A newly released FBI memo alleges that in the early 2000s, a 16-year-old woman told the FBI that she was sexually assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein at his New York home while Epstein was on a speakerphone call with Donald Trump. The memo states the woman claimed she was brought to an upstairs massage room and started massaging Epstein, who then allegedly pulled her on top of him.

Why it matters
