One of the thousands of new documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein released by the Department of Justice on Tuesday includes an allegation that President Donald Trump raped an unnamed woman.
The claim was found within a report filed with the FBI in Oct. 27, 2020, which was released alongside thousands of new Epstein files. A man called the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center and relayed a 1999 Christmastime conversation he had with a woman about the time he allegedly drove Trump in a limousine in 1995. The man alleged that Trump repeatedly referred to a “Jeffrey” and made references to “abusing some girl.”
As the man spoke, the unnamed woman’s demeanor went “stone cold.” The woman eventually said that Trump “raped me” alongside Jeffrey Epstein. The man urged her to call the police, according to the report, but she said she feared for her safety.
“I can’t they will kill me,” the unnamed woman said, according to the report.
The claim is one of multiple documents in the Tuesday release that referenced Trump, his properties and his friendships with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Some are from media reports, while others focus on Trump directly.
Trump has not been accused of any wrongdoing due to his associations with Epstein, and he has said the two fell out years before Epstein was charged with sex trafficking in 2019.
“Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election,” the DOJ said in a statement tied to their release, which a White House official pointed to when reached for comment. “To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”
The statement adds that the department’s “commitment to the law and transparency” compelled it to release the documents, which include “legally required protections” for Epstein’s victims.
The Department of Justice also said in a statement on Tuesday that an alleged 2019 letter from Epstein to the physician Larry Nassar, who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing multiple girls, was a fake.
Epstein allegedly wrote that “our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab snatch,’ whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system. Life is unfair.”
The letter was postmarked on Aug. 13, 2019, three days after Epstein died by suicide while in federal custody. Epstein alluded to his imminent death in the letter, joking that he had “taken the ‘short route’ home.
The department said the FBI concluded it was fake due to differences in handwriting; the fact that it was delivered out of Northern Virginia, despite Epstein’s confinement in New York; and the return address missing Epstein’s jail and inmate number, which is required for outgoing mail from prisons.
“This fake letter serves as a reminder that just because a document is released by the Department of Justice does not make the allegations or claims within the document factual,” it said in a statement. “Nevertheless, the DOJ will continue to release all material required by law.”
One document, a January 2020 email from an assistant U.S. attorney in Manhattan, alleged that flight logs showed Trump flew on Epstein’s private plane “many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware).” The attorney, whose name was redacted, said Trump boarded “at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including at least four flights on which [Ghislaine] Maxwell was also present.” The flight logs were revealed in “phase one” of the Epstein files’ release in February this year.
Another document revealed that Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, was subpoenaed in 2021 for employment records relating to Ghislaine Maxwell, while yet another included a tip about a party “for prostitutes” at Mar-a-Lago.
One 2001 email to Maxwell from the address “aace@dial.pipex.com” with the name “The Invisible Man” asked her whether she had found “some new inappropriate friends” for them to meet in Los Angeles. The sender said they were at “Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family,” and they signed off the document “A xxx.” A document previously released by the DOJ listed the address under “Duke of York,” or Prince Andrew.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his royal titles earlier this year, has repeatedly denied witnessing or engaging in any impropriety with Epstein. Buckingham Palace and an attorney for Mountbatten-Windsor did not respond to immediate requests for comment.
