President Donald Trump has broken his silence on the Epstein files after being accused of sexually abusing an underage girl.
Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice released over 3.5 million documents tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The release, conducted under the Epstein Transparency Act, follows intense public and congressional pressure after a missed December 19 disclosure deadline.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche emphasized that the White House had no oversight of the release and that no evidence of criminal conduct by Trump was found in the files.
Blanche also noted that, per Fox News, Epstein never accused the president of illegal behavior, even in private communications.
Graphic Allegations Surface, Credibility Unverified
The newly released documents include several unverified and graphic complaints submitted to the FBI, some just before the 2020 election.
Among them is an allegation from a woman who claimed she was 13 or 14 when she was forced to perform oral sex on Trump in New Jersey more than three decades ago.
According to the complaint, she bit Trump during the act and was “allegedly hit in the face after she laughed," cited by The Mirror.
Another disturbing complaint alleged Trump’s involvement in a sex trafficking ring and claimed he was present when a newborn child was murdered.
The complainant alleged that the president paid for sexual acts and was a witness to the infant’s death. The FBI was reportedly unable to reestablish contact with the individual for further investigation.
Despite the shocking nature of these claims, none have been corroborated, and no charges have been filed.
Sex Trafficking Allegations at Trump Properties
Further complaints accused Trump of hosting so-called “calendar girls” parties at his Mar-a-Lago estate, where children were allegedly brought by Epstein and “auctioned off.”
The complaint, submitted without contact information, also claimed that high-profile figures, including Elon Musk and Trump’s children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric, were present at these events.
In a separate incident, a witness claimed to have observed a sex trafficking operation at Trump’s Rancho Palos Verdes golf course between 1995 and 1996.
The complaint also alleged that Ghislaine Maxwell, now serving a 20-year sentence, operated the ring, and that celebrity host Robin Leach strangled a girl at a party. Trump’s head of security allegedly threatened the complainant into silence.
DOJ and White House Deny Claims
The Department of Justice warned that many 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 weaponised against President Trump already,” the DOJ said in a public statement, which was also shared by the White House.
A file referencing the sexual abuse claim was briefly removed from the DOJ website, but the agency said it was due to server overload and that the file had since been restored.
Trump Responds
Speaking aboard Air Force One on Saturday before departing for Florida, Trump addressed the latest claims for the first time.
“I didn’t see it myself but I was told by some very important people that not only does it absolve me, it’s the opposite of what people were hoping, you know, the radical left,” he said.
The 79-year-old has long denied any criminal conduct related to Epstein. While he acknowledged knowing Epstein socially and once called him a “terrific guy" who liked women "on the younger side,” he later claimed they had a falling out and had not spoken for 15 years prior to Epstein’s death.
The DOJ’s files include flight logs that place Trump on Epstein’s private jet between 1993 and 1997.
However, being named in the documents does not indicate wrongdoing. Trump has not been charged with any crimes related to Epstein and has not been the subject of any investigation, according to current records.
