In an article posted Wednesday, NBC News made the following claim: The Department of Justice has not released summaries and notes from three separate interviews the FBI conducted with a South Carolina woman who alleged she was a sexual assault victim of Jeffrey Epstein and also made sexual abuse allegations against President Donald Trump, according to an NBC News analysis of the Epstein files and information provided by a source familiar with the investigation.
Those files are also not included in the unredacted collection available for members of Congress to view at the Department of Justice, according to Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee.
The woman came forward to federal law enforcement shortly after Epstein was arrested in 2019 with a lengthy description of how he assaulted her on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, when she was 13 years old in or around 1984, according to a summary of the FBI interview released by DOJ.
The report claims that the FBI interviewed a woman four times regarding her allegations against Epstein, according to an evidence catalog in the case against convicted Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell released by DOJ.
The only interview summary released by the DOJ was from July 24, 2019, according to NBC News. Repeated sexual abuse was noted by Epstein, but no allegations were made against Trump.
NBC News claimed: “A source familiar with the investigation confirmed to NBC News that the Epstein survivor from Hilton Head Island is the same person who made an additional allegation that she was forced into a sex act with Trump when she was 13 years old in New Jersey.:
The White House responded to questions about the claims, referring NBC News to a statement the Justice Department issued when the Epstein files were released.
The DOJ stated: “This production may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents or videos, as everything that was sent to the FBI by the public was included in the production that is responsive to the Act. Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”
