FBI Received Rape Allegation Against Trump During Epstein Probe, File Shows, but DOJ Dismisses Claims as ‘Untrue and Sensationalist’

A newly released set of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein includes an unverified allegation that President Donald Trump raped a woman in 1999.

One document in the release, dated Oct. 27, 2020, appears to be an FBI intake report summarizing the account of a former limousine driver. While most names are redacted, the report describes an alleged 1999 encounter involving the driver, his son, and an unnamed woman. The driver said he first met Trump years earlier, in 1995, when he claimed he drove the real estate mogul to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

According to the document, the driver described being disturbed by what Trump allegedly said during a phone call while riding in the limousine.

“[Driver] reported some of the things President Trump had spoken about during the ride while on his cell phone were very concerning,” the document states. The driver said 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.”

The report adds that Trump allegedly repeated the name “Jeffrey” and made references to “abusing some girl,” though the driver said he did not know who Trump was speaking to or who he was referring to.

The document says that when the driver later recounted the phone call, the unnamed woman who was with him went “stone cold.” The report then summarizes the driver’s claim that the woman said, “He raped me,” and, when asked what she meant, replied that “Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”

As the documents were released, the Department of Justice addressed the contents in a statement on Tuesday, Dec. 23, warning that some materials included what it described as false claims submitted shortly before the 2020 election.

“The Department of Justice has officially released nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein,” the statement said. “Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election.”

The statement continued: “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 DOJ added that it released the documents “out of our commitment to the law and transparency,” while applying legally required protections for Epstein’s victims.

The FBI intake report includes additional allegations from the limo driver beyond the rape claim. The document says the driver urged the woman to report what she told him to police, but she allegedly responded, “I can’t, they will kill me.”

The report further summarizes that, on Christmas Day 1999, the woman allegedly contacted the driver and said she had reported the matter to police. The driver told her she had “done good,” the document states. It then claims the driver did not hear from her again until Jan. 10, 2000, when another person contacted him and said the woman was dead and had been found with her head “blown off” in Kiefer, Oklahoma.

According to the intake report, the person told the driver there was “no way it was a suicide,” while the document says an official ruling described it as a suicide.
