The US Justice Department has released over 3 million pages of documents from investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, including new allegations involving President Donald Trump. The files, comprising more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, contain claims that an unidentified woman was made to perform oral sex on Trump 35 years ago, with allegations similar to those in a dismissed 2016 civil lawsuit.
One document alleges the woman bit Trump during the act. The Justice Department labeled sections mentioning Trump as "untrue and sensationalist," noting they were submitted anonymously to the FBI in 2020 without evidence. Trump claimed some files had been "faked" or "doctored" by his rivals.
The latest allegations mirror a 2016 civil lawsuit filed under a pseudonym. That case accused Trump and Epstein of raping a 13-year-old girl at a party hosted by Epstein in 1994. The lawsuit described Trump allegedly tying the plaintiff to a bed, raping her, and threatening her family if she spoke out. The case was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice in 2016, and no charges were ever brought.
Trump Denies Wrongdoing
Trump's representatives stated the 2016 claims were "categorically untrue." Officials in the United States emphasized that no documents suggest Trump was under investigation for wrongdoing. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated the Justice Department "did not protect" Trump during its review of the Epstein files.
The document release follows criticism from members of Congress over the administration's slow pace in complying with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The law, passed in November, mandated the Justice Department release all Epstein-related records by December 19, 2025.
What Being Named Means
Being named in the Epstein files does not imply guilt or wrongdoing. Prosecutors collected files on anyone who knew Epstein, even if they played no role in his crimes. Neither Trump nor former President Bill Clinton, who appears in photographs in the files, has been officially accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
The files include a dozen photos of Epstein's jail cell and a 38-page screenshot of Trump's Wikipedia page. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's accomplice, is currently serving 20 years for recruiting underage women for the convicted financier, who died by suicide in 2019.
