The rationale behind the FBI’s compilation of allegations against Trump last year remains uncertain.
Trump has consistently refuted any misconduct concerning Epstein.
The files encompass over a dozen claims.
In a note, an official clarifies that “yellow highlighting is for the salacious piece,” indicating how the allegations were categorized.
On Friday afternoon, two iterations of the document seemed to be temporarily taken down from the Justice Department’s site, only to be reinstated later without noticeable alterations.
A DOJ official said the document was down “due to overload” and was back online.
The allegations appear to be unverified, and the officials note that some are secondhand information.
The document notes that in many instances, there was no contact made with the individuals who sent in the allegations, or no contact information was provided.
Some of the allegations were followed up on.
“Was there anything in the file re follow up with the below individuals? 302s. etc?” one official writes.
“As everything that was sent to the FBI by the public was included in the production that is responsive to the Act.
“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 weaponised against President Trump already.”
