An accusation has surfaced in the Epstein Files suggesting that Donald Trump sexually assaulted a woman when she was a minor.
The woman, who remains unnamed, alleged that the current US President sexually assaulted her after being introduced by Jeffrey Epstein when she was between 13 and 15 years old. According to her account in an interview from October 2019, she first encountered Trump in either New York or New Jersey, with Epstein also present.
The woman claimed that Trump physically assaulted her, stating that he hit her after she bit him on the genitalia. She further alleged that he pulled her hair and punched her on the side of her head.
Responding to the allegations, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed them as unfounded, pointing out that they lack credible evidence and come from a woman with a troubled past. Leavitt emphasized that the Justice Department under Joe Biden had been aware of these allegations for four years but took no action, indicating that Trump had not committed any wrongdoing.
The woman’s claims were detailed in FBI interview summaries, where she mentioned that Trump seemed to have an issue with her gender identity, describing him as disapproving of her being a “boy-girl.” She recalled that Trump asked everyone to leave before the alleged incident took place.
According to the report, the woman stated that Trump made derogatory remarks towards her and requested her removal from the premises. She also mentioned feeling repulsed by Trump’s actions.
Trump has vehemently denied any accusations against him and maintains that the Epstein Files have cleared his name. However, his handling of the situation has faced criticism from both allies and political opponents, particularly regarding the release of related documents.
A recent YouGov poll revealed that a significant portion of Americans believe that Trump is attempting to conceal Epstein’s crimes, with varying percentages across political affiliations.
