Justice Department Releases Epstein Documents Implicating Donald Trump, Including Testimony From Two Minors

The U.S. political fight over the Jeffrey Epstein case has intensified after the U.S. Department of Justice released “three million pages of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case on January 30, 2026,” according to Proceso.

“The Epstein file returns to the forefront of US political debate, but this time through the Republican Party, as calls to disclose the complete documents related to the case intensify”

The newly released material includes what Proceso describes as “testimonies of two girls who were minors at the time of the alleged events, who directly implicate President Donald Trump.”

Proceso says one document is “a 21-page slide deck produced by the FBI unit dedicated to Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking,” and that under “Key Figures” it notes testimony from a first accuser who says Epstein introduced her to Trump and “allegedly coerced her into a sex act before beating her severamente when she resisted.”

Proceso also says an “official FBI form” details a second complaint accusing Trump of raping her at age 13 in 1994, and that the accuser is identified in court filings as “Jane Doe 4.”

In parallel, France 24 frames the broader U.S. response as limited compared with Europe, saying that in the United States “only Ghislaine Maxwell… has been arrested and convicted,” and that Maxwell is “currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.”

France 24 adds that the Department of Justice told CNN that “we had reviewed the Epstein case and there was nothing that would allow us to prosecute anyone,” quoting Todd Blanche.

The dispute is now also being carried into congressional politics, with L’Express describing how Democrats hope Bill Clinton’s testimony could set a precedent to compel Donald Trump to testify, while also pointing to pressure on Attorney General Pam Bondi and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

The release of the Epstein documents has sharpened a specific intra-Republican conflict, with Nancy Mace emerging as a central figure in multiple accounts.

Axios says Trump’s allies are “growing alarmed” that GOP Rep. Nancy Mace—who “infuriated him by calling for the release of the Epstein files”—will “defy expectations and win the South Carolina governor's race,” with her race set for a “June 9 primary.”

Axios adds that Mace has been “a thorn in Trump's side,” including with a threat to side with Democrats on a “war powers resolution,” and it notes that Trump has not endorsed a rival despite needing votes in the House.

In Proceso’s narrative, Marjorie Taylor Greene is described as having challenged Trump after his refusal to release Justice Department files on Epstein, with Greene, Lauren Boebert, and Nancy Mace signing “una petición de descarga para forzar la votación.”

Proceso quotes Trump’s response, saying he called Greene “traidora” and “lunática,” “retiró su respaldo y prometió apoyar a quien la desafiara en las primarias.”

Proceso also includes Greene’s televised response, quoting her as saying, “Quisiera decir, humildemente, que lamento haber participado en la política tóxica.”

Al-Jazeera Net similarly centers Mace, saying she has taken “a firm stance calling for full transparency and the disclosure of all case documents,” and that this has put her in “a tense confrontation with President Donald Trump.”

Proceso’s account describes the contents of the released Epstein materials in detail, including the ages of accusers and the alleged sequence of introductions and assaults.

France 24

It says one accuser’s testimony, under the “Key Figures” heading in the “21-page slide deck,” places her at “13 to 15 years old” between “1983 and 1985,” and states that she says Epstein introduced her to Trump, who “allegedly coerced her into a sex act before beating her severamente cuando she resisted.”

Proceso also says a second document is “an official FBI form” describing a complaint that accuses Trump of raping the accuser “at age 13 in 1994,” and that the accuser is “identified in court filings as Jane Doe 4.”

Proceso adds that it says Epstein “had hired her as a babysitter at his Hilton Head, South Carolina residence before taking her to New York,” where she would have been “presented as easy prey at private parties attended by influential men.”

It further states that “The FBI had described the accuser as credible,” and says “The Daily Beast revealed on February 17, 2026” that the Department of Justice questioned the accuser “four times,” with investigators deeming her credible.

Proceso then ties the revelations to a dispute over what Attorney General Pam Bondi testified to, saying it “directly contradict[s] the statements by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who had testified under oath that the Department of Justice possessed no evidence of underage girls at parties to which the president had attended.”

France 24 adds a different framing of the U.S. legal outcome, saying “only Ghislaine Maxwell… has been arrested and convicted,” and that Maxwell was found guilty in “2021” and is serving a “20-year prison sentence.”

As the Epstein file debate expands, L’Express reports that Bill Clinton became the first former U.S. president to be forced to testify before a congressional committee, in a hearing that Democrats hope could pressure Donald Trump.

L’Express says Clinton “changed the game on Friday: he had to explain himself, for six hours and behind closed doors, about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein,” and it adds that Clinton said he hosted the sexual predator at the White House “(17 times)” and traveled on his private jet “(27 times).”

L’Express quotes Clinton telling the committee, “Not only would I not have boarded his plane if I had even the slightest suspicion of what he was doing, but I would have denounced him myself and would have campaigned to see justice done for his crimes, and not for amicable settlements,” and it says Clinton insisted that Hillary had “nothing to do with the sexual predator.”

The article also describes how Democrats hope Clinton’s testimony can set a precedent, citing Rep. Ro Khanna’s “Clinton rule” idea to compel Donald Trump to testify.

L’Express says Democrats are also looking at Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing her of “willfully omitting to publish certain archives related to Jeffrey Epstein,” and at Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, accused of “lied by concealing his trip to the financier's private island.”

It quotes Robert Garcia, saying, “It is time for the president to answer questions about missing Justice Department files, the reason for the White House's organized cover-up, and why this administration continues to call the investigation a hoax.”

France 24 reports that the Department of Justice’s position has not satisfied lawmakers, quoting Todd Blanche’s statement to CNN that “we had reviewed the Epstein case and there was nothing that would allow us to prosecute anyone,” and it says Donald Trump reiterated he was “personally totally exonerated” when asked about whether associates would be arrested.

France 24 situates the U.S. Epstein controversy within a wider comparison, arguing that Europe has seen “heads roll” while American justice has been limited, and it points to the arrest of former Prince Andrew as a contrast.

It says the arrest “highlighted the striking contrast between Europe, where influential figures are dragged into turmoil over their past ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and the United States, where repercussions have been limited,” and it reiterates that in the U.S. “only Ghislaine Maxwell” has been arrested and convicted.

Proceso

France 24 quotes Todd Blanche’s explanation to CNN that “we had reviewed the Epstein case and there was nothing that would allow us to prosecute anyone,” and it says this justification has not satisfied lawmakers, including Democrats and Republicans.

The article includes a direct criticism from Nancy Mace on X, writing: “It's a disgrace, wrote South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace on X,” and it adds her line that “A country that allows the powerful to escape justice is not a country governed by the rule of law.”

France 24 further reports polling and consequences, saying that a Reuters/Ipsos poll found “53% of Americans surveyed say the Epstein affair has reduced their trust in the country's political and economic leaders,” and that “69% of those surveyed said the Epstein case shows that influential people in the United States are rarely held accountable for their actions.”

It also lists resignations tied to the controversy, including “Larry Summers, Treasury secretary under Bill Clinton,” and “billionaire Thomas Pritzker, head of the Hyatt hotel group,” plus “Goldman Sachs' general counsel Kathryn Ruemmler.”

In Proceso, the stakes are framed as ongoing rather than resolved, stating “The case, far from closing, is only just beginning,” and it says Democrats in the House argue the FBI still holds “2.5 million unpublished files.”
