Amid Orders to Strike Iran, Epstein Documents Claim Trump Sexually Abused Girls Aged 13 to 15
Amid US-Israel tensions over Iran, the American public has also been abuzz with discussions about Epstein documents. The documents implicate Donald Trump, the US president who ordered strikes on Iran. According to the BBC, the FBI file summarising interviews with a woman who made allegations of sexual misconduct by Donald Trump has been released as part of the Epstein records held by the US Department of Justice (DOJ). The release comes after reports that the documents had disappeared from the DOJ database, prompting Democrats to accuse Washington officials of a cover-up. The DOJ said that they had inadvertently withheld the files during the review because they had been misencoded as duplicates. The memo describes a series of interviews in 2019 with the unnamed woman, who made claims against Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. The president has consistently denied wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, the sex offender. According to one of the three memos, the unnamed woman told FBI agents during the interviews that she was introduced to Trump by Epstein in the 1980s when she was still a teenager. The woman accused both men of sexually assaulting her when she was aged between 13 and 15. According to the records, the FBI stopped contact with the woman after the interview. It is unclear whether Trump and Epstein knew each other during the period claimed by the woman as the time of the incident. In a statement responding to the newly published allegations, the White House said the allegations are entirely unfounded and not supported by credible evidence. ‘As we have said many times, President Trump has been fully exonerated by the release of the Epstein files,’ said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
