DOJ withheld 53 pages of Epstein files naming Trump

DOJ withheld 53 pages of Epstein files naming Trump

An NPR investigation has found the US Justice Department withheld 53 pages of FBI interview documents related to a woman who accused President Trump of sexually abusing her around 1983, when she was a minor. The FBI interviewed the woman four times, but only one interview was published in the public Epstein files database. The DOJ said any withheld documents are either duplicates, privileged, or part of an ongoing investigation. A White House spokeswoman said Trump has been totally exonerated.
