Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessman and politician, president of the Trump Organization, the 45th President of the United States from 2017 to 2021 and the 47th from 2025.1 He is named in thousands of documents in the released Epstein records, in several distinct capacities: as a social acquaintance of Jeffrey Epstein in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s; as the owner of a club and of buildings that recur in the accounts witnesses gave the FBI; as a subject of Epstein’s own correspondence; as a name in sworn interviews given by victims and employees; and as the person around whom the FBI’s own August 2025 compilation of public tip-line complaints was built. He has never been charged in connection with the Epstein investigations; the 2016 civil action that named him as a defendant was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff four days before that year’s presidential election; and of the fifteen Trump-related rows in that tip-line table, twelve close on a failure to make contact, a finding of no credibility, a note of no probative information, or a note that the complainant had reached the wrong hotline.

This page sets out what the released documents say, in the order of what they are: sworn interviews and depositions first, then seized correspondence, then unverified intelligence and public tips, with the bureau’s own disposition of each recorded where the record gives it.

Method, and a correction the desk owes its readers

The release is searched here through the full-text index, by exact phrase, counting a document once however many of its pages match. The phrase "Donald Trump" reaches 2,898 documents: 2,013 under EFTA identifiers, 853 under HOUSE_OVERSIGHT, 28 under DOJ-OGR, and 4 under none of the three: sheets of the FBI’s own review and vault productions, and a loose named file. The surname alone, "Trump", reaches 8,833: 5,501 EFTA, 3,271 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT, 49 DOJ-OGR, 12 elsewhere. The splits are scoped by identifier prefix, never by dataset label. The surname is not used as a subject key on this page, because it also reaches other members of the family, the Trump Organization, Trump Tower, Trump Plaza, Trump Model Management and the golf properties.

Run against the 2,898 documents, the desk’s sender-field classifier returns 1 document with the key at the head of a sender field, 3 addressed-only, 270 header-less and authored, 37 header-less carrying press markers, 2,504 neither, and 83 declined as ambiguous. The single sender-field hit was read: it is an email inside the U.S. Attorney’s office of 17 July 2019 whose own sender, recipient and copy values are blacked out, and the match falls in a hyperlink URL in the body of the quoted message, whose slug carries the subject’s name.12 The true figure for the population is therefore 0 of 2,898. Only that one document of the 311 non-”neither” documents was read for this measurement; the other counts are the tool’s output and are not characterised here.

That number has been misread before, and the misreading is worth stating because it nearly cost this page its existence. A sender-field test measures whether someone writes email inside this corpus. Trump does not. What the record holds is other people’s acts: victims making statements to federal agents, agents writing them down, informants reporting to handlers, a bank’s compliance staff describing an account review, Epstein writing about him, and the bureau dispositioning what the public sent in. Every section below is anchored to a named institution, an act it took, and the document in which it recorded that act. The desk also, at one point, sampled the header-less bucket, saw newspaper clippings, and treated the bucket as press coverage, while FD-302 interview reports sat in the same sample. FD-302s are header-less because they are not emails. Neither error is repeated here.

Where a sheet is quoted, the page image was rendered locally and read; where a claim rests only on the text layer, the page says so. The extraction of this release is known to reorder transcript columns, to close the gap where a producing party has blacked out a line, and to print in the clear names that the image withholds. Nothing taken from a text layer alone is treated here as a statement about what a sheet prints.

Privacy

The victims and witnesses in these documents are almost all unnamed in the release, and none of them is named or described here. Where an FD-302 gives an age, a route, a family circumstance, an employer or a school, those details are left out, because in combination they identify a person even where no name is printed. Where a survivor has come forward publicly under her own name, this page still takes nothing from the files beyond what she has said in public. Third parties named in unverified public tips, who are accused of crimes in submissions the bureau did not corroborate, are not named either.

The relationship as the documents describe it

Maxwell’s account of how it started

Questioned over two days in July 2025 by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Ghislaine Maxwell put her own first contact with Trump no higher than a possibility, in 1990 and through her father: “I met — I may have met Donald Trump at that time, because my father was friendly with him and liked him very much.”13 She added that this was “before I met Mr. Epstein.”14 Asked later what she had observed of Trump’s relationship with Epstein, she said: “I don’t know how they met, and I don’t know how they became friends. I certainly saw them together and I remember the few times I observed them together, but they were friendly. I mean, they seemed friendly,” and that she believed she “only ever saw them in social settings.”15 Maxwell was serving a twenty-year sentence when she gave those answers and was seeking relief; the interview is covered separately at the DOJ examination of Ghislaine Maxwell.

2002: Trump’s own published description

The clearest documented statement by Trump about Epstein in the release is his own, quoted in Landon Thomas Jr.’s New York magazine profile of Epstein, “Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery,” carried in the production: “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”16 The article sets the remark against Epstein’s own self-presentation as a loner, and immediately after it turns to Epstein’s cultivation of Bill Clinton.16

The aircraft

Three men who flew or maintained Epstein’s aircraft were interviewed or deposed, and they do not say the same thing.

Epstein’s chief pilot Larry Visoski, interviewed by the FBI at its Palm Beach County office on 27 November 2006, gave an account that assumes Trump was a passenger: “As a practical joke, Epstein asked Visoski to purchase a box of condoms to place on Donald Trump’s seat after he found out Trump’s girlfriend was pregnant.”2 The sentence sits immediately after a denial that Visoski had witnessed anything of a sexual nature by Epstein, and immediately before a note that the primary item Epstein asked to have aboard the aircraft was Evian water.2 Visoski later testified at Maxwell’s trial. See Larry Visoski.

Epstein’s other pilot, David Rodgers, spent a February 2020 interview walking FBI agents through his flight logs. One entry names Trump: “January 5, 1997 - Flight 934” with “Passengers included EPSTEIN, MAXWELL, DONALD TRUMP, MARK EPSTEIN, DIDIER who was a chef.” The origin and destination of that flight are blacked out on the sheet.17

Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, was deposed on 21 September 2009. Asked whether he had ever met Donald Trump he answered “Yes”; asked whether it was through his brother, “Yes”; and asked where: “We flew up on my brother’s plane from Florida together. Donald was on the plane.” He put the date “somewhere between 5 and 10 years ago … It’s either late ‘90’s early 2000. Probably more like late ‘90’s,” said it was the only time he had met Trump, and listed the passengers as “my brother, myself, Donald, the pilot the co-pilot.”18 See Mark Epstein.

Larry Eugene Morrison, deposed on 6 October 2009 about the aircraft’s maintenance, answered “Yes” when asked whether he had ever met Trump and explained: “He boarded the airplane one day when ours was on the ramp,” adding that they had only introduced themselves. Pressed on whether anyone giving other testimony would be “mistaken or lying,” Morrison answered: “Donald Trump was never on the airplane when I was on the airplane.”19 That is a statement about the flights Morrison was aboard and not about the aircraft’s passenger history.

A massage therapist who worked for Epstein for about six years from roughly 1993, interviewed on 12 August 2020, listed the people other than Epstein she had worked on. The list ends: “MAXWELL (perhaps only two times), [blacked out], PRINCE ANDREW (most recently at the New York house) and DONALD TRUMP (massaged his feet on the plane from Palm Beach to New York).”20 She told agents she did not recall “anything weird or odd” about her relationship with Epstein.20

The houses, the club and the office

Adam Perry Lang, Epstein’s private chef from about 1998 to 2002, was interviewed by video conference on 25 September 2020 with his lawyers present. Asked about guests, he named Prince Andrew at length and then said, in a single sentence: “DONALD TRUMP came for dinner one night.”21 Perry Lang told agents he had neither had nor overheard conversations about young women, about Epstein’s sexual preferences, or about the massages.21

A former household employee of Epstein’s, interviewed in Florida on 19 February 2020, gave agents a list of visitors: he “recalled seeing many different people at EPSTEIN’s home, including senators, PRINCE ANDREW, DONALD TRUMP, ROBERT KENNEDY, mathematicians, and many others.”22

Richard Barnett, who told the FBI on 29 July 2019 that he had been Epstein’s chief engineer for eighteen years, described how he got the job: “BARNETT stated that he applied for the TRUMP organization for a chief engineer job and was referred to EPSTEIN for and up and coming project at 71st street, the largest home in New York City. BARNETT stated that he met MAXWELL at the Trump Organization and via MAXWELL, BARNETT got the job with EPSTEIN.”23 That places Maxwell at the Trump Organization’s offices in the mid-1990s and makes the Trump Organization the route by which Epstein’s 71st Street house acquired its engineer. Barnett told agents that in eighteen years he never saw anything bearing on the charges against Epstein.23

A woman who told the bureau’s tip line on 10 September 2019 that she had been hired as a receptionist in Epstein’s New York office around 1999 or 2000 said she “remembers the identity of some of the individuals in contact with Epstein, including Donald Trump’s office, and the Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson.”24 The record here is of contact with an office, not with a person.

A witness told the FBI in January 2008 that another woman “had shown her an orange colored book where EPSTEIN maintained famous peoples’ phone numbers,” and that “BILL CLINTON and DONALD TRUMPs’ telephone numbers were in the book as well as many others.”25 A separate witness, interviewed in April 2019, said she knew Epstein “knew DONALD TRUMP, because he went to a function that TRUMP was holding and told [her] that he would have taken her if she was 18.”26 That sentence records what Epstein said to her; it is not a statement about Trump’s conduct.

Mar-a-Lago appears in the file chiefly as a place. The single most reproduced narrative in the whole production, a witness approached by Maxwell while working at the club, names Trump only as its owner: “In approximately June 1998 or 1999, [she] began working at Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida.”27 A separate interview summary from July 2019 records a group being taken to Mar-a-Lago to “shake hands with President Donald Trump and his wife Melania and with Regis Philbin and his wife, as well.”28

A proffer taken on 12 July 2019 from a woman who had been recruited into modelling in Europe contains, in a paragraph about the model agent Paolo Zempoli and an attempt to buy Elite Models, the bare sentence: “EPSTEIN introduced MELANIA TRUMP to DONALD TRUMP.”29 The document does not say how the person being interviewed knew this.

A name used as reassurance

One passage in the release describes what Trump’s presence at Epstein’s house did to a person deciding whether Epstein was safe. An FD-302 of an interview conducted on 5 February 2020 records someone being told that famous people went to Epstein’s house. The sentence that follows reads: “[blacked out] heard that a prince and DONALD TRUMP visited EPSTEIN’s house and this made [blacked out] think that if they are there then how could EPSTEIN be a criminal.”30 Both referents in that sentence are redaction bars on the sheet, and neither is supplied here.

The sentence was read at the image at 400 dpi. It is a documented fact that the FBI recorded this in an interview report. What it records is the use of reputation as cover: the same mechanism the record shows Maxwell reaching for when she named a neighbour to a new arrival in Palm Beach, and the same mechanism behind Epstein telling victims whom he had on the telephone.

Epstein on the telephone: three passages from victim interviews

Three sentences in FD-302 victim interviews describe Epstein on the phone with Trump, or invoking his name. They carry no allegation against Trump. They are set out here because they are documented facts about what witnesses told federal agents, and because they bear on how Epstein used proximity to powerful men.

A call during a massage. In an interview conducted on 6 August 2019 and recorded as Serial 304 of the New York case file, a woman described a series of massage sessions at Epstein’s Manhattan house that she said began when she was a minor and that involved sexual acts. On the third of the four sheets, in a paragraph of recollections that also includes meeting Naomi Campbell, the report reads:

During one of the massages, EPSTEIN was on the phone with DONALD TRUMP.31

The sentence was read at the image at 600 dpi. The report does not date the call, does not say how old the interviewee was when it happened, and makes no allegation about Trump. What it documents is that a victim told the FBI that Epstein took a call from Trump while she was present during one of the sessions she was describing. The interviewee’s name is blacked out at every occurrence on the sheet.31

“Always on the phone.” A victim interviewed on 4 November 2020 described Epstein’s habit of dropping names: that he would tell her he would get her into Victoria’s Secret because he knew Naomi Campbell, that he introduced her to Campbell in his office, that he may have been speaking to Mike Tyson on speakerphone in her hearing. The next sentence reads:

EPSTEIN was always on the phone with others including, BILL CLINTON and DONALD TRUMP.32

That was read at the image at 600 dpi and confirmed in a second copy of the same report in the production.33 Again this is an account of Epstein’s behaviour. It documents that a victim told the bureau Epstein used the names of Bill Clinton and Trump in that way; it does not document the calls.

Maxwell’s neighbour. In an interview conducted on 27 August 2019 and recorded as Serial 315, a woman described arriving at Epstein’s Palm Beach house for the first time. The report reads:

MAXWELL told [her] that DONALD TRUMP was their neighbor. MAXWELL told [her], “My partner Jeffrey is a Ralph Lauren type, do you like that?”. MAXWELL also said, “Do whatever he likes and you’ll be fine”.34

Read at the image at 600 dpi. The “he” in Maxwell’s last sentence is Epstein. The preceding sentence introduces him as “My partner Jeffrey,” and the two sheets of this report describe what Epstein then did. Trump is named once in the document and in no other connection. What the passage records is Maxwell naming a neighbour as she brought a new arrival into the house.

The FD-302 for Serial 315 is dated 27 August 2019 as the interview date, 27 September 2019 as the drafting date and 23 October 2019 as the date of entry. Accounts that date this interview to September have taken the drafting date.34

Introductions Maxwell made

Four victims, each of whom told agents she was an adult at the time, described Maxwell introducing her to Trump. None alleges misconduct by Trump. One says in terms that nothing happened. The significance the interviews themselves draw out is the method.

The fullest account is in an interview of 27 July 2021 recorded as Serial 631. The relevant paragraph opens mid-sentence, because the preceding sheet of the report is blacked out in its entirety by the producing party, and it begins “[blacked out] never dated DONALD TRUMP.” It continues:

MAXWELL took [her] to a party in New York. MAXWELL seemed very excited that there would be a lot of great men for [her] to meet. [She] felt that MAXWELL presented her and gave a run down of [her] accolades, similar to a CV. MAXWELL presented [her] to TRUMP and they had a conversation for approximately 20 minutes. [She] was invited to MAR-A-LAGO where she was given a tour by TRUMP with EPSTEIN and MAXWELL present. Nothing happened between [her] and TRUMP. By the things that MAXWELL said, it was made clear that [she] was available. MAXWELL said things like, “Oh I think he likes you. Aren’t you lucky. This is great.”35

The paragraph ends: “MAXWELL said things like, ‘Oh he’ll like that. He doesn’t like that.’ It was set up very much like how MAXWELL introduced [her] to EPSTEIN.”35 The witness put her own age at the time at around 22.35 The same sheet describes Maxwell introducing her to two other men, both blacked out, and closes with her description of Maxwell as “an extremely dangerous person.”35 Read at the image at 400 dpi.

Three shorter passages record the same kind of moment. A witness interviewed on 19 September 2019 “recalled meeting TRUMP at a party while with MAXWELL. MAXWELL told TRUMP, ‘This is who I was telling you about’.”36 A witness interviewed on 27 August 2019 said “EPSTEIN and MAXWELL introduced [her] to DONALD TRUMP. TRUMP was polite to [her],” and that she “was approximately 20-22 years old.”37 A witness interviewed on 2 September 2021, recorded as Serial 632, placed an introduction in a chronology: “Prior to all of this is when MAXWELL introduced [her] to TRUMP in New York.”38

In all four, Trump’s part in what the witness describes begins and ends with a conversation at a party or a tour of a club. The accounts of abuse in the same documents are about Epstein and Maxwell.

Allegations in the file that involve minors

Four allegations about Trump and a minor reached the FBI’s possession in the records cited here, in four different forms. The differences between the forms matter more than the overlap between the accounts.

A second-hand account, Serial 636. In an interview of 2 September 2021, a witness relayed what a woman he knew had told him: “[She] tells [him] that she met DONALD TRUMP when she was with EPSTEIN when she was about 15 years old. EPSTEIN says to TRUMP ‘Oh she’s a good one right’ to which TRUMP responded ‘Yeah’. This happened at Mar-A-Lago. [She] says that TRUMP was a regular visitor at EPSTEIN’s.”39 This is a witness’s account of another person’s account. The person whose account it is was not the interviewee, and the document records no interview of her on this point.

A civil complaint held in the case file. A ten-page complaint filed in the Southern District of New York against Ghislaine Maxwell and the executors of Epstein’s estate, in which Trump is not a defendant, contains at paragraph 17: “During one of Doe’s encounters with Epstein, he took her to Mar-a-Lago where he introduced her to its owner, Donald J. Trump. Introducing 14-year-old Doe to Donald J. Trump, Epstein elbowed Trump playfully asking him, referring to Doe, ‘This is a good one, right?’ Trump smiled and nodded in agreement.”40 A civil complaint is a pleading, not testimony. Its presence in the FBI’s file records that the bureau held the document; it records nothing about whether the allegation was tested.

An FBI briefing slide. An internal FBI presentation deck on the four Epstein case files, prepared after 22 July 2025, carries a slide headed “PROMINENT NAMES” listing allegations against public figures drawn from the case material. The Trump section has two numbered entries. The first describes a complainant’s account of a forced sexual act, a bite, and a blow to the head; the second reads that the complainant “remember Epstein introduced her to Trump saying ‘This is a good one, huh’ and Trump responded ‘Yes’.” Both complainants’ names are blacked out on the image, as are both parentheticals’ names.41

Read at 600 dpi across all three columns of the slide, the first Trump entry is the only entry anywhere on the slide that carries a single asterisk. The slide’s footnotes read, in full: “Numerous anonymous NTOC’s were received with allegations against prominent individuals.” and ”* Criminal history”. The only double asterisk on the slide attaches to one named witness in the Prince Andrew section.41 The deck does not state in words which entries its single asterisk covers. What the sheet shows is that the marker is unique to that entry and that the legend beneath it refers to anonymous tip-line submissions. The section below on the four interviews of one witness qualifies what that marker can be taken to mean.

The same deck records the scale of the tip-line material: of the New York investigation opened on 6 December 2018, it states “291 National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) tips,” of which “52 anonymous,” that the “FBI followed up on 239 and 27 resulted in secondary contact,” and that there were “93 identified victims”.42 A later slide headed “MISCONCEPTIONS” states that “[b]ased on review of evidence and victim statements, no orgies or threesomes took place which involved 2 males,” that “[v]ictims were not held captive,” and that “Epstein did not regularly prostitute the victims in exchange for money.”43

The 2016 civil action. In September 2016 an anonymous plaintiff filed a complaint in the Southern District of New York against Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein alleging rape and related claims said to have taken place when she was thirteen. The complaint itself reached the FBI’s case file only as an image inside a social-media capture: the bureau’s tip-line monitoring saved tweets from political accounts republishing the first page of the filing, and one of those captures is what the release contains.44 The action did not proceed. On 4 November 2016 at 5:59 p.m., four days before the presidential election, plaintiff’s counsel filed a notice of voluntary dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) “against the defendant(s) All Defendants.”45

Epstein forwarded the electronic docket notice of that dismissal to a correspondent at 6:24 p.m. the same evening.45 The reply, sent at 10:58:54 p.m., carries the subject line “Re: told you , the case ws a fake” and no readable body text beyond “Sent from my iPhone”.45 Read at the image at 400 dpi. The subject line is the reply’s, carried from the message it answers, which is Epstein’s forward.

A denial recorded in a victim interview. On 27 February 2020 agents put a Trump allegation directly to a victim they were interviewing. The report records: “[She] was asked about if she was aware of a DONALD TRUMP allegation of sexual abuse. [She] stated no. There was some [blacked out] saying that she was a victim of TRUMP but this was not true.”46 The FBI asked; the witness denied it.

Beside all of these stands a sworn statement by the lawyer who did more than anyone to build the civil cases. In an affidavit dated 23 April 2010 and filed in the Jane Doe litigation, Bradley J. Edwards swore: “While research by other plaintiffs’ attorneys and myself has uncovered other persons that were acquaintances of Mr. Epstein, specifically Donald Trump, Alan Dershowitz, Bill Clinton, Tommy Mottola, and David Copperfield, we have no information that any of those people (other than Mr. Dershowitz) have spoken to Mr. Epstein about Jane Doe or any of the other specific victims of Mr. Epstein’s molestation.”47 The exception Edwards draws is for Alan Dershowitz, whom he identifies as Epstein’s lawyer.47 See Brad Edwards.

And in July 2025 Maxwell, asked directly by the Deputy Attorney General, gave the most categorical answer about Trump quoted on this page:

I actually never saw the President in any type of massage setting. I never witnessed the President in any inappropriate setting in any way. The President was never inappropriate with anybody. In the times that I was with him, he was a gentleman in all respects.7

Asked whether she had “ever hear[d] Mr. Epstein or anybody say that President Trump had done anything inappropriate with masseuses or with anybody in your world,” she answered: “Absolutely never, in any context.”48 Seven lines further down the same page, Blanche asked, from her personal knowledge rather than from what she had read, whether masseuses from Mar-a-Lago’s spa “ended up giving massages to — private massages to Mr. Epstein?” She answered: “I — I don’t — I don’t recall. Is it possible? Yes. But I don’t remember — I don’t remember that. So I don’t want to — I don’t recall that, but it’s possible.”48 The categorical denial and that equivocation are on the same sheet. She put the last time she saw Trump in person at “sometime in the — beginning — mid — mid 2000s maybe,” and “only … a social setting, as far as I recall.”48 On the 2003 birthday book that has been the subject of press attention, she said she did not remember asking Trump for a letter, and that in her own criminal discovery “there was nothing from President Trump.”4950 Asked whether someone else might have made the request, she added: “So it could have happened that way, if it happened at all.”50 The page images for this production are not served through the site’s viewer; they were fetched read-only from the copy on the site’s own server, and every passage quoted here was read at the image.

The four interviews of one witness, and the records that were withheld and then published

The gravest allegation about Trump on this page comes from a single witness whom the FBI interviewed four times in 2019. For a period the public production contained only the first of the four reports, and the gap was the subject of a documented act of withholding and a documented reversal.

On 24 February 2026, NPR reported that the Justice Department had removed or withheld Epstein files relating to accusations about Trump, and CNN reported that dozens of FBI records, including interviews of a Trump accuser, appeared to be missing from the release.5152 Both reported that the FBI had interviewed this witness four times and that only the first interview, of 24 July 2019, was in the public database.5152 On 5 March 2026 the Department published the three remaining interview summaries.1053

All four reports are now in the release, and this page cites all four. The sequence is the finding: an institution withheld three reports, the withholding was measured from the outside by journalists working from serial numbers, and the institution then produced them. What an institution will not release, and what it releases once the gap is named, are both facts about the institution.

The four reports

Each of the four is an FD-302 on its face, each carries file number 31E-NY-3027571, and each prints a Bates number in the series 3501.045 in its own footer:

BatesInterview date on the sheetSerialIdentifier
3501.045-00124 July 2019216EFTA01245620
3501.045-0037 August 2019252EFTA02858481
3501.045-00520 August 2019264EFTA02858491
3501.045-00716 October 2019312EFTA02858495

The rule behind the table: for each odd number in the Bates series, the full-text index was searched for the Bates string in both its hyphenated and its space-separated form, and a document was taken to be that item when its own printed footer carries the number. Each of the four resolved to exactly one document.54555611 The last of them, drafted on 21 October 2019, calls itself “the fourth interview” in terms, which fixes the count from inside the record rather than from an index.11

This page makes no claim about the interview notes that accompany such reports. A handwritten note carries no text layer, so a search that looks for a printed Bates string cannot reach one, and an absence found that way would be a fact about the search.

What the four reports say

The first, of 24 July 2019, is the one that records the photograph. The witness had been sent an image and asked to crop it before letting the agents photograph it:

[Administrative Note: [She] agreed to allow the Agents to take a photograph of the cropped image (attached electronically as a 1A attachment). Of note, the particular image sent to her by [blacked out] was recognized by Agents as a widely distributed photograph of JEFFREY EPSTEIN and current United States President DONALD TRUMP. The cropped image [she] provided to the Agents only included JEFFREY EPSTEIN.]57

The sheet also records that when she hesitated, her attorney “advised [she] was concerned about implicating additional individuals, and specifically any that were well known, due to fear of retaliation,” and that the attorney had “offhandedly mentioned the word ‘President’” while looking at the image on her phone.57 She identified the man she had cropped the photograph around, Epstein, as her abuser.57

The third report, of 20 August 2019, records the agents asking her for further detail about a first encounter with Trump which she placed at around the age of thirteen to fifteen and in Epstein’s company, and records her clarifying an earlier account of Trump striking her.56 The fourth, of 16 October 2019, states the allegation plainly and in the bureau’s own summary form:

[She] previously mentioned she had sexual contact with (current U.S. President) DONALD TRUMP while she was a minor. She previously explained the contact was facilitated through her association with EPSTEIN.11

Read at the image at 400 dpi. The same sheet records that she asked the agents “what’s the point?”, being aware that the limitation period on any federal offence may have run, and that the agents answered “that all victims of crime should have the opportunity to tell their story”.11

This is a credible allegation, and it is the best-supported one on this page: a witness, interviewed four times by federal agents over three months, whose account the bureau recorded, tested across interviews and asked her to expand. It is not a finding. No charge followed it; no adjudication of it is recorded on this page; and no statement by Trump answering it is recorded here. The Justice Department’s January 2026 statement about “untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump” addressed material submitted to the FBI before the 2020 election and does not name this witness or these reports.58

What this does to the asterisk on the briefing slide

The FBI briefing deck’s first Trump entry describes this account. The deck marks that entry with a single asterisk whose legend refers to anonymous tip-line submissions.41 The account also entered the bureau through the tip line: the first Trump-related row of the August 2025 NTOC table is a caller relaying a friend’s account of the same events, and its disposition reads “Spoke with caller who identified [blacked out] as friend. Lead was sent to Washington Office to conduct interview.”59 So the tip line and the four interviews reach the same allegation from two directions, and the marker on the slide does not mean the allegation rests only on an anonymous submission. The deck is a bullet list, and a bullet list is a poor guide to what a case file holds.

The witness who called back

A woman interviewed by telephone on 19 June 2020, recorded as Serial 551, told the FBI that in the early 1990s, while studying at lunchtime in the public area of Trump Tower, two men approached her. One “asked her if she knew who DONALD TRUMP was and told her he was meeting people that day … The man asked her if she wanted to meet TRUMP and told her that she did not need to work so hard to go to school. The man winked and said he could do whatever she liked.” She told agents she “felt that it was clear that sex was on the table even though the man never mentioned sex,” and that she “felt these men were playing the role of recruiters for TRUMP.”60 The alternative the man offered was a party, and she told agents “the invitation had JEFFREY EPSTEIN’s address on it.” She did not go.60

She then said: “she received death threats when she did not want to go meet TRUMP. The threats consisted of the men saying that they knew where she worked and could find her.” She said she never told the police “because she did not think they would believe her,” and that she “never saw any females meet with TRUMP.”60

On 15 October 2020 she contacted the case agent again, in a call recorded as Serial 556. That one-page report records that she “wanted to know why nothing was being done in regards to the information she provided about DONALD TRUMP,” that she “had a friend in Florida who used to see JEFFREY EPSTEIN and DONALD TRUMP together all of the time,” and that she “stated TRUMP was actively recruiting girls, whether it was for him or EPSTEIN she did not know.”61 The same page records the agent testing her sourcing twice. Asked how she knew there were videos found in Epstein’s home, she “advised that she had read about it”; asked how she knew the rest, she “responded that she had seen the documentaries around EPSTEIN and that is how she knew this information.”61 The report ends there; the release contains no record of further investigative action on it.

That is the shape of the document: a first-hand account of an approach and a threat in 1990 or 1991, and a set of conclusions about Trump that the witness herself attributed to documentaries.

Confidential human source reporting

Two FD-1023 reports mention Trump. The FD-1023 is the form on which the FBI records what a confidential human source has said; it is unsworn and unverified. Only the 2017 report is classified: SECRET//NOFORN at the head and foot of both its sheets, paragraphs portion-marked (S//NF). The 2020 report is UNCLASSIFIED throughout, every paragraph marked (U).6263

On 27 November 2017 two agents of the FBI’s New York field office met a source “with whom the FBI has recently established a relationship.” Among the things the source reported: “Epstein knew former President Bill Clinton, and was very close to current President Donald Trump. In the spring of 2015, President Trump had just been to Epstein’s property for lunch.”62 In the same report the source also said Epstein “had a compound in New Mexico where he lured and video recorded underage women,” that Epstein was “President Vladimir Putin’s wealth manager, and provided the same service for Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe,” and described an Italian zero-day developer as “Epstein’s personal hacker.”62 The relationship with the source was new and its reliability unassessed on the face of the document, and the Putin and Mugabe claims are extraordinary and uncorroborated anywhere in the release. The spring 2015 lunch, if it happened, would fall between Epstein’s release from custody and Trump’s campaign announcement; the record for it is one sentence from one unvetted source.

A second source, handled by the Los Angeles field office and reporting on 16 October 2020 through an encrypted messaging app, gave a long account of alleged foreign influence over U.S. officials. It includes: “CHS advised Chabad is doing everything they can to co-opt the Trump presidency”; that on the day Trump was elected “Ivanka Trump (Ivanka) and Jared were at the gravesite of Rabbi Scheersom”; and the source’s conclusion “that this was a real collusion story - Trump has been compromised by Israel, and Kushner is the real brains behind his organization and his Presidency.”63 The report’s own synopsis is “Foreign influence on U.S. officials by Israel, Russia, and UAE”.63 The report does not state the next claim in its own voice: it prints “According to Jed Shugerman and Whitney Webb, Leon Black (Black) owns the mercenary firm formerly known as Blackwater, now Constellis”. That claim is not correct, and the report’s carrying it on unchecked bears on how much weight the rest of it can carry.63 The release records no investigative action following from either report.

The Fifth Amendment deposition

On 17 March 2010 Epstein was deposed on video in West Palm Beach in a suit he had himself brought, Jeffrey Epstein v. Scott Rothstein, Bradley J. Edwards and L.M., in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit for Palm Beach County.64 Counsel for the defence, Jack Scarola, put a series of questions about the people Epstein’s own complaint had named. The exchange on Trump, at transcript page 89, lines 11 to 23, reads:

Q. Have you ever had a personal relationship with Donald Trump? A. What do you mean by “personal relationship,” sir? Q. Have you socialized with him? A. Yes, sir. Q. Yes? A. Yes, sir. Q. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18? A. Though I’d like to answer that question, at least today I’m going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth and 14th Amendment Right, sir.3

Read at the image at 400 dpi. Two points of context belong beside it. The question immediately before concerned whether a flight log for a private jet used by Epstein contained “the names of celebrities, dignitaries or International figures,” and Epstein declined that on the same grounds.3 And Epstein asserted the same three Amendments, in different words each time and through an objection from his own counsel, when the same question about the presence of females under 18 was put to him about Alan Dershowitz and about Tommy Mottola, telling Scarola that the names were in the case only because his own lawyers had put them in his complaint “as a reaction to the abusive discovery process.”3 An invocation of the privilege is a refusal to answer. It is not an answer, and it is not evidence of the fact the question assumed. What it documents is that Epstein, on advice, would confirm socialising with Trump and would not say whether minors had been present.

Epstein writing about Trump

The sender-field measurement set out in the Method section above returns no document in this corpus in which Trump is the sender. Epstein writes about him repeatedly.

April 2011. Two years after Epstein’s release from the Palm Beach County jail, he wrote to the address “Gmax”:

i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump. [blacked out] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75 % there4

One rectangular redaction bar, drawn across the height of both lines, stands between “trump.” and “spent hours” and again after “im 75 % there”; it is reproduced above at its first position only, because it is one mark and not two.4 The subject of “spent hours at my house with him” is the blacked-out person, not Trump, and nothing here reads through that bar to say who it was. The reply, timestamped later the same day, reads in full: “I have been thinking about that…”4 The message header at the top of the sheet and the header of the quoted original carry different clock values and neither prints a time zone, so no interval between them is computed here.4 The allusion is to the Conan Doyle story in which a dog’s silence is the evidence; what Epstein is noting is an absence, and the absence he names is Trump’s: that he “has never once been mentioned.” “Police chief” is unexplained on the sheet, and “im 75 % there” does not say what he was 75 per cent of the way toward.

September 2017. In a fast-moving thread with a Gulf correspondent whose name is blacked out, the correspondent wrote “things look very bad in the gulf .. my feeling trump do not want to end it,” and later “tam just called mbs .. he want to sit and talk . breakthrough”. Epstein answered on 9 September at 4:30 a.m.: “I think trump cut the legs off your guy . He would like to take all the credit . If there is a deal or be seen to be strong on terror”.5 The exchange is eight years after Epstein’s conviction and while Trump was in office.

November 2017. Epstein wrote to a staff member on 16 November: “at the moment we will go to lsh on sunday the 26th early then to new york where i will stay the week, larry , it will be assayay and I , trump is in town that week”.65 Four days later Visoski wrote to him: “While Trump is in PBI, TSA only allows arrival and departures between 8am and 5pm for General Aviation,” and set out the booking that followed.6 Presidential movements close airspace; the correspondence shows Epstein’s flight operation planning around them.

March 2018. In an exchange with his brother, Epstein wrote “All good. Bannon with me”; his brother replied “Ask him if Putin has the photos of Trump blow=ng Bubba?” and, two days later, “You and your boy Donnie can make a remake of the m=vie Get Hard.” Epstein answered: “you mean DONNI TEE”.66 The = characters are quoted-printable damage carried onto the face of the sheet and are reproduced unrepaired. See Steve Bannon.

Deutsche Bank

Two compliance staff at Deutsche Bank were interviewed by the FBI in 2019 about the bank’s handling of Epstein, and both volunteered Trump.

Cherie Quigley, interviewed on 10 October 2019, was describing what the bank had and had not done about Epstein, including that “DEUTSCHE recently tried to terminate the EPSTEIN relationship before details hit the papers” and that “maybe a SAR should have been filed on EPSTEIN.” The report then records: “QUIGLEY also noted DONALD TRUMP (TRUMP) became a covered client, which meant special access was required to view the profile. QUIGLEY had to review all relationships to TRUMP.”67

Tammy Hill-McFadden, interviewed on 12 July 2019, described raising concerns about Epstein’s accounts in 2015 and being told “EPSTEIN served his time and the accounts were not closed at that time.” The same report records: “HILL-MCFADDEN also reviewed TRUMP’S old post office portfolio cases. Since the DEUTSCHE systems did not talk to each other, she was unable to determine a sound origin of the funds. The funds were being pulled from one spot and moved to another for payments.”68 She told agents she had filed complaints against the bank with OSHA, FINRA and the SEC.68

These are statements by bank employees about how the bank treated two of its own clients. They record a compliance posture of restricted access, a review of related relationships and an unresolved source-of-funds question, and nothing about any dealing between the two clients.

The tip line, and what the bureau did with it

On 6 and 7 August 2025, staff of the FBI’s New York Field Office circulated by email a table of complaints received through the National Threat Operations Center, the bureau’s public tip line. One covering message calls it “This is the list I sent Whitney with names of Trump accusers from NTOC”; the sheet prints no mark at the end of that line.8 Another says: “See below. Yellow highlighting is for the salacious piece. I removed one name … because the reporter made no specific allegations.”69 The message that first transmitted the table carries the note: “Note: Some of these individuals are reporting second-hand information.”69 A recipient replies: “Was there anything in the file re follow up with the below individuals? 302s, etc?”70

The chain contains the same table twice. The first version has columns headed “Name,” “Complaint Summary,” “Response” and “Criminal History”;59 the second has “Name,” “Complaint Summary” and “Notable Names”.69 The “Name” column is blacked out throughout.5969 Counting the second version’s 18 summary rows at the image, and counting a row as Trump-related when its “Notable Names” cell prints “Donald Trump,” 15 of the 18 are Trump-related.698 The rows highlighted yellow, which a covering message calls “the salacious piece,” include most of the Trump rows.

The complaints are unverified submissions from members of the public. They range from a caller relaying a friend’s account of guests at Epstein’s parties, to accounts of being approached at Trump properties, to claims of mass abuse at named venues, to accounts involving murder, buried bodies and unproduceable recordings. This page does not reproduce their substance. What it reports is the bureau’s own disposition, which is the part of the document that is a record of an institution acting.

Across the Trump-related rows the “Response” column reads, in the bureau’s own words:

Complaint, by classFBI response
A friend of the complainant, said to have been about 13 or 14, forced to perform a sexual act in New Jersey”Spoke with caller who identified [blacked out] as friend. Lead was sent to Washington Office to conduct interview.”
A friend who had worked for Epstein in Florida and named party guests”2 voicemails left, no response received.”
Parties attended at 16 while modelling, and “big orgy parties”the Response cell is empty
A trafficking ring at a Trump golf course in California, 1995–96 and, in a second summary row sharing one merged Response cell with it, a claim to hold video of high-profile sex parties”Complainant was spoken to and deemed not credible.”
Claimed films of prominent men, via a would-be author”no probative information”
A party on Palm Beach Island and an invitation onward to Mar-a-Lago”Spoken with twice. First time said she was a pilates instructor and went to Epstein’s once. Second time, called the royal family was contacting her about image of Prince Andrews and Guiffre. Claimed she would send email to corroborate - no email received.”
A limousine driver’s recollection of a 1995 fare”Voicemail left, no response”
A caller referencing Trump among other public figures”no contact made lives in Australia- CALLED SDNY HOTLINE not NTOC”
A reference to a prior civil case involving Trump and Epstein”no contact made - CALLED SDNY HOTLINE not NTOC”
A 1984 account involving a newborn”no contact made.”
A caller taken by boat to Epstein’s islandno contact made; the bureau recorded earlier tips from the same complainant
A 1987 account at Trump Plaza relayed on behalf of a friend”No contact made, victim identified is deceased and complainant did not have confirmed information”
A party in 2004 or 2005 at which women were said to be auctioned”Phone number provided was bad, could not identify a valid number”
Anonymous first-person account of child abuse at Mar-a-Lago naming many public figures”No contact information provided”

Fourteen entries for fifteen rows: two adjacent summary rows share one merged Response cell, which is itself a finding, because it means the golf-course complaint and the claim to hold video came from the same complainant. All fifteen rows were read at the image at 500 dpi, and each response cell was bound to its row there. That binding cannot be done from the text layer, which interleaves a table’s columns.95970

One complaint generated an investigative lead: the New Jersey account, forwarded to the Washington Field Office for interview. One complainant was spoken to twice. One was assessed and “deemed not credible.” One was recorded as carrying “no probative information”. Two were noted as having reached the wrong hotline. One Response cell is empty. The remaining seven close on a failure to reach anyone: “2 voicemails left, no response received,” “Voicemail left, no response,” “no contact made,” “No contact made, victim identified is deceased,” “Phone number provided was bad,” or “No contact information provided”. The last of them, the account naming the largest number of public figures, including three of Trump’s children, is the entry the pages for Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump also describe, and it closes on “No contact information provided”.98

Publishing the release that contains the table on 30 January 2026, the Justice Department stated: “This production may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents or videos, as everything that was sent to the FBI by the public was included in the production that is responsive to the Act.” The same statement said: “Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”58 That is a statement by the Department about the production, and the only response in the released record addressed to this material.

Two individual tip records in the release can be matched to rows in the table. An FBI Crisis Intake record of a call on 9 October 2020 describes the caller being taken to a party at a Palm Beach house she believed to be Epstein’s, and being told at that party that “Donald Trump had invited them all to a party at Mar a Lago”; when she said she wanted to go, her companion told her “it wasn’t that kind of party, it was for prostitutes.”71 An intake record of 29 July 2019 describes a caller who said she had modelled in New York between 2002 and 2006, was taken to Epstein’s mansion, declined to give him a massage, and that “Epstein then called Trump and had a conversation with him while he was on the massage table,” and that Epstein told her “he managed Trump’s, Bill Gate’s and Victoria Secret’s money. However, [she] does not know if this is true.”72 The caller said she was given money although she gave no massage, and said she later met Trump and his wife at an after-party.72 Both are unverified public submissions, and the second contains a claim about Epstein’s business that is not true.

The volume and the dispositions together are enough material for a page of their own; a daughter page on the NTOC record is the obvious next step and is recorded in the handoff for this page.

What Trump has said

The release does not contain a statement given by Trump to any investigator. It carries his own published words twice.

The 2002 New York magazine remark is set out above.16 After Epstein’s arrest in July 2019, a New York Times column circulated inside the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York quotes him differently: “I had a falling-out with him. I haven’t spoken to him in 15 years. I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you”.73 The column juxtaposes the two quotations, as this page does; the earlier is Trump speaking to a magazine in 2002 and the later is the Times reporting him in 2019.

No response by Trump to any of the FD-302 passages on this page is recorded in the release, and none is recorded on this page. The Department of Justice statement of 30 January 2026 addresses the tip-line material and does not address the interview reports.58

Claims that do not survive

Several widely circulated claims about Trump and the Epstein files are false, and a page that leaves them standing has not done its work.

Images said to come from the files. In early 2026 an image circulated showing Trump with young girls kneeling before him. Snopes reported that the image was generated with artificial intelligence and that it does not appear in the Epstein case files published by the Justice Department; one post carrying it passed a million views.74 A second image, captioned “7/7/97” and said to show Trump beside Epstein with a young female and a group of children, was rated fake by Snopes on the sheet’s own evidence: Trump and three of the children have too few or too many fingers, or hands and faces without detail; one child’s nose blends unnaturally into its face; and Epstein’s hair is dark where agency photographs taken weeks earlier that summer show it grey. Reverse image searches found no trace of the picture online before the Justice Department’s release of 30 January 2026, and searches of its parts found no authentic photograph behind any of them.75 A poster attributed it to a document in that release, EFTA01660679, the FBI tip-line email chain cited above; Snopes records that that document contains no images.75 Neither image is in the production.

The flight logs. Trump’s name appears in the FD-302 in which pilot David Rodgers walked agents through the logs, at a single entry for 5 January 1997.17 The claim that he “does not appear in the flight logs at all” and the claim that he was a frequent passenger are both wrong against that document, and the deposition of the maintenance witness, whose answer was “Donald Trump was never on the airplane when I was on the airplane,” is a statement about the flights that witness was aboard.19

The “prominent names” slide as testimony. The slide is a bullet list on a briefing deck. It is not an FBI finding, and the deck records no assessment of any entry on it. Its first Trump entry is the only entry on the slide carrying the marker whose legend refers to anonymous tip-line submissions.41 As set out above, the account behind that entry is also the subject of four FD-302 interviews of an identified witness, so the marker is not a statement that the allegation rests on an anonymous submission alone.5611

Three FBI interview reports “missing” from the release. They were withheld, they were reported missing in February 2026, and the Justice Department published them on 5 March 2026.5110 All four reports are in the production and all four are cited on this page. A claim that was true when it was made is not true now, and repeating it today misdescribes both the record and what the reporting achieved.

What the release does not contain

The FBI’s own August 2025 email chain asks whether there were “302s, etc.” following up the tip-line complainants and the chain contains no answer.70 The CHS reports record no investigative action. On the sheets themselves, the producing party has withheld a great deal: one seven-page victim interview quoted above has an entire sheet blacked out immediately before the passage naming Trump, so the sentence in which he first appears in that document begins mid-thought.35

None of that is evidence of anything in particular. It is a description of the shape of what was released, and the shape is part of the record.
