Documents released by the US justice department briefly mention a woman’s unverified accusation that Trump assaulted her in the 1980s, when she was a minor. “The department of justice appears to have illegally withheld FBI interviews with this survivor who accused president Trump of heinous crimes. US attorney-general Pam Bondi earlier this month came under sustained attack from legislators during a congressional hearing for her department’s handling of the Epstein material – including for not meeting some of the victims. The president has been seldom mentioned in the trove of documents released by the department of justice. Bondi earlier this month told the House judiciary committee there was “no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime”.
