Justice Department Releases FBI Files Alleging Donald Trump Sexually Assaulted a Minor

The Justice Department on March 5–6, 2026 posted previously unreleased FBI interview summaries from its Jeffrey Epstein files after investigators found several records had been incorrectly coded as duplicates.

“Federal records released from a larger trove tied to Jeffrey Epstein include uncorroborated summaries the Justice Department said were previously omitted as duplicative”

The newly published notes include 2019 302 interview memos in which an unnamed woman alleges she was sexually assaulted as a minor in the 1980s and that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump.

The disclosures complete a set of interviews that reporters had flagged as missing from an earlier mass release and were posted under the Epstein Records Transparency Act and related public releases.

The summaries contain graphic, specific allegations.

The woman says the incidents occurred when she was about 13–15.

She says Epstein took her to New York or New Jersey.

She says that during one encounter she was introduced to Trump, who allegedly unzipped his pants and tried to force a sexual act.

She says she bit him when she resisted.

She also reported that she and people close to her received threatening calls she attributed to Epstein or to "the other".

Justice Department and FBI officials have emphasized that the notes are investigative interview records.

They said the notes are allegations recorded in 302 memos, not findings of guilt.

Officials warned the public that some material in the broader release may include unverified, false or sensational claims.

DOJ also says the recent postings filled items previously marked duplicative.

DOJ says some items, including agents' notes, remain redacted or unavailable.

The release has quickly become a political flashpoint.

Democrats on oversight panels have accused the DOJ of previously withholding material and have moved to subpoena Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and press for more complete disclosures.

The White House and Trump allies have dismissed the allegations as baseless.

The DOJ has defended its process amid criticism over uneven redactions and misclassification errors.

Reporters and analysts stress major evidentiary limits in the newly disclosed records.

They say the allegations remain uncorroborated in the public record, the complainant declined to elaborate in an October 2019 interview and then stopped cooperating, and some reporting flags chronological inconsistencies that place the alleged 1980s encounters before broader, documented Epstein–Trump interactions.

Investigators and the DOJ note that all of these factors weaken prospects for prosecutorial action based on the released 302s alone.
