Epstein Files Omit FBI Memos About Trump Accuser, Prompting Transparency Questions
TL;DR Summary
DOJ-era Epstein files publicly released by the FBI/DOJ omit three FBI interview summaries and the underlying notes related to a woman who accused Donald Trump of sexual assault decades ago; only one of four summaries was released, and more than 50 pages appear missing, raising questions about transparency and redactions. The DOJ cites privilege, duplicates, or ongoing investigations for withholding; lawmakers, including Rep. Robert Garcia, say unredacted materials are being withheld and plan additional oversight. A 2025 memo mentions the Trump allegation but offers no credibility assessment.
