The recently-released tranche of additional documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein include remarks by a woman identifying as one of the victims of the late disgraced financier and convicted sex trafficker, in which she refers to Donald Trump as a witness to the killing and disposal of the body of her infant.
The US Department of Justice released the documents numbering tens of thousands, which include FBI tips and complaints implicating Trump, on Wednesday.
Reports emerging on Friday across various outlets, including the UK edition of American online newspaper The International Business Times, pointed to inclusion in the documents of an FBI intake form dated March 3, 2020 recording a complaint from the unnamed woman.
The complainant said she had been trafficked at age 13 in the early 1980s and described an incident in 1984 involving the killing of her newborn child aboard a yacht in Mona Lake, Michigan.
According to the document, the woman said her uncle had carried out the killing and disposed of the body in the water.
The filing lists Trump as a witness to the incident.
The latest tranche of documents was made public under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a bipartisan law that requires the release of all unclassified federal records related to Epstein.
The DOJ has acknowledged missing a congressionally mandated December 19 deadline and said the disclosures would continue in stages, citing alleged legal review requirements and victim protections.
Other documents in the latest release reference Trump’s past social interactions with Epstein.
A January 2020 email from an unidentified prosecutor stated that flight records showed Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet multiple times in the 1990s, including on flights where Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell was also present. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for sex trafficking-related offenses.
Epstein was arrested in 2019 on federal sex-trafficking charges and was later found dead in his Manhattan jail cell; his death was ruled a “suicide.” The newly-released files also include photographs, emails, court filings, and tips referencing numerous high-profile figures, many of whom have denied any involvement in Epstein’s crimes.
The staggered release has drawn criticism from lawmakers and victims’ advocates, who argue the DOJ has been slow and inconsistent in complying with the transparency law. A bipartisan group of lawmakers has threatened further action if deadlines continue to be missed, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has denounced the department for mishandling the disclosures.

The Russian leader said in 2008 that it could lead to “long-term conflict” with Washington, according to transcripts of the talks
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned his then-US counterpart, George W. Bush, almost two decades ago that attempts to make Ukraine a member of NATO could split the country apart and result in a confrontation between Moscow and Washington, records of conversations between the two leaders have revealed.
On Tuesday, the US National Security archives published verbatim transcripts of several exchanges between Putin and Bush throughout the 2000s.
During their first meeting in Slovenia in June 2001, the Russian president questioned the need for NATO’s enlargement, but stressed that he “can imagine us [Moscow and Washington] becoming allies,” according to the files.
His tone stiffened significantly by the time of their last meeting in the Russian city of Sochi in April 2008, a year after Putin delivered his famous speech at the Munich Security Conference, ...
Senator Rand Paul has published his annual Festivus report detailing wasteful spending and record debt payments
The US government has spent over $1.6 trillion this year on wasteful programs, such as teaching ferrets how to binge-drink alcohol and dosing dogs with cocaine, according to Senator Rand Paul’s latest annual ‘Festivus Report’.
The Kentucky Republican’s 2025 edition notes a total of $1,639,135,969,608 in waste, including $1.22 trillion spent on interest payments for the US national debt, which has reached nearly $40 trillion.

Other highlighted projects involve $14.6 million to make monkeys play a ‘Price Is Right’-inspired video game, a process that involved screwing metal ...
Russia has said that the collective West uses its sanctions against other countries to cling to its fading dominance.
Speaking at a press briefing in Moscow, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday the collective West is attempting to maintain its "slipping dominance" through unilateral coercive measures; however, in a multipolar world, this just won’t fly.
She stressed that collectively imposing punitive measures against other countries is solely within the authority of the United Nations Security Council.
She said the practice of applying unilateral sanctions encroaches upon its exclusive prerogatives. "Everyone knows that the collective West frequently resorts to this, primarily motivated by geopolitical interests."
Zakharova described unilateral coercive measures by the West as an obstacle to international peace and justice.
"Unilateral coercive measures represent a serious obstacle to establishing a just and equitable multipolar world order," she ...
