DOJ now 'reviewing' tranche of Epstein records that mysteriously vanished
The Department of Justice on Wednesday responded to the missing FBI reports related to a woman who claimed she was sexually assaulted when she was a minor by both late financier and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and President Donald Trump in the 1980s.
The DOJ said it was "currently reviewing" the apparent missing Epstein documents related to the tranche of records, CNN reported.
The agency released the following statement on its X account:
"As the Department of Justice has consistently said and has done since the January 30, 2026 publication of the Epstein files, if any member of the public, including victims, reported concerns with information in the pages, the Department would review, make any corrections, and republish online. 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. Should any document be found to have been improperly tagged in the review process and is responsive to the Act, the Department will of course publish it, consistent with the law."
The uncorroborated accusation stems from a woman who came forward to the FBI in 2019 after Epstein was arrested, The New York Times reported.
"The existence of the memos was revealed in an index listing the investigative materials related to her account, which was publicly released," The Times reported. "According to that index, the F.B.I. conducted four interviews in connection with her claims and wrote summaries about each one. But only one summary of the four interviews, which describes her accusations against Mr. Epstein, was released by the Justice Department. The other three are missing."
Trump has continued to deny any wrongdoing. White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said the president has “been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein.”
