The files released by the Justice Department from its investigations into Jeffrey Epstein did not include key materials related to a woman who made an accusation against President Trump, according to a review by The New York Times.

Those missing materials are FBI memos summarizing the interviews that the Bureau did in connection with claims made in 2019 by the woman, who said she'd been sexually assaulted by Trump and Epstein decades earlier, when she was a minor.

An index that was publicly released indicates that the FBI did four interviews related to her claims and wrote summaries about each of them.

Only one of the summaries was released, though.

Officials haven't said why these files weren't released, but the Justice Department has told The Times that any withheld files were either privileged or duplicates, and that files may be withheld if they're part of an ongoing federal investigation.
