Although the United States is at war with Iran, Congress has not forgotten that the Epstein files have not yet been fully released. Rep. Dan Goldman from New York highlighted President Donald Trump’s alleged involvement with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Goldman accused the Trump administration of committing a “massive cover-up” to shield the president.

“This cover-up reached its apex when Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi falsely testified under oath before the House Judiciary Committee,” Goldman claimed. He cited Bondi’s statement, wherein she denied Trump committed a crime.

“This is a lie. In the three million or so documents disclosed under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, there is credible evidence that Donald Trump committed a crime,” said Goldman. He emphasized that the Department of Justice has yet to turn over another three million pages of the Epstein files. Moreover, he added that Trump has been mentioned 1,000 times in the documents.

Trump’s alleged assault of a child

The alleged crimes of Trump involve the sexual assault of girls.

“I want to focus on one victim’s allegation that the FBI unquestionably found to be credible,” said Goldman. He continued, “The DOJ tried to hide reports of three of the four interviews that this victim gave to the FBI, but pressure from the media and Congress forced them to disclose them, and now we know why.”

“She credibly accuses Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was between thirteen and fifteen,” Goldman claimed.

The interview dates back to August 7, 2019.

Goldman proceeded to describe the interaction between the victim and Trump. “She explained that she was between thirteen and fifteen when she was left alone with Donald Trump, who mentioned something to the effect of, ‘Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be.'”

The congressman said that Trump placed the victim’s head down on his private area, which the victim reportedly bit. Trump reportedly struck the victim and said, “Get this little bitch out of here.” Goldman noted that the victim bit Trump because she was disgusted by him.

A month later, the victim came forward to participate in another interview with the FBI. However, she did not see the point of the interviews, thinking that “nothing could be done” about the assault. After this, she did not speak to the FBI again.

“But the FBI certainly found her story credible. In a 21-page PowerPoint presentation that the FBI made to prosecutors, they included this victim’s testimony. They would not have done so if they did not find the evidence credible,” Goldman argued. Therefore, he concluded that Bondi lied about Trump not committing a crime.

Goldman draws Epstein connection

Goldman referenced Trump’s correspondence with Trump. The president gave a birthday card to Epstein in 2003, featuring a woman’s torso and Trump’s signature. Trump wrote on the card, “We have certain things in common, Jeffrey. Enigmas never age. Have you noticed that? A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday, and may everyday be a wonderful secret.”

But Goldman rightfully pointed out that Palm Beach County police opened an investigation on Epstein in 2003. It was publicized in 2006, and the police chief received a call from Trump. The president said, “Thank God you’re stopping him! Everyone’s known he’s been doing this.”

Goldman also adds that Epstein, in an email to Ghislaine Maxwell dated 2011, described Trump as “the dog that hasn’t barked.” A redacted victim spent hours with Trump, and yet he has not been publicly mentioned or involved in the case.

The New York congressman revealed a document that was redacted to the public but unredacted to Congress. It contradicts what Trump publicly said about Epstein. In the document Goldman presented, Trump said he “may have been” to Epstein’s house with Melania. Trump also said there “may have been children of guests” in Epstein’s house.

At the moment, there is no other document that verifies Trump visiting Epstein’s house. But this presentation proved that the DOJ urgently needs to release the rest of the Epstein files for further investigation.
