WASHINGTON — Allegations raised in FBI interview documents against President Donald Trump, first highlighted by NPR and The New York Times, are now unraveling as more details come to light.
A 25-page document summarizing four FBI interviews with a woman in 2019 became part of the discussion after the release of the so-called “Epstein Files.” Breitbart News reviewed the document and withheld her name. The Justice Department did not release this file with the rest of the Epstein materials, even though it followed the law President Trump signed to ensure transparency.
An administration official explained that these were “non-credible accusations” already listed as duplicative in Southern District of New York files, meaning they were not legally required to be released under the Epstein Transparency Act. In other words, Congress didn’t mandate their release — shocking, right? Facts still matter.
NPR reported on the document’s contents, which included graphic claims involving men the woman alleged were Epstein and Trump. The New York Times followed up with a more cautious tone, describing the claims as “uncorroborated.” Meanwhile, other outlets ran with headlines calling them “credible,” because apparently adjectives are easier than evidence.
The South Carolina newspaper Post and Courier noted that the released Epstein files did not include three FBI interview summaries or several other documents related to the woman, raising questions about selective disclosure.
According to the document reviewed by Breitbart News, the first interview makes no mention of Trump at all. The woman described a man she identified only as “Jeff,” claiming she met him in the early 1980s while living in South Carolina. She said her mother sent her to his home to babysit, but instead alleged he offered her drugs and alcohol and forced sexual acts.
She admitted she did not know how she first learned his name and could not recall hearing his last name at the time. Only decades later, after a friend sent her photos and news stories, did she conclude the man was Jeffrey Epstein.
Investigative journalist Jacqueline Sweet reported speaking with Epstein’s brother, who cast serious doubt on the woman’s account.
FBI agents interviewed the woman four times in 2019. In later interviews, when Trump was mentioned, she could only provide an age range for herself and could not explain how she allegedly traveled from South Carolina to the New York area or whether it was even New York or New Jersey. She also claimed her mother went to federal prison after being blackmailed by Epstein, but the Bureau of Prisons reported no record matching the name given.
Agents noted inconsistencies between interviews regarding what she said Trump did. In the final interview, she said she was working with attorneys Lisa Bloom and Gloria Allred. Neither attorney has ever publicly backed her allegations — which is unusual, considering how quickly such claims usually make headlines when there is something to work with.
When pressed for more details, the woman questioned the point of continuing and ended the interview. Soon after, she stopped communicating directly with the FBI.
These interviews were part of files from the Southern District of New York, which during much of the Biden administration included James Comey’s daughter, Maurene Comey, in a senior role. Despite having access to these materials, the Biden Justice Department never charged President Trump based on these claims.
So after all the noise, what’s left? A story full of gaps, shifting details, and zero charges. Funny how “bombshells” tend to fizzle when exposed to actual scrutiny. In the end, the facts once again speak louder than the headlines — and they reinforce that President Trump’s record stands firm, with truth and transparency winning out over political theater.
