DOJ Releases Interviews Of Woman Accusing Trump Of Assault

On March 5, 2026, the Department of Justice (DOJ) released three previously withheld FBI interview summaries (known as 302 memos) detailing allegations of sexual assault against President Donald Trump. The documents are part of a broader release of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

 

Key Details of the Allegations

The interviews, conducted in 2019, involve an unnamed woman from South Carolina who alleged the following:

Assault as a Minor: She claimed that Epstein introduced her to Trump in the early 1980s, when she was between 13 and 15 years old.

The Incident: She alleged that Trump took her to a "very tall building" in New York or New Jersey, asked others to leave, and attempted to force her into a sexual act. She claimed she bit him to resist, after which he allegedly struck her and ordered her to be removed.

Ongoing Threats: The woman described receiving threatening phone calls and being "run off the road" in the years following the alleged abuse, which she attributed to Epstein or Trump.

Other Claims: The notes also mention uncorroborated allegations that Trump discussed "washing money through casinos" and having "illegal building permits".

 

Context of the Release

Reason for Delay: The DOJ stated these specific memos were initially withheld because they were "incorrectly coded as duplicative" during the review process.

Verifiability: The allegations remain uncorroborated and unverified by federal investigators. No charges were filed based on these claims.

Missing Pages: Reports from NPR and other outlets indicate that at least 37 pages of related notes and internal communications still appear to be missing from the public database.

 

Official Responses

White House: Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the accusations “completely baseless” and "backed by zero credible evidence," describing the accuser as a "disturbed woman" with a criminal history.

DOJ Stance: While the White House dismissed the claims, sources told The Miami Herald that FBI agents found the woman to be "credible" enough to interview her four separate times
