A newly released FBI tip buried inside the Justice Department’s massive Jeffrey Epstein document dump alleges that Donald Trump once threatened to make a girl “disappear” and have her “whole family killed,” according to a sworn statement submitted to federal investigators in 2016.
The allegation is contained in an FBI submission dated June 18, 2016, signed under penalty of perjury by a witness using the pseudonym “Tiffany Doe.” The document surfaced Friday amid the DOJ’s publication of roughly 3.5 million Epstein-related records, a data dump that continues to expose disturbing claims involving Epstein and those connected to him.
According to the tip, the witness told federal investigators that they had “personally witnessed” Trump issue the threat to a plaintiff in a lawsuit. The filing claims the warning was explicit and violent, delivered as a demand for silence, Raw Story reports.
“I personally witnessed Defendant Trump telling Plaintiff that she shouldn’t ever say anything if she didn’t want to disappear like the 12-year-old female [redacted], and that he was capable of having her whole family killed,” the FBI affidavit reads. “I am coming forward to swear to the truthfulness of the physical and sexual abuse that I personally witnessed of minor females at the hands of Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein, including the Plaintiff, during the time of my employment from the years of 1990-2000 for Mr. Epstein.”
As reporters and researchers dig through the roughly 3.5 million Epstein-related records, additional allegations involving the Accused have surfaced. Those include a child sex abuse tip that was forwarded to the FBI for further review and a separate claim that Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell attempted to “effectively pimp” a young girl to Trump.
Trump’s prior association with Epstein has continued to draw scrutiny during his second term in the White House, particularly after Epstein once described him as his “closest friend for 10 years.” Records also show Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet at least seven times during the 1990s, and DOJ documents released in December indicate he “spent hours” with one of Epstein’s victims at his residence.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein and is not currently facing criminal charges.
