image for Fresh Evidence 'Backs' Teen's Rape Claim Against Donald Trump As Chilling Epstein Link Resurfaces

The claims, which remain unproven, have resurfaced following the release of Department of Justice (DOJ) materials and a fresh review of evidence by a regional US newspaper.

The woman, whose identity remains protected, was interviewed four times by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2019 after the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein.

According to DOJ records, she described repeated sexual abuse by Epstein between the ages of 13 and 15, alleging that he trafficked her to multiple men, including Donald Trump.

Portions of her interviews referencing Trump were initially withheld by the Department of Justice.

In one account documented by federal agents, the woman alleged that Epstein took her to a high-rise property in the New York or New Jersey area, where she encountered Trump.

The FBI notes, now partially declassified, record explicit allegations, including statements attributed to Trump and descriptions of sexual violence.

If you're just catching up with our Iran coverage, the video from our US correspondent Mark Stone is a great place to start.
