The U.S. Justice Department has published additional documents from the Epstein files, including FBI records containing allegations involving Donald Trump that were not included in the initial release.
The missing records were posted online after several American media outlets, including NBC News, reported that certain documents appeared to be absent.
According to the Justice Department, some files had been incorrectly labeled as “duplicative” in an internal spreadsheet, which prevented them from appearing in the public release. The error has since been corrected.
Among the newly released materials are summaries and notes from three FBI interviews with a woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein and also abused by the current president.
Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, while the White House has stated that the Epstein files ultimately clear him of the allegations.
Sky News has contacted the White House for comment regarding the claims found in the newly released documents.
Earlier on Thursday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described the accusations as “completely baseless” and said they are supported by no credible evidence.
The Justice Department has previously warned that the Epstein files contain allegations that have not been verified and may be inaccurate.
The woman, who is from South Carolina, contacted law enforcement after Epstein’s arrest in 2019.
She alleges that the financier assaulted her on Hilton Head Island when she was 13 years old. According to the FBI interview summary, the incident is said to have occurred around 1984.
Follow-up interviews were conducted by the FBI on July 24, August 7, August 20, and October 16 of 2019.
These interview dates were previously revealed in a catalogue of evidence related to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former partner and convicted associate, which was released by the Justice Department.
Initially, only the summary of the July 24 interview appeared in the Epstein document archive, and it did not reference any accusations against Trump.
However, the memos from the other three interviews have now been made public. In those documents, the woman — whose identity remains redacted — claims she was abused by Epstein and several of his associates, including, she alleges, Trump.
The Justice Department reiterated that the Epstein files may contain unverified or false allegations.
The documents were released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a law signed by Trump last year following pressure from Republican lawmakers.
When publishing the records, the department warned that the collection may contain fake or misleading materials submitted by members of the public to the FBI.
It also noted that some documents include sensational claims against Trump that were submitted shortly before the 2020 election.
The department stated that the accusations are unfounded and false, adding that if there had been credible evidence, it likely would have been used against Trump earlier.
The law requires the release of Epstein-related files but allows the Justice Department to withhold records containing victim information, child sexual abuse material, or details that could interfere with ongoing investigations or prosecutions.
However, it prohibits withholding documents solely because they might cause embarrassment, reputational damage, or political sensitivity to officials or public figures.
