Epstein Files Have Woman’s Claims That Trump Abused Her at 13

In the latest tranche of documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, thousands of FBI entries submitted by the public have surfaced — including a shocking allegation that former President Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was about 13 years old.

While the Justice Department and FBI say the claims were unverified and not pursued as credible leads, the presence of such tips has reignited discussions about how the bureau handled tips involving Trump and the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

What the FBI Document Says

Among the spreadsheets of public tips transferred to the FBI is an entry indicating that a woman told a friend she was forced to perform oral sex on Trump approximately 35 years ago in New Jersey, and that she was around 13–14 years old at the time. The narrative goes on to describe the girl biting Trump and being physically struck afterward. The same tip also mentioned that the complainant reported being abused by Epstein as well.

Another part of the FBI document lists a separate complainant claiming to have witnessed human trafficking at Trump’s Rancho Palos Verdes golf course in the mid-1990s, allegedly facilitated by Ghislaine Maxwell. That file even included a purported threat by Trump’s then-head of security, though these versions were also left uninvestigated because of a lack of contact information.

The FBI’s own response notes that the complaint about the 13-year-old was spoken to and deemed not credible, and that other allegations lacked sufficient data to pursue follow-up.

DOJ and White House Response

The Department of Justice stressed that the new document production includes every public submission sent to the FBI, including “fake or falsely submitted images, documents, or videos,” because this was required under the law governing the release. DOJ said some claims were submitted just before the 2020 election and are unfounded and false.

A White House spokesperson echoed that position, saying the allegations — including the 13-year-old tip — were not corroborated and would have been “weaponised” long ago if they had any credible basis.

Officials have also clarified that the presence of such tips in the files does not equal evidence of criminal conduct by Trump or anyone else. Many entries are anonymous or lack verification, and inclusion often simply reflects things that were submitted to the FBI, not what investigators independently confirmed.

Context on the Epstein Files Release

The Justice Department’s latest release encompasses millions of pages of documents — including FBI spreadsheets, tip submissions, transcripts, and other material tied to the long-running investigations into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The files have generated wider scrutiny because they reference a range of powerful figures and past associations, but they also reflect the limits of what is confirmed versus what was merely alleged publicly.

While some of the attention has focused on sensational claims, experts and legal analysts caution that raw submissions — even if included in official files — are not vetted findings, and many tips are marked as unverified. The DOJ has pointed out that portions of the materials remain unreleased, adding to perceptions that the full picture is incomplete.

Public Debate and Broader Impact

The reappearance of explosive tips — even if unsubstantiated — has stirred public debate. Supporters of Trump have dismissed the allegations as political or unfounded, and some commentators argue the DOJ’s release process has invited sensationalism by publishing unverified claims. Critics, including victims’ advocates, say the files underscore the need for comprehensive transparency and accountability in handling reports involving powerful individuals.

Others have noted that some historical civil lawsuits alleging abuse — such as a prior lawsuit by a woman identified as “Jane Doe” who alleged rape at age 13 in the 1990s — were filed and later withdrawn, but never tested in court.

Against this backdrop, political figures continue to debate the significance of the files, and DOJ officials have pushed back against claims that relevant material has been withheld.
