FBI Agents from the bureau’s Washington Office were dispatched to interview a whistleblower who accused the President of having sexually abused a girl 35 years ago in New Jersey
FBI agents interviewed a whistleblower who claimed to have information about Donald Trump sexually abusing an underage girl, according to newly released Epstein files.
The cache of documents includes what appear to be summary notes of calls made to an FBI whistleblower hotline last year which repeatedly refer to Donald Trump. Inclusion in such a list is not evidence of wrongdoing.
Some of the tips listed in the document were dismissed by as not credible.
But one reads: “[redacted] reported an unidentified female friend who was forced to perform oral sex on President Trump approximately 25 years ago in NJ [New Jersey]. The friend told Alexis that she was approximately 13-14 years old when this occurred and that the friend allegedly bit President Trump while performing oral sex. The friend was allegedly hit in the face after she laughed about biting President Trump. The friend said she was also abused by Epstein.”

In the follow-up notes for this entry, officers did not say the report was not credible, but wrote: “Spoke with caller who identified [redacted] as friend. Lead was sent to Washington Office to conduct interview.”
The Justice Department said it was releasing many more records from its investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein, resuming disclosures under a law intended to reveal what the government knew about the millionaire financier’s sexual abuse of young girls and his interactions with rich and powerful people including Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the department was releasing more than 3 million pages of documents in the latest Epstein disclosure, as well as more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. The files, which were being posted to the department’s website, include some of the several million pages of records that officials said were withheld from an initial release of documents in December.
The documents were disclosed under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the law enacted after months of public and political pressure that requires the government to open its files on the late financier and his confidant and onetime girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.
“Today’s release marks the end of a very comprehensive document identification and review process to ensure transparency to the American people and compliance with the act,” Blanche said at a news conference announcing the disclosure.
The prospect of previously unseen records tying Epstein to famous figures has long animated online sleuths, conspiracy theorists and others who have clamored for a full accounting that even Blanche acknowledged might not be met by the latest document dump.
“There’s a hunger, or a thirst, for information that I don’t think will be satisfied by review of these documents,” he said.
He insisted that, “We did not protect President Trump. We didn’t protect — or not protect — anybody,” Blanche said.
