DOJ faces backlash for withholding 53 redacted pages from FBI interviews in 1983 sexual assault allegation against Trump.

The Justice Department is under scrutiny for withholding 53 redacted pages from FBI interviews related to a woman’s 1983 allegation that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her after being introduced by Jeffrey Epstein. Jimmy Kimmel and House Oversight Committee member Rep. Robert Garcia criticized the delay, calling it a potential cover-up, while the DOJ maintains all non-privileged, non-duplicate documents have been released. Trump denies any involvement, and White House officials claim he has been “totally exonerated.” The missing pages, which repeatedly redact Trump’s name, have fueled public concern over transparency, especially as investigators believe Epstein may have destroyed key evidence before his 2019 arrest.
