The Justice Department has reportedly withheld approximately 30 pages of Jeffrey Epstein files detailing allegations made by a South Carolina woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by Donald Trump in 1984 when she was 13. The woman stated that Epstein introduced her to Trump, who then forced her to perform a sexual act and subsequently punched her when she retaliated. While the FBI has interviewed the woman multiple times, and some Epstein files have been released, these specific documents remain undisclosed, fueling accusations of a cover-up.
