The Department of Justice on Thursday released three previpusly withheld FBI interview reports from 2019 related to a woman who made uncorroborated allegations that she was abused by Donald Trump in the 1980s, when she was a minor.

The Department of Justice on Thursday released three previously withheld FBI interview reports from 2019 related to a woman who made uncorroborated allegations that she was abused by Donald Trump in the 1980s, when she was a minor.

In a statement on social media, the Department of Justice said the interview summaries -- known as FBI 302 reports -- were initially withheld from the January release of millions of pages of DOJ documents related to Jeffrey Epstein because they were believed to be duplicative of other documents.

"What we found through extensive review is that a published 302 -- additionally disclosed in a published spreadsheet -- had subsequent 302s that were coded as 'duplicative.' After this was brought to our attention, we reviewed the entire batch with the similar coding and discovered 15 documents were incorrectly coded as duplicative," the DOJ account said.

The statement did not appear to explain why, beyond possible human error, the records were marked as duplicative. As of Thursday evening, the DOJ database still does not include the handwritten notes from the interviews themselves.

According to the reports, the FBI interviewed the woman four times between July and October 2019. During each of the interviews with the woman, whose identity is redacted, she made allegations of abuse against Epstein.

In her second interview with federal investigators, she claimed that Epstein once took her to either New York or New Jersey where he introduced to Trump when she was between the ages of 13 and 15 years old. According to the report, she claimed Trump abused her during that trip.

In the fourth interview in October 2019, the woman declined to provide additional details about the alleged interaction with Trump when asked by agents, according to the summary of that interview.

Her statements to the federal agents allege that the incident with Trump took place in the early-to-mid 1980s -- a period when Epstein and Trump did not appear to be in contact.

This photo illustration shows redacted documents from the Epstein Library files released by the US Department of Justice in Washington, DC, on February 18, 2026. The Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA), passed overwhelmingly by Congress in November 2025, compelled the Justice Department to release all of the documents in its possession related to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days.

Trump has denied any wrongdoing related to his relationship with Epstein or any knowledge of Epstein's criminal activity.

In her initial interview with the FBI, the woman claims she was sexually abused by Epstein after being hired for what she thought was a babysitting job, but she said there were no children present. Similar abuse occurred, she said, on several more occasions, according to the summary of the first report, which was released by the DOJ in January.

The witness said multiple alleged incidents with Epstein took place in South Carolina, a location not known to have been frequented by Epstein. The timing of the allegations would place them two decades before law enforcement in Florida began investigating Epstein for sexual exploitation of minors.

Before the additional records were released Thursday, Congressional Democrats had accused the Justice Department of illegally withholding the documents to protect the president.

"It is unconscionable, it is illegal, and [Attorney General] Pam Bondi and the president need to answer where those files are," California Democrat Robert Garcia, D-Calif. said last week.

In a statement in January, the Department of Justice said that some investigative files in the massive tranche released would include unsubstantiated claims about Trump.

"Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims 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 have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already," the statement said.

Humanity is heating the planet faster than ever before, a study has found.

Climate breakdown is occurring more rapidly with the heating rate almost doubling, according to research that excludes the effect of natural factors behind the latest scorching temperatures.

It found global heating accelerated from a steady rate of less than 0.2C per decade between 1970 and 2015 to about 0.35C per decade over the past 10 years. The rate is higher than scientists have seen since they started systematically taking the Earth's temperature in 1880.

"If the warming rate of the past 10 years continues, it would lead to a long-term exceedance of the 1.5C (2.7F) limit of the Paris agreement before 2030," said Stefan Rahmstorf, a scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and co-author of the study.

Extreme heat in recent years has been pushed higher by natural fluctuations - such as solar cycles, volcanic eruptions, and the weather pattern El Niño - that have led scientists to question whether startling temperature readings are outliers or the result of an increase in global heating.

The researchers applied a noise-reduction method to filter out the estimated effect of nonhuman factors in five major datasets that scientists have compiled to gauge the Earth's temperature. In each of them, they found an acceleration in global heating emerged in 2013 or 2014.

"There is now pretty widespread - if not quite universal - agreement that there has been a detectable acceleration in warming in recent years," said Zeke Hausfather, a climate scientist at Berkeley Earth, who was not involved in the study. "However, it remains unclear how much of the additional warming over the past decade in particular is a forced response versus unforced variability."

The blanket of carbon pollution smothering the Earth has heated the planet by about 1.4C since preindustrial levels, compounded by a recent drop in cooling sulphur pollutants that had provided temporary relief. A study Hausfather co-authored last year also found climate breakdown has speeded up, but had the rate slightly slower than the new study, at 0.27C a decade.

"Either way, this represents a significant increase in the rate of warming," said Hausfather. "[This] should be worrying as the world hurtles toward crossing 1.5C later this decade."

The researchers said the acceleration fell within the scope of climate models. Based on temperatures from one of the datasets analysed, supplied by the EU's Copernicus service, the world will cross the 1.5C threshold for long-term warming this year if the rate of warming does not slow. Analysis of the other four datasets showed a breach in 2028 or 2029.

Claudie Beaulieu, a climate scientist at the University of California Santa Cruz, said the findings imply that the window for limiting warming even to 2C above preindustrial levels would "narrow substantially" if faster warming persists.

"An important caveat, however, is that the acceleration may prove temporary," said Beaulieu, who has published on the topic but was not involved in the new study. She added that the strong El Niño of 1998 also produced a period of apparent anomalous warming.

"The relative slowdown that followed was interpreted as evidence of a pause in global warming," she said. "Continued monitoring over the next several years will be essential to determine whether the accelerated warming rate identified here represents a lasting shift or a transient feature of natural variability."

Climate scientists suspect global heating of 1.5C-2C may be enough to trigger near-apocalyptic "tipping points" that play out over decades and centuries, with the chances of catastrophe increasing at higher levels of warming. They are more confident about the damage climate breakdown will do in the short-term, such as making heatwaves hotter and allowing storms to unleash more rain.

The past three years have been the hottest three-year period on record, the World Meteorological Organization confirmed in January. Scientists have continued to log record-breaking levels of planet-heating pollution while raising fears that the planet's carbon sinks - natural systems that remove CO ₂ from the atmosphere - may be starting to fail.

"How quickly the Earth continues to warm ultimately depends on how rapidly we reduce global CO ₂ emissions from fossil fuels to zero," said Rahmstorf.

On Tuesday, an Iranian warship was sank by a US submarine. This took place thousands of miles from the warzone, causing the legalities of the attack to be taken into question. According to military law experts, this would've been a lawful attack if the US had declared war, but they haven't. This has caused concern on whether or not a declaration of war is necessary for this ongoing and growing conflict. So far 12 countries have been involved in this conflict between the US and Iran.
