A previously withheld FBI interview report, now part of the publicly released Epstein files, contains a woman's uncorroborated account claiming she was introduced to Donald Trump by Jeffrey Epstein when she was between 13 and 15 years old. The document—FBI case31E-NY-3027571, Interview #2, dated 7 August 2019, and filed under reference EFTA02858481—is one of three 302 reports the US Department of Justice released on 6 March 2026 after initially withholding them from the January release.
According to the FBI summary, the woman told federal agents that Trump 'asked everyone to leave the room' before the alleged incident took place. The document records that Trump 'mentioned something to the effect of, "Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be."' The woman's account goes on to describe a physical assault. Her identity remains redacted throughout the document. Trump has denied any wrongdoing related to his association with Epstein or any knowledge of Epstein's criminal activity.

The Department of Justice, in a statement published on social media, said the three interview summaries were initially excluded from the January release because they were believed to be duplicates of other documents already made public. 'After this was brought to our attention, we reviewed the entire batch with the similar coding and discovered 15 documents were incorrectly coded as duplicative,' theDOJ stated. The DOJ did not provide a full explanation for why the records were marked that way beyond possible human error. As of Thursday evening, the DOJ's online database still did not include the handwritten notes from the interviews themselves.
Prior to the release, congressional Democrats had accused the Justice Department of deliberately withholding the documents to shield the president. California Democrat Robert Garcia stated last week: 'It is unconscionable, it is illegal, and [Attorney General] Pam Bondi and the president need to answer where those files are.'
The FBI interviewed the woman four times between July and October 2019. Her allegations in each session centred on abuse by Epstein. It was during her second interview, conducted on 7 August 2019, that she described being taken to either New York or New Jersey and introduced to Trump by Epstein, with the alleged incident occurring during that trip. In a fourth interview in October 2019, she declined to provide further details about the alleged interaction with Trump when agents asked follow-up questions.
The document reviewed—page 8 of 10—records that after Trump asked others to leave the room, the woman resisted his advances. The file notes Trump 'struck' her during the encounter, and that she fought back. Following the alleged assault, the document records that a woman approached her and said, 'let me give you a tip little girl about your breasts, wear a bra every night.' The witness told agents those words had stayed with her throughout the years.
As we said a week ago, the Department of Justice reviewed public allegations that 302 documents originally produced to Ghislaine Maxwell in discovery of her criminal case were missing from the EFTA library. As we have consistently done, if any member of the public reported…https://t.co/y7snlxbT0K
In a January statement, the DOJ had already acknowledged that some investigative files within the Epstein document release contained allegations targeting Trump. 'Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election,' thestatement read. 'To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponised against President Trump already.'
The release of these three 302 reports marks a significant moment in the ongoing effort to make the full scope of the Epstein investigation public. TheEpstein Files Transparency Act, passed overwhelmingly by Congress in November 2025, compelled the DOJ to release all documents in its possession related to Epstein within 30 days. The belated disclosure of files that were incorrectly coded as duplicates raises questions about the completeness of the initial January release, and whether further misfiled documents remain outstanding.
