A disturbing and unverified allegation against President Donald Trump has emerged from a newly released batch of documents related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, prompting widespread outrage and calls for further investigation. The claim, detailed in an FBI intake form dated around 2020, comes from an anonymous woman who alleges she was sex trafficked as a 13-year-old in 1984 by her uncle and Epstein. She further claims that Trump was involved in her abuse and was present during the murder and disposal of her newborn child in Lake Michigan.
The document, identified as EFTA00025010 and publicly available on the Department of Justice website, describes the complainant’s account in graphic terms. Under a section listing Trump as a “contact,” the form states: “He participated regularly in paying money to force me to [redacted] with him and he was present when my uncle murdered my newborn child and disposed of the body in Lake Michigan.”
The woman, whose identity remains redacted to protect her privacy, reportedly contacted the FBI in 2020 seeking information about an NYPD detective who had allegedly reached out to her. She described being trafficked while pregnant and giving birth during the ordeal. The alleged infanticide and disposal of the body reportedly occurred “mostly from a yacht in Lake Michigan originating from Mona Lake, MI.”
Details of the Allegation
According to the FBI record:
- The events allegedly took place in 1984, when the complainant was 13 years old.
- She claims her uncle and Jeffrey Epstein trafficked her for sexual purposes.
- Trump, then a private citizen, is accused of regularly paying to engage in sexual acts with her.
- After she gave birth to a daughter, her uncle allegedly murdered the newborn and dumped the body into Lake Michigan from a yacht.
- Trump is named specifically as having been present during the murder and disposal.
The complainant told the FBI she had previously shared details with a detective, including information about “other high-profile individuals” involved.
DOJ Response and Context of Release
The U.S. Department of Justice released nearly 30,000 pages of Epstein-related documents on December 23, 2025, as part of ongoing transparency efforts following congressional mandates. In a statement accompanying the release, the DOJ emphasized that some documents “contain untrue and sensationalist claims made 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 had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already,” the DOJ stated. “Nevertheless, out of our commitment to the law and transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims.”
The White House has not issued a direct comment on this specific allegation, but has previously denied any wrongdoing by Trump in connection to Epstein. Trump has long maintained that he distanced himself from Epstein years before the financier’s criminal activities became public.
It remains unclear whether the FBI ever fully investigated the 2020 complaint. No charges have been filed related to these claims, and there is no corroborating evidence mentioned in the released files.
Broader Epstein Document Release
This allegation is one of several sensational items in the latest tranche of files, which include flight logs showing Trump traveled on Epstein’s private jet multiple times in the 1990s, subpoenas to Mar-a-Lago for employment records, and other references to high-profile figures. Other documents, such as a purported letter from Epstein to Larry Nassar referencing Trump, have been deemed fake by the DOJ based on handwriting analysis.
The releases follow bipartisan pressure for full disclosure of Epstein-related materials, with over a million additional documents reportedly still under review.
Public Reaction and Timeline Issues
The claim has sparked intense debate online, trending under phrases like “Donald Trump Epstein Lake Michigan.” Critics have pointed to potential inconsistencies: Trump and Epstein reportedly did not meet until the late 1980s, years after the alleged 1984 events. Additionally, the complaint surfaced in 2020 amid heightened political tensions.
Supporters of the president have dismissed it as a politically motivated hoax, noting the timing and lack of verification. Victim advocacy groups, meanwhile, have called for thorough reviews of all uninvestigated tips in the Epstein case.
Historical Context of Trump-Epstein Ties
Trump and Epstein were known social acquaintances in New York and Palm Beach circles during the 1980s and 1990s. Trump once described Epstein as a “terrific guy” in a 2002 interview but later said he banned him from Mar-a-Lago after learning of his behavior. Flight logs confirm several trips together, though primarily domestic and non-controversial.
No prior Epstein documents or court cases have substantiated claims of criminal involvement by Trump.
As more files are processed and potentially released, this allegation—while explosive—remains an uncorroborated statement from a single anonymous source in raw FBI records. Investigations into Epstein’s network continue to uncover painful details for victims, but distinguishing verified facts from unproven accusations is crucial.
