华盛顿,2月25日(路透社) – 国会民主党高层周三指控司法部扣留了一名指控美国总统唐纳德·特朗普未成年时对其进行性虐待的女性的FBI采访记录。

美国众议院监督委员会高级民主党议员罗伯特·加西亚(D-CA)表示,他证实媒体报道称,司法部从向公众披露的300多万份与已故性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦相关的文件中,扣留了50多页与该女性指控相关的材料。

他指出,被扣留的材料显示FBI曾认真对待这些指控,对该女性进行了四次采访,但仅公布了首次采访内容,且未详细提及她对特朗普的指控。

加西亚在致司法部的信中写道:”司法部隐瞒指控特朗普对未成年受害者实施性虐待的文件,这一行为只会加剧我对白宫掩盖真相的深切担忧。”

司法部回应称,正在审查剩余的爱泼斯坦相关文件是否存在不当扣留情况,并表示如情况合适将予以公布。

司法部同时警告称,已披露的部分材料包含针对特朗普的无根据指控和耸人听闻的说法。该部门还表示,扣留了可能暴露爱泼斯坦受害者身份或危及正在进行的调查的材料。

司法部公布的文件中包括特朗普与多名女性的照片(面部信息已编辑),以及一张带有裸露女性轮廓的、疑似特朗普签名的暗示性便条。

2021年对爱泼斯坦同伙吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦的审判中提交的证据显示,特朗普曾多次乘坐爱泼斯坦的私人飞机。爱泼斯坦在一封电子邮件中写道,特朗普”了解这些女孩”,但具体含义尚不清楚。

白宫女发言人阿比盖尔·杰克逊表示,特朗普”在所有与爱泼斯坦相关的问题上均已完全洗清嫌疑”。

特朗普在20世纪90年代和21世纪初与爱泼斯坦广泛社交,但否认对爱泼斯坦的犯罪行为知情,并表示在这位金融家2008年因招揽未成年人卖淫罪被定罪前已断绝联系。特朗普否认曾乘坐爱泼斯坦的飞机,并声称那张暗示性便条系伪造。

WASHINGTON, Feb 25 (Reuters) – A top Democrat in Congress accused the Justice Department on Wednesday of withholding FBI interview records with a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually abusing her as a minor.

Representative Robert Garcia, the senior Democrat on the House of Representatives Oversight Committee, said he had confirmed media reports that the Justice Department withheld more than 50 pages of material related to the woman’s claims from more than 3 million documents it released related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

He said the withheld material showed that the FBI took the allegations seriously and interviewed the woman four times but only released the first interview, which did not detail her accusations against Trump.

“The fact that DOJ is suppressing documents alleging President Trump’s commission of sexual abuse of an underage victim only heightens my genuine concerns about a White House cover-up,” Garcia wrote in a letter to the department.

The Justice Department said it is reviewing whether any of its remaining Epstein-related documents were improperly withheld, and said they would be published if appropriate.

DOJ has warned that some of the material it has released includes unfounded accusations and sensationalist claims against Trump.

The department also says it has withheld material that could compromise the identity of Epstein’s victims or jeopardize ongoing investigations.

Documents released by the Justice Department include photos of Trump with several women whose faces are redacted and a suggestive note to Epstein, framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to bear Trump’s signature.

Evidence and testimony submitted in the 2021 trial of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell indicate Trump traveled on Epstein’s plane multiple times. Epstein wrote in one email that Trump “knew about the girls,” though it is not clear what he meant.

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said Trump had been “totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein.”

Trump socialized extensively with Epstein in the 1990s and 2000s, but has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, and says he broke off ties before the financier’s 2008 conviction on solicitation of a minor for prostitution. Trump denies ever flying on Epstein’s plane and has said the suggestive note was faked.
