She Was Telling the Truth

Cover-Ups GriftMatrix

So the woman who says Trump sexually assaulted her when she was 13 – the one from the Epstein files – it turns out she’s been telling the truth this whole time. Not about Trump specifically. That part is still unproven. But about everything the FBI could actually go check? Verified.

Here’s the story.

In 2019, a woman contacted the FBI after Epstein’s arrest and described being trafficked as a minor in the mid-1980s out of Hilton Head, South Carolina. Her mother was a real estate agent who put a babysitting ad in a client packet. Epstein responded to the ad. She was 13.

The FBI interviewed her four times between July and October of 2019, and she gave investigators a pile of specific, checkable details about her life – names, places, crimes, people.

A South Carolina newspaper, the Post and Courier, went and checked them.

The Ohio businessman she named as one of her abusers, described as a grey-haired man with “big ears” affiliated with a Cincinnati-area college? Board member.

Her mom’s embezzlement arrest around 1985, allegedly to pay Epstein’s blackmail? Real. Her mother’s real estate license being pulled by the state commission that same year? Real. Prison near Columbia? Real.

She mentioned seeing Epstein exactly once in a non-sexual context – at a Rick James concert in Savannah. Newspaper archives confirm Rick James was performing in Savannah regularly around that time.

You don’t just happen to know all that if you made it up.

She also told the FBI that Epstein flew or drove her to a building in New York or New Jersey – “very tall, huge rooms” – where he introduced her to Trump. She said Trump sent everyone else out of the room and told her, “let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be.”

What happened next is what she told investigators, and it’s in the files, and it is deeply ugly, and Trump has denied all of it.

That specific encounter with Trump cannot be corroborated. There’s no document, no witness, no physical evidence. Which is how sexual assault against children typically works, by the way – Epstein was very good at making sure of that.

But here’s the thing Karoline Leavitt would prefer you didn’t notice.

The DOJ – Trump’s DOJ, the one that was supposed to release all this under the Epstein Files Transparency Act that Trump himself signed – initially withheld the records of three out of four of those FBI interviews.

NPR and CNN both caught it. The DOJ said the files were “incorrectly coded as duplicates.” The exact same files that had been handed to Ghislaine Maxwell’s defense attorneys during her trial. Maxwell’s legal team had the documents. The American public did not.

When Democrats on the House Oversight Committee noticed and made enough noise about it, the files got released. The DOJ framed this as a clerical error. Sure.

A Miami Herald source who works at the DOJ told the paper that investigators don’t sit down with someone four times if they think she’s making things up. That’s just not how it works.

Leavitt called her “a sadly disturbed woman with an extensive criminal history.” The criminal history is real. It’s also completely beside the point when a newspaper just confirmed the specific details she gave the FBI about her mother’s 1985 federal prison sentence, the exact name and description of another one of her abusers, and a Rick James concert.

Trump has denied any involvement with Epstein’s crimes, has not been charged with anything, and the DOJ reviewed the files and says it found nothing warranting further investigation. The DOJ that is run by people Trump appointed. That DOJ.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act prohibits withholding documents for reasons of “embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity.” The files about this woman were withheld. Then released after a fight. Then Leavitt went on camera and called her disturbed.

All of that, and we’ve apparently only seen about 2 percent of the total Epstein archive.
