Trump Was Accused of Rape in FBI File — but DOJ Dismisses Claims as ‘Untrue and Sensationalist’

A newly released Justice Department document from the Jeffrey Epstein files contains an unverified allegation from an October 2020 FBI tip claiming President Donald Trump, along with Epstein, raped an unnamed woman in the late 1990s.

The report, based on a former limo driver’s account, describes a disturbing conversation and the woman’s subsequent alleged death—ruled a suicide despite claims it was staged. The DOJ has proactively dismissed the claims as “untrue and sensationalist,” emphasizing their timing before the 2020 election and lack of corroboration.

The document, dated October 27, 2020, is an FBI intake summary of a tip from a former limo driver whose name is redacted. It details a 1995 ride with Trump to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, during which the driver overheard Trump on a phone call referencing “Jeffrey” and “abusing some girl.”

Years later, in 1999, the driver recounted the story to an unnamed woman and his son. The woman allegedly went “stone cold” and stated: “He raped me.” When pressed, she clarified: “Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”

The driver encouraged her to report it, but she reportedly feared retaliation: “I can’t, they will kill me.”

The tipster claimed the woman contacted him on Christmas Day 1999 saying she had called police, but he never heard from her again until January 10, 2000, when a redacted individual informed him she was dead—found with her head “blown off” in Kiefer, Oklahoma.

Authorities reportedly ruled it a suicide, but the tipster and others insisted “there was no way it was a suicide.”

The report labels the information unverified, with no indication of follow-up investigation.

DOJ’s Preemptive Dismissal

The DOJ addressed the allegation in a Tuesday statement accompanying the release of nearly 30,000 pages: “Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. 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 department emphasized compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act while noting protections for victims.

The file is part of mandated disclosures under the Act, signed by Trump in November requiring full release by December 19. The DOJ missed the deadline, posting partial batches amid criticism for redactions and temporary removals—including Trump-related photos.

Other materials include images of Epstein with high-profile figures like Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Michael Jackson, and Kevin Spacey—none accused of wrongdoing—as well as photos appearing to show Epstein with children. Ghislaine Maxwell appears in several.

Separate House Oversight Committee materials include Epstein emails referencing Trump.

Trump has acknowledged 1990s-2000s social ties to Epstein but claims estrangement before legal issues. In 2002, he called Epstein a “terrific guy” who liked “beautiful women… on the younger side.” Photos show them together with Maxwell, though none depict misconduct.

The allegation—unverified and from an anonymous tip does not specify details beyond the woman’s claim. No charges or corroboration have emerged.

The release comes amid Democratic demands for full compliance, with Senate Leader Chuck Schumer threatening legal action and some calling for Attorney General Pam Bondi’s impeachment over perceived delays.

The DOJ’s “weaponized already” defense has drawn skepticism, given Epstein’s history of overlooked allegations.

The files remain politically volatile as 2026 midterms approach. Unverified tips like this—released without context can dominate discourse, even when dismissed as false.

The administration insists transparency while managing sensitive material. For critics, the pattern of partial releases and preemptive denials suggests caution around Trump-related content.

The full impact of this tip—and others in remaining files will depend on whether corroboration emerges. For now, its inclusion ensures continued debate over a scandal that refuses to fade.
