Controversy is growing again as the FBI investigation records related to the past allegations that U.S. President Donald Trump sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl have been released.
The U.S. Daily Beast reported on the 7th (local time) that the FBI interviewed the woman four times in 2019 as a result of the recently released "Epstein File" analysis. The interview was conducted while investigating the case of billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his close aide Ghislaine Maxwell.
"If investigators didn't trust the statement at all, they wouldn't have interviewed the same person four times," a DOJ official told the Miami Herald.
As the recent disclosure of investigative documents related to Epstein continues, allegations of past sex scandals surrounding President Trump are also drawing attention again.
◆ FBI record "The man Epstein introduced..."It was Trump"
According to the FBI interview summary, the woman was first sexually assaulted by Epstein at the age of 13 and then handed over to several men between the ages of 13 and 15.
In the process, Epstein "introduced himself to a rich man" and the person was Trump.
Epstein took him to high buildings in New York or New Jersey, he said. There were several people in the room at the time, but only the two remained after Trump told them to leave.
The woman then testified that Trump acted inappropriately and that the sexual assault continued. The FBI also wrote that Trump took advantage of Trump's genitalia and pulled his hair and hit him in the head during the resistance process.
◆ "A threatening call for the rest of my life"...The threat claim
The woman told the FBI that she had been receiving threatening phone calls for a long time. She also said that she experienced several situations where the car seemed to be pushing her off the road.
In particular, he said at the time of the interview that such threats have increased somewhat in recent years, but did not explain specific reasons.
He also left a statement to the effect that he is considering whether it is meaningful to continue legal action because the incident was decades ago.
◆ Same suspicions raised during the 2016 presidential election
The statements released this time largely overlap with the sexual assault lawsuits filed during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
At the time, a woman filed a civil suit under the pseudonym "Jane Doe" or "Katie Johnson," claiming that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was 13.
However, the case was eventually dropped after being filed several times.
At the time, the woman's lawyer said her client was unable to come forward publicly due to threats. Some media outlets also raised the possibility that the case was linked to an anti-Trump activist.
◆ White House "Completely baseless allegations"
The White House strongly denied the report.
"This is a completely unfounded claim made by a mentally unstable woman with a criminal history," White House press secretary Caroline Levitt said in a statement.
"The Biden administration and the Justice Department have known about the case for years, but nothing has been done," he said. "It shows that President Trump has done nothing wrong."
"President Trump's innocence has already been confirmed in the process of releasing the Epstein file," he added.
As the disclosure of Epstein-related documents continues in the U.S. political circle, there is a possibility that the suspicion of sex scandals in the past will emerge as a political issue again.

In this report, the attitude of questioning the credibility of the other person, saying that he has a criminal history
Basically, rather than claiming one's innocence, there is a side that adds to the doubt.
There are quite a few people involved in the Epstein file,
Trump must be one of them.
It seems much wiser to disclose all the data transparently and claim your innocence.
