"Several individuals and news outlets have recently flagged files related to documents produced to Ghislaine Maxwell in discovery of her criminal case that they claim appear to be missing. As with all documents that have been flagged by the public, the Department is currently reviewing files within that category of the production."
"At issue is a series of interviews said to have been conducted in 2019 with a woman who made an allegation against Trump, who has consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. News reports from recent days say the accuser was interviewed by the FBI four times as it sought to assess her account but a summary of only one of those interviews was included in the publicly released files."
The Justice Department announced it is reviewing whether documents were improperly withheld from the Jeffrey Epstein files after news organizations reported missing records. Specifically, summaries of FBI interviews with an unidentified woman who accused both Trump and Epstein of sexual assault in the 1980s were not included in the publicly released materials. The woman came forward after Epstein's 2019 arrest and was interviewed by the FBI four times, but only one interview summary appeared in the released files. The Justice Department stated it will publish any improperly withheld documents that are responsive to the federal law mandating the files' release. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein.
