Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) is demanding answers regarding a disturbing tip received by the FBI in 2016 that includes allegations of the “sexual exploitation of a minor” involving President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
“Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files?” Stansbury wrote early Saturday morning in a social media post on X, alongside a link to an FBI tip that was published last month by the Justice Department.
In the tip, an individual who is identified as an attorney contacted the FBI on behalf of their client, whose name is listed as “Jane Doe.” According to the apparent attorney, their client was “enticed” to cross state lines to visit Epstein and Trump in New York “to perform sexual acts on both adult men at special parties hosted by Epstein,” a series of incidents that allegedly occurred when Doe was 13 years old.
According to the report, the attorney told the FBI that Doe had been enticed to visit Trump and Epstein under the guise of starting a modeling career, and had attended four parties hosted by the disgraced financier, all attended by Trump. Doe, according to her attorney, was asked to perform increasingly explicit “sexual acts” on Trump.
The attorney told the FBI that during the fourth party attended by their client, Doe was raped by both Trump and Epstein, and “threatened with violence by both men to not make any report of what happened."
“We’ll make you disappear like [redacted],” Doe was told, according to the FBI write up based on the attorney’s tip.
According to the FBI report, the attorney filed a complaint in court on behalf of their client, a complaint that advanced far enough for court summons to “have been issued,” and a scheduling conference set for Sept. 2, 2016. At the time of the FBI report write up, however, the complaints had “not yet been served to Epstein or Trump.”
The report also notes that an internal FBI database search generated a case number regarding the allegation.
As a member of the House Oversight Committee, which has been among the leading congressional bodies investigating Epstein and potential co-conspirators, Stansbury is well positioned to advocate for congressional subpoenas to be issued, a tool lawmakers have at their disposal to compel witnesses to testify under oath.
While the aforementioned allegations were documented by the FBI, many of the Epstein-related documents produced by the DOJ contain unverified, uncorroborated allegations that do not constitute evidence, and do not establish wrongdoing. Trump is not facing any criminal charges or investigations related to the allegation.
