Newly obtained FBI memos from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation include unverified but explicit allegations that former President Donald Trump sexually abused a minor in the 1980s—claims omitted from the Department of Justice’s public release of Epstein-related files. The DOJ says it’s reviewing whether documents were improperly withheld under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, amid accusations from Democratic lawmakers that key interview summaries were excluded. The missing pages relate to a 2019 accuser’s multiple FBI interviews. Trump has denied wrongdoing, while critics and members of Congress demand greater transparency over the omissions. (PC: EPA)
