A CNN analysis found that dozens of witness interviews were missing from the online archive of evidence related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

These interviews were memorialized in so-called “302” memos detailing what interviewees told FBI agents. The 302s do not include other corroborating information or agents’ opinions.

Among the missing records were three memos about interviews with a woman who told agents that Epstein had repeatedly abused her physically and sexually decades ago, beginning when she was approximately 13 years old, and who also accused Trump of sexually assaulting her.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the claims from the FBI interviews as “completely baseless accusations backed by zero credible evidence.”

She also questioned the credibility of the accuser, whose name is redacted in the files.

Trump previously settled with one accuser listed in the Epstein files and also reached agreements with four other minors, including two boys, who accused him of sexual abuse.

Critics have alleged that Trump is a pedophile based on clinical assessments. Pedophilic Disorder is a diagnosis in the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) assigned to adults who have sexual desire for prepubescent children.

Any behavioral expression of pedophilic disorder is a criminal offense in the United States, Canada, and Europe, as well as in most other jurisdictions.

Pedophilic Disorder, DSM-5 code 302.2 (F65.4), is considered highly treatment-resistant, and rates of recidivism have been estimated at 25% to 50%.

Critics claim Trump’s disorder is severe, alleging that he has engaged in sexual activity with young girls and boys, Isabelle Khurshudyan and Samantha Waldenberg also reported for CNN.
