Using a Tuesday morning report from NPR that Department of Justice appears to have disappeared documents from the Jeffrey Epstein files, MS NOW’s Lisa Rubin zeroed in on one of the most alarming revelations.
According to Rubin, three missing interviews could add more fuel to the fire surrounding Donald Trump, making it appear he was far from a passive friend of the convicted sex trafficker.
NPR reported, “Files scrubbed from public view pertain to a separate woman who was a key witness for the prosecution in the criminal trial of Epstein's co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking. Maxwell is seeking clemency from Trump.”
That led Rubin to tell host Anna Cabrera that missing interviews reportedly showed that an unnamed woman said she was sexually abused by Trump as well as being “hit” by him, and that the one that was released by the DOJ contained nothing that would implicate the president.
Holding up a witness list provided by the DOJ, she said, “So you see in the files, you see evidence that this woman spoke to the FBI four times between July and, I believe, October or November of 2019, four separate interviews, and then they abruptly stop.”
“And we don't know why, because it's the latter three interviews that we're missing,” she continued. “And yet we have this internal FBI correspondence produced by the Department of Justice, where they say that a single accuser against Donald Trump refused to continue cooperating with the FBI. Is that, in fact, this woman? We can't say for sure.”
“But that is one possible conclusion that you could draw that they didn't deem her to be not credible. It's that at some point she stopped cooperating and wanting to be a witness in this proceeding,” she added.
MS NOW legal analyst Catherine Christian noted the accusations came in 2019 and, ‘Who's more high profile than the president of the United States, if this is when she was interviewed? And, you know, even if they're not high profile, as you said, sexual assault victims, they are fearful of coming forward. They don't want to be judged. They frequently are judged, even by friends and family. So you can just imagine the heightened fear if the person you're accusing of doing this is someone who's very high profile.”
