Previously unreleased, handwritten notes from FBI agents are shedding new light on the relationship between notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and President Donald Trump. The notes, derived from interviews with a woman who claimed to have traveled with Epstein as a teen, allege that she was sexually assaulted by Trump during one of these trips, which could constitute sex trafficking. The notes also include details about other young girls who were allegedly involved with Epstein's activities.

Why it matters

These new revelations come amidst ongoing Congressional investigations into the Epstein case and the Department of Justice's handling of related documents. The notes could provide corroborating evidence of Trump's involvement with Epstein's sex trafficking ring, which the White House has denied.

The details

The 30 handwritten notes were not fully included in the official FBI summaries, known as 302s, that were previously released. The notes detail the woman's introduction to Trump through Epstein, stating that Epstein 'drove her and flew her' to meet the future president, who she says then forcefully assaulted her. The notes also mention the names of four young teenage girls who were allegedly at a pool party attended by Epstein, information that was not included in the released Epstein files.

  • The handwritten notes were derived from 2019 interviews with the woman.
  • Pam Bondi was fired as Florida Attorney General in April 2026, which some have claimed was an attempt to avoid her testimony on the Epstein files.
