A woman told federal agents that Donald Trump allegedly made a statement, "Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be," during an encounter when she was between 13 and 15 years old. The FBI document, released by the Justice Department, also states the woman alleged Trump "struck" her after she bit him. She further claimed Trump asked others to leave the room before the incident.
The woman's identity is redacted in the document. She told agents that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Trump, traveling from South Carolina to New York or New Jersey for the meeting. The allegations remain uncorroborated, and the FBI summaries do not indicate that agents were able to verify these claims. A Justice Department source reportedly considered the woman credible, though the FBI lost contact with her when she stopped cooperating.

Encounter Details
The woman recounted biting Trump during the alleged encounter. According to her account, Trump then struck her and told her to leave. She also stated she heard Trump and Epstein discussing Epstein blackmailing people and heard Trump talking about "washing money through casinos." The FBI has not substantiated these specific allegations.
Broader Context and Previous Statements
Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing concerning his association with Epstein or any knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities. The Justice Department is not currently investigating any individuals tied to Epstein, according to a senior DOJ official. The release of these FBI interview summaries comes amid broader scrutiny of the handling and redaction of documents related to Epstein. The woman reportedly received death threats and had two instances of being run off the road after the alleged assault.
Background
These reports emerge from previously withheld FBI documents concerning the Jeffrey Epstein case, which have been progressively released by the Justice Department. The woman making the allegations detailed repeated abuse by Epstein starting in her early teenage years, including being given spiked drinks and forced to perform oral sex on him. She later dropped claims in a lawsuit, and it is unclear if a settlement was reached. Her lawyer at the time declined to comment. The Justice Department acknowledged that some documents were "incorrectly coded as duplicative" and subsequently released.
