FBI agents compiled a list of the most “salacious” Jeffrey Epstein-related allegations involving President Donald Trump only days after the bureau and the Department of Justice said there was no evidence that Epstein kept a client list, according to an email reviewed by Raw Story.
The material consisted of multiple allegations of sex crimes made against Trump through the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center tip line, the bureau’s centralized intake point for reports from the public. The claims were gathered and emailed among a small group of officials in the FBI’s New York field office assigned to the Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force.
The allegations included claims of sexual abuse and even murder in which Trump was mentioned. “Yellow highlighting is the salacious piece,” one FBI official wrote when sharing the list, which contained extensive yellow highlighting.
It is unclear why the list was compiled at that time, or why it was assembled at all. Questions Raw Story submitted to the FBI’s New York field office were not answered. The sender’s name and the list of recipients were redacted, but the sender’s email signature identified the person as “Tactical Specialist-Staff Operations Specialist/Child Exploitation & Human Trafficking Task Force.”
The email was circulated on August 7, 2025. That was exactly one month after the FBI and the Department of Justice issued a joint memo saying there was no evidence that Epstein had maintained a list of powerful men connected to his criminal activity — a finding that had drawn intense public and Congressional scrutiny, as lawmakers and victims’ advocates had for years pushed for full disclosure of Epstein-related records.
The email also came three months before the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed in November 2025, a step that cleared the way for a large volume of Epstein-related files to be released.
The claims highlighted in the email were submitted by multiple members of the public to the FBI tip line. According to the email, agents were dispatched to investigate in some instances. In most cases, the complainants, whose names were redacted, were never interviewed.
Trump and Epstein were friends for years and socialized in the 1990s and early 2000s before a reported falling-out. Epstein was arrested in 2019 and charged with sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors. His indictment alleged that he sexually exploited and abused dozens of underage girls by enticing them into sex acts for money.
Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan prison cell later that year.
Trump has never been charged with a crime related to his association with Epstein. None of the entries in the email indicate that the FBI determined any of the complaints to be credible.
One tip described in the email came from a woman who said her friend had been forced to perform oral sex on Trump at an event in New Jersey. The document does not give a date for when the complaint was received, but it says the alleged assault occurred 35 years earlier.
“The friend allegedly bit President Trump while performing oral sex,” the FBI report states.
“The friend was allegedly hit in the face after she laughed about biting President Trump. The friend said she was also abused by Epstein.”
Other callers described “big orgy parties” allegedly held by Epstein and accused Trump of attending. One caller alleged that Trump witnessed sex trafficking at a Trump golf course in California between 1995 and 1996.
“Complainant reported Ghislaine Maxwell as the madam and broker for sex parties, clients of whom included Epstein, Robin Leach. and Donald Trump,” the FBI email states.
Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime companion, was convicted in 2021 on five federal counts including sex trafficking of a minor and conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts. She was sentenced in 2022 to 20 years in federal prison.
“Complainant reported participating in orgies and that some girls went missing, rumored to have been murdered and buried at the facility. Complainant reported being threatened by Trump's then head of security that, if she ever talked of what went on there or who she saw, she would "end up as fertilizer for the back nine holes like the other c----."”
The email said that the complainant was interviewed by the FBI and found not to be credible. It also noted that the caller had previously been ordered to undergo psychiatric evaluations three times.
Another call came from a man who claimed he had been a limousine driver and had picked up Trump from Dallas Fort Worth Airport in 1995. The man said he overheard a phone call Trump made while riding in the vehicle.
“During that ride, complainant recalled some of the things Trump spoke about on his cell phone were very concerning and described being ‘a few seconds from pulling the limousine over on the median and within a few seconds of pulling him out of the car and hurting him due to some of the things he was saying,'" the FBI note read.
“Complainant noted Trump repeatedly stated the name 'Jeffrey' while on the phone.”
Another tip came from a woman who alleged that Trump had been present when her child was murdered.
"Complainant following up after a call with NYPD officer regarding her previous tip, reporting that she was forced to perform sex acts when she was 13 years old and pregnant in 1984," the entry read.
"Complainant also reported there were high-profile individuals involved in her sex trafficking and the murder and disposal of her newborn daughter. Complainant reported Donald Trump participated regularly in paying money to force her to perform sex acts with him and alleged Trump was present when her uncle murdered her newborn child."
According to the FBI email, agents were unable to reach that caller to obtain additional information.
Trump’s White House did not respond to questions from Raw Story that were specific to the email. Instead, it repeated a broader defense it has previously offered regarding Trump’s record on Epstein.
"Just as President Trump has said, he's been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein," spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said.
Trump has not been criminally charged in connection with Epstein, but he has not been formally exonerated either.
Jackson added, "And by releasing thousands of pages of documents, cooperating with the House Oversight Committee's subpoena request, signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and calling for more investigations into Epstein's Democrat friends, President Trump has done more for Epstein's victims than anyone before him."
