to Trump. She told investigators that she bit Trump as he attempted to force her to perform oral sex on him.
The woman said she and people close to her received threatening calls over the years demanding she keep quiet that she believed were related to Epstein.
The Justice Department previously stated that some of the materials it has made public “contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump,” and Trump has denied any misconduct in connection with the Epstein allegations.
Democrats have charged that the Trump administration is hiding information on the Epstein investigation that could harm Trump.
A House committee decided on Wednesday to summon Attorney General Pam Bondi to respond to inquiries regarding the papers’ handling by the Justice Department.
