Of Course It's Plausible Trump Raped a 13-Year-Old
When an allegation recently surfaced in the Epstein files that Donald Trump sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl decades ago, most of us did not react with disbelief. We reacted with a grim, exhausted: of course this is plausible.
News just broke that the FBI interviewed a woman who once accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was barely a teenage girl. Internal documents referencing the allegation exist but the Trump Justice Department has withheld portions of that material, likely in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The Justice Department insists that it has withheld only information designed to spare the survivor embarrassment. Right.
Here are the facts as we know them (and thanks to the Justice Department’s decision to withhold information, there is a lot this administration does not want us to know): a survivor alleged that sometime in the mid-1980s, when she was between thirteen- and fifteen-years-old, “Epstein introduced her to Trump who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out.”
The FBI interviewed this witness four times — all during the first Trump administration while Christopher Wray was director of the bureau and Bill Barr was attorney general. (Another survivor accused Barr of having witnessed the abuse at Epstein’s house.) Needless to say, all of it was swept up under the rug. The only notation that is publicly available, sent from one FBI agent to another in the Southern District of New York on July 22, 2025, says that “one identified victim claimed abuse by Trump but ultimately refused to cooperate.”
