The U.S. Department of Justice has released additional documents from the investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including FBI interview summaries containing allegations involving former U.S. President Donald Trump. The files include a 2019 interview with a woman who claimed Epstein introduced her to Trump in the 1980s when she was a teenager and alleged Trump attempted to sexually assault her.

Trump and his representatives have strongly denied the claims, calling them baseless and politically motivated. (PC: CNN)
