‘Trump witnessed killing, disposal of Epstein victim’s infant,’ released files show
The recently-released tranche of additional documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein include remarks by a woman identifying as one of the victims of the late disgraced financier and convicted sex trafficker, in which she refers to Donald Trump as a witness to the killing and disposal of the body of her infant.
The US Department of Justice released the documents numbering tens of thousands, which include FBI tips and complaints implicating Trump, on Wednesday.
Reports emerging on Friday across various outlets, including the UK edition of American online newspaper The International Business Times, pointed to inclusion in the documents of an FBI intake form dated March 3, 2020 recording a complaint from the unnamed woman.
The complainant said she had been trafficked at age 13 in the early 1980s and described an incident in 1984 involving the killing of her newborn child aboard a yacht in Mona Lake, Michigan.
According to the document, the woman said her uncle had carried out the killing and disposed of the body in the water.
The filing lists Trump as a witness to the incident.
The latest tranche of documents was made public under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a bipartisan law that requires the release of all unclassified federal records related to Epstein.
The DOJ has acknowledged missing a congressionally mandated December 19 deadline and said the disclosures would continue in stages, citing alleged legal review requirements and victim protections.
Other documents in the latest release reference Trump’s past social interactions with Epstein.
A January 2020 email from an unidentified prosecutor stated that flight records showed Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet multiple times in the 1990s, including on flights where Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell was also present. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for sex trafficking-related offenses.

Epstein was arrested in 2019 on federal sex-trafficking charges and was later found dead in his Manhattan jail cell; his death was ruled a “suicide.” The newly-released files also include photographs, emails, court filings, and tips referencing numerous high-profile figures, many of whom have denied any involvement in Epstein’s crimes.
The staggered release has drawn criticism from lawmakers and victims’ advocates, who argue the DOJ has been slow and inconsistent in complying with the transparency law. A bipartisan group of lawmakers has threatened further action if deadlines continue to be missed, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has denounced the department for mishandling the disclosures.
