The United States Department of Justice published this Friday a new series of files related to the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The documents, released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, include serious and unverified allegations that name US President Donald Trump in alleged sexual crimes.
Federal authorities stressed that the material was not corroborated by the FBI and that it is part of information sent by individuals over the years, which was included in its entirety in the public release by legal mandate.
ACCUSATIONS INVOLVING MINORS
Among the documents is a series of testimonies that describe alleged sexual abuse against minors. One of the most delicate accusations indicates that Trump forced a minor between 13 and 14 years old to perform oral sex on him.
“I was 13 years old.” when “Donald J. Trump raped me,” reads one of the files, identified with the number EFTA01660679.
The same document describes alleged practices of physical control over minors, including evidence of genital “tightness” through touching, a statement that has not been corroborated by judicial authorities.
ALLEGED PARTIES AND SEX TRAFFICKING NETWORKS
The files also mention alleged parties organized at the Mar-a-Lago mansion, owned by Trump, with a format similar to Calendar Girls-type contests. According to the testimonies included, Epstein would have provided minors for these events, where auctions were supposedly held.
Attendees mentioned in the documents include “older men,” including Elon Musk, as well as Don Jr. and Eric Trump, Allan Dershowitz and Bob Shapiro. Ghislaine Maxwell and Ivanka Trump are also named as present at some of these meetings.
Another complainant claims that a “sex trafficking ring at the Trump Golf Course” existed in Rancho Palo Verdes, California, between 1995 and 1996, and that Maxwell acted as an intermediary. The person claimed to have received threats from Trump’s security chief if he spoke about what happened.
OTHER EXTREME COMPLAINTS
The documents also include testimony from a woman who accuses Trump of participating in sex trafficking and being present at the murder of her newborn baby by her uncle. The complainant maintains that Trump paid her to force her to have sexual relations with him. These accusations have not been proven or prosecuted.
THE OFFICIAL POSITION: “FALSE AND SENSATIONAL CLAIMS”
In a statement, the Department of Justice emphasized that the files may contain “false or fraudulently presented images, documents or videos,” and stressed that the publication does not imply any validation.
“Some of the documents contain false and sensational claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI just before the 2020 election,” the agency said.
He added that, if they had had legal basis, these accusations “would have already been used as a weapon against President Trump.”
BETWEEN TRANSPARENCY AND INFORMATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
The release of these files responds to a public demand for transparency about the Epstein case, but also poses a challenge to the responsible handling of information that includes unverified allegations, names of public figures and testimonies without judicial resolution.
So far, none of the accusations included in these documents have been confirmed by the FBI or led to formal charges against the American president.
