Missing Epstein files include interviews with alleged Trump accuser
A woman who came forward in July 2019 to accuse Jeffrey Epstein of assaulting and raping her several times in the 1980s, beginning when she was just 13, is also a Trump accuser featured in the Epstein files.

The Justice Department has withheld notes and memos reflecting FBI interviews from its release of the Epstein files, including interviews with a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually abusing her when she was a minor, MS NOW has confirmed.
NPR reported on Tuesday that more than 50 pages of notes and memos reflecting FBI interviews with the woman are not found in the Justice Department’s publicly released database of documents related to convicted and deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
According to a source who has viewed the unredacted documents, a woman interviewed by the FBI in July 2019 about her Epstein allegations is the same woman who alleged that Trump forced her to perform oral sex on him 35 years ago, when she was 13 or 14 years old, and subsequently hit her. That allegation appears in a 2025 PowerPoint presentation detailing each of the FBI’s Epstein-related investigations and a spreadsheet of unconfirmed tips called into the bureau’s National Threat Operations Center reviewed by MS NOW. MS NOW has found that of at least four interviews the FBI conducted with the woman related to the Epstein investigations, only one memo — and no handwritten notes — reflecting such an interview is included on the DOJ site.
At about the same time that the FBI circulated its PowerPoint presentation and spreadsheet of tips, a third FBI document — an internal email — stated that “salacious information” about Trump, among others, appeared in the “JE file,” and that “one identified victim claimed abuse by Trump but ultimately refused to cooperate.” MS NOW cannot confirm that the “identified victim” referred to in that email is the Trump accuser referenced above.....
“Covering up direct evidence of a potential assault by the President of the United States is the most serious possible crime in this White House cover-up,” said Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, which is conducting an investigation into the DOJ release.

There are missing documents in the Epstein files

The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.
Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appear to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, as well as notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.
NPR reviewed multiple sets of unique serial numbers appearing before and after the pages in question, stamped onto documents in the Epstein files database, FBI case records, emails and discovery document logs in the latest tranche of documents published at the end of January. NPR's investigation found dozens of pages that appear to be catalogued by the Justice Department but not shared publicly......
The FBI interviewed this Trump and Epstein accuser four times. That is according to an FBI "Serial Report" and a list of Non-Testifying Witness Material in the Maxwell case that were also released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Only the first interview, conducted July 24, 2019, is in the public database. That interview does not mention Trump.
Of 15 documents listed in a log of the Maxwell discovery material for this first accuser, only seven are in the Epstein files database. Those missing also include notes that accompany three of the interviews. The discrepancy in the file for the Trump accuser was first reported by independent journalist Roger Sollenberger.
According to NPR's review of three different sets of serial numbers stamped onto the files, there appear to be 53 pages of interview documents and notes missing from the public Epstein database.
