The Justice Department has posted online three FBI interviews related to sexual assault allegations against President Donald Trump that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files released by the Department of Justice.
A CNN analysis discovered dozens of witness interviews were missing from the online archive of evidence related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, all of which were memorialized in a so-called “302” memo that lays out what an interviewee told FBI agents. The 302s do not include other corroborating information or agents’ opinions.
Among the missing records were three interviews related to a woman who told agents that Epstein had repeatedly abused her decades ago, starting when she was approximately 13 years old, and who also accused Trump of sexually assaulting her. Trump has consistently denied wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. Under the law, the DOJ can withhold files that were duplicates, privileged, or are part of an ongoing federal investigation.
The Justice Department has not explained why the Trump-related witness interview descriptions were not released but said in a statement last week that it had initiated a review to see whether any documents were “improperly tagged in the review process.” If that happened , the department said it would release them, the statement said.
