They all related to an allegation that President Trump sexually abused a minor in the early 1980s.

There was a mention of this explicit allegation found in a Justice Department PowerPoint from last year that was in the files, and also an FBI email kind of recapping all of the claims made about Trump.

But we couldn't find it anywhere else in these files.

Looking at some of the other documents, we were able to find that the FBI interviewed this woman as an adult in 2019 four separate times.

Only one of those interviews was initially published in the Epstein files, and it didn't mention Trump at all.

Now, we do have some of those files, 16 pages covering three other interviews, plus a two-page sheet detailing the initial tip that was called in.

These interviews do go into more explicit detail about what Trump was alleged to have done to her when she was a teenager, forcing her head down onto his penis.

She allegedly bit it.

He said foul words and hit her head.

There's also an interview, which was the final one in 2019.

And this woman was asked whether she, quote, felt comfortable detailing her contacts with Trump.

And she reportedly asked, quote, what the point would be of providing this information at this point in her life when there was a strong possibility nothing could be done about it.

Remember, these interviews took place during Trump's first term in office.

We should also note here that Trump denies any wrongdoing related to Epstein and has not been charged with a crime.

The White House has repeatedly said that Trump is, quote, totally exonerated by the Epstein files.

The latest statement from White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt says that these are completely baseless accusations backed by zero credible evidence.

They also point on background the two different articles that claim to discredit the woman's accusations.

But we haven't verified those things.

In fact, Tam, looking at the release of these documents, it doesn't actually shine any more light on how credible federal investigators viewed these claims or how they were resolved or why these allegations were included in the Justice Department slide presentation summarizing the cases against Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

It's been a shifting story.
