A recently resurfaced FBI intake document connected to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation has drawn renewed attention. The unclassified report, dated October 27, 2020, summarizes information provided to the FBI regarding Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. It includes secondhand claims that a woman was raped by Epstein and Donald Trump in the late 1990s.
Statements from a limousine driver allege Trump discussed abusing girls while speaking to someone referred to as “Jeffrey.”
The report details the woman’s experiences between 1997 and 1999, including introductions to wealthy individuals, hotel visits, and being given money. After she reported these events, she died in January 2000. Her death was officially ruled a suicide, but responding officers reportedly questioned the ruling at the scene.
The document also notes fears expressed by those connected to the woman, including concerns about retaliation and safety.
FBI intake reports reflect allegations provided to investigators, not verified findings or legal judgments. While the claims remain unadjudicated, the document underscores the serious accusations presented to federal authorities.
Experts say the files highlight gaps in accountability surrounding Epstein’s abuse network and the challenges faced by those who came forward. “These files are not a verdict. But they are a reminder of how many voices came forward,” the report notes.
