The release of thousands of documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has ignited a political firestorm, bringing fresh scrutiny to his historical ties with President-elect Donald Trump. Within a massive tranche of records published by the Department of Justice, a harrowing new testimony has emerged that places Trump at the centre of a severe sexual assault allegation.
Among the newly unsealed records is an FBI case file that documents a specific allegation of rape against Donald Trump. The claimant, a woman whose name was redacted, alleges that the assault occurred while she was in the presence of Jeffrey Epstein. However, the White House has pointed to a Department of Justice statement labelling the claim 'untrue and sensationalist'.
