A bombshell report regarding the Epstein files is threatening to spoil President Donald Trump’s big day.
An NPR investigation, published the morning of the president’s State of the Union address, alleges that the DOJ withheld dozens of documents from its Epstein release that may pertain to a woman who accused Trump and Jeffrey Epstein of sexually abusing her when she was a minor.
The FBI took the allegations against the president so seriously that it reportedly sent agents to interview his accuser a total of four times in 2019. However, only documents regarding the first interview have been released, independent journalist Roger Sollenberger revealed this month.
NPR now reports that the missing documents from the next three interviews “include what appears to be more than 50 pages” of documents detailing FBI sit-downs with the accuser, who said she was around 13 when she was abused by the men in the early 1980s.
