FBI Received Rape Allegation Against Trump During Epstein Probe, File Shows, but DOJ Dismisses Claims as 'Untrue and Sensationalist' By Meredith Kile

The latest batch of files released in the Jeffrey Epstein case includes an unverified rape allegation against President Donald Trump.

One of the documents in the release, dated Oct. 27, 2020, appears to be an FBI intake report that features the account of a former limo driver. Though most names are redacted, the text details an alleged 1999 visit between the driver, his son and an unnamed woman. The driver claimed he met Trump years earlier in 1995, when he said he drove the real estate mogul to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

The document reads, “[Driver] reported some of the things President Trump had spoken about during the ride while on his cell phone were very concerning. [Driver] reported he was ‘a few seconds from pulling the limousine over on the median and within a few seconds of pulling him out of the car and hurting him, due to some of the things he was saying.’ ”

“[Driver] noted Trump continuously stated the name ‘Jeffrey’ while on the phone, and made references to ‘abusing some girl.’ [Driver] was unsure who he was talking to nor who he was referencing.”

According to the report, the driver alleged that as he was recalling the story about Trump’s phone call, the unnamed woman he was with went “stone cold.”

Describing the driver’s unverified allegations, the document reads, “[Woman] stated, ‘He raped me.’ [Driver] said, ‘What?’ as [Woman] replied ‘Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.’ ”

The Department of Justice took proactive measures against the claims while releasing the new batch of documents. In a Tuesday, Dec. 23, statement on social media, they wrote, “The Department of Justice has officially released nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election.”

“To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already,” the statement continued. “Nevertheless, out of our commitment to the law and transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims.”

The allegations of rape aren’t the only disturbing accusations in the limo driver’s account. The document goes on to say that the driver alleged he encouraged the woman to tell the police what she told him, but she responded, “I can’t, they will kill me.”

The document summarized the driver’s claims, stating, “On Christmas Day [1999], [Woman] contacted [Driver] and stated she had in fact called the police about what they had talked about. [Driver] told she had ‘done good.’ [Driver] did not hear from [Woman] or [redacted] until 01/10/2000. [Redacted] reached out to [Driver] stating [Woman] was dead and noted she was found with her head ‘blown off’ in Kiefer, OK. Officers on the scene and [redacted] stated there was no way it was a suicide. Corner stated it was a suicide.”
