Allegations made by a woman against President Donald Trump during an interview with the FBI, which were initially reported on by The New York Times and NPR, are now coming under heavy scrutiny. A document approximately 25 pages in length that includes details from four different interviews between the woman and agents with the bureau in 2019 has become the central focus of the left’s narrative following the release of the Epstein files.
The Justice Department did not officially release this document to the public with the rest of the files due to a federal law the president signed in late 2025 that mandated the release of the notorious files. An administration official spoke with reporters at Breitbart News, referring to the accusations made against Trump as “non-credible.”
“These non-credible accusations against President Trump made in 2019 were in the SDNY files and listed as duplicative files, and therefore not legally required to be released by the Epstein Transparency Act as it was written by Congress,” the official said. The documents were first reported on by NPR and include a series of claims made by the woman about men she alleges were now-deceased convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and Trump.
According to Breitbart, the New York Times followed suit with a report of their own on the document. The left-leaning publication attempted to spin a narrative about the document being withheld from the legally mandated release of the files, suggesting that the president’s team was holding it back because it contained an allegation made against Trump.
Another known left-wing publication, Mediaite, also created a piece referring to the allegations as “credible” in its headline for the story. The piece published by the Times was more cautious by avoiding the term “credible” substituting “uncorroborated” for the allegations made against the president. A newspaper from South Carolina, the Post and Courier, similarly described the situation using such terms.
“The Epstein files released by the U.S. Justice Department failed to include three FBI interview summaries and six other documents related to the investigation of a victim who said Jeffrey Epstein repeatedly sexually assaulted her when she was a young teen living on Hilton Head Island,” the paper said. “The documents also noted allegations involving the teen that were made against President Donald Trump.”
“The omission raised questions about whether the Justice Department selectively withheld documents that referenced allegations against Trump and other powerful figures caught up in Epstein’s elite circle,” it continued. Breitbart then revealed that it obtained a copy of the document and reviewed its contents. The outlet reported that the first nine pages of it are a recap of the interview the woman had with FBI agents, where they recount the details of the story she told them.

In the first interview, Breitbart says that the woman never mentioned the president. She describes a man she claims she met in the early 1980s while growing up in South Carolina. The woman was in her early-to-mid teens at the time. She identifies the man as “Jeff.” She then describes how her mom sent her to “Jeff’s” home to babysit. She then says the man offered her a mix of drugs including cocaine, marijuana, and alcohol, before he “forced her to give him oral sex.”
The woman informed the agents that she was unsure if she ever heard “Jeff’s” last name, but became certain he was Jeffrey Epstein four decades later when a friend shared reports about Jeffrey Epstein with her. The reports contained photos and that’s when she became sure this was the same man who abused her. However, Jacqueline Sweet, an investigative journalist, posted on social media that she spoke with Mark Epstein, Jeffrey’s brother, who cast doubts on the woman’s account.
“I spoke to Mark Epstein, who said he had never heard of his brother summering in South Carolina in the early 80s for several summers, and he said there’s no way he wouldn’t have known that,” Sweet’s post read. In subsequent interviews with the FBI, the woman said she did not know how she got from South Carolina to New York where the alleged meeting with Trump took place.
She could not verify if “Jeff” drove her there or if she took a plane. Nor could she be sure if it was New York or New Jersey, saying it could have been either location. The woman also told the agents her mother served time in a federal prison in South Carolina for charges of embezzlement, which she says was the result of blackmail by Epstein. However, the Bureau of Prisons had “no record” of the woman’s mother’s name in their system.
The agents stated that the woman’s story changed from the second interview to the third interview concerning what she claims Trump did. In the fourth interview, which took place in October 2019, she informed agents she was being represented by famous feminist lawyers Lisa Bloom and Gloria Allred. However, neither of them has ever spoken publicly about the woman’s allegations against the president.
Agents then stated when she was pressed to provide more details about the allegations against Trump, she responded by asking “what the point would be of providing the information at this point in her life when there was a strong possibility nothing could be done about it.” She then ended the interview. Reports then state that she cut off contact with the FBI in November 2019 after her attorney says she experienced a “suspicious incident” at her place of employment.
