Epstein Victim Who Was Allegedly Abused by Trump as a Minor Has Been ‘Living in Fear,’ New Report Says

In March, we reported that the Justice Department withheld—and released—a series of FBI interviews in which an alleged victim of Epstein’s, referred to in the Epstein Files as Jane Doe 4, accused Trump of sexually abusing her when she was 13 in 1983. On Tuesday, one of her relatives told the Guardian that she’s been living in fear amid rising scrutiny over her claims.

“Trauma is brutal. Chronic trauma destroys,” the source, who remained unnamed, said. According to her, the alleged victim is “staying off the grid,” and that “she’s coping as best as she can.” 

While details of the woman’s abuse were not originally part of the more than three million pages of Epstein files the Justice Department released in January, newer documents released in March included three of the FBI’s interviews with her involving the allegations, which she made in 2019. In one of them, labeled “Interview #2” and dated August 2019, she seemed to tell the FBI that Trump allegedly put her head “down to his penis” and she “bit the shit out of it.” She said that afterwards, Trump struck her and said “Words to the effect of ‘Get this little bitch the hell out of here.’”

The document added further detail to another file that was previously published by the DOJ in its big January dump, in which a woman told a FBI tip line that she was introduced to Trump by Epstein when she was 13, after which he “forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit.” It added that “in response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out.”

Through all this, the White House has maintained that her claims as “total baselessness.” But they’ve also said that Trump’s “done more for Epstein’s victims than anyone before him,” so… we’ll let you take of that what you must.

All this comes about a week after a federal judge on Thursday ordered Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to release unredacted versions of the Epstein files, including interview notes relating to the woman’s accusations. The judge’s move followed a lawsuit filed by Katie Phang, a lawyer and journalist, who sued Blanche in April for the DOJ’s failure to upload the files in full—having missed its original deadline to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, uploading heavily redacted files afterwards, and then dumping its three million pages. The latter was riddled with mistakes, and exposed the details and nude images of several Epstein survivors.  

And it seems that given the DOJ seemed to tap one of its attorneys, Stanley Woodward, to join the case as of Friday, the DOJ is not keen on uploading the rest of these files. Which, again, begs the question… how the fuck could all of this get even worse?
