(JEWISH VOICE NEWS) A massive new release of Jeffrey Epstein files has reignited controversy around some of the world’s most powerful figures, unleashing a flood of shocking, unverified allegations while sparking fresh outrage on Capitol Hill over what critics say is a partial and deeply inadequate disclosure.

According to documents newly made public by the Department of Justice, one allegation claims an underage girl was forced to perform a sex act on Donald Trump roughly 35 years ago in New Jersey, as TMZ reported. The claim appears in a tip submitted to federal authorities and describes an alleged incident involving a girl said to be 13 or 14 years old at the time. The summary alleges the girl bit Trump during the encounter and was then struck after laughing about it. The files indicate the FBI forwarded the lead to its Washington office for follow-up.

The same tranche of records contains numerous other extreme accusations involving Trump — many of which federal investigators explicitly flagged as not credible or were unable to verify, TMZ reported. Among them: a caller who alleged sex trafficking orgies involving celebrities at a Trump golf course in California in the mid-1990s; another woman who claimed she was trafficked as a minor and said Trump paid her for sex acts; and multiple anonymous or unreachable callers making lurid claims about Mar-a-Lago parties involving minors, Epstein, and high-profile guests. In several instances, investigators noted they could not contact the accusers or corroborate their stories.

The DOJ itself cautioned that the release includes raw, unvetted material submitted by the public — including claims that may be false, fabricated, or politically motivated. In a statement referenced by TMZ, the department said some allegations against Trump were “unfounded and false” and noted they were submitted shortly before the 2020 election.

At the same time, another set of revelations has cast a harsh spotlight on Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. Emails attributed to Epstein and included in the DOJ release allege Gates had sexual encounters with Russian women, contracted a sexually transmitted disease, and asked Epstein for antibiotics to secretly give to his then-wife, Melinda Gates, as the Daily Mail reported.

In a lengthy 2013 email Epstein sent to himself, he vented angrily about Gates ending their relationship, claiming Gates had begged him to delete emails referencing an STD, antibiotics, and explicit personal details. Other draft emails — allegedly written from the perspective of Gates’s former adviser Boris Nikolic — describe requests to help Gates obtain drugs and facilitate behavior described as “morally inappropriate” and potentially illegal, according to the Daily Mail.

Gates has forcefully denied the claims. His spokesperson told the Daily Mail the allegations are “absolutely absurd and completely false,” arguing the emails reflect Epstein’s bitterness and efforts to defame him after their relationship ended. Gates has long acknowledged meeting Epstein but has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, saying he regrets the association.

The document dump also includes newly released photos showing Gates and Epstein together, reigniting scrutiny of their past interactions. Melinda Gates previously cited her ex-husband’s affairs and his relationship with Epstein as factors in their divorce, though she did not publicly detail specifics, the Daily Mail reported.

The explosive allegations surfaced as political tensions boiled over in Washington. On Friday, Rep. Robert Garcia, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, blasted the DOJ for releasing only 3 million pages of Epstein records — roughly half of the total collected.

“Donald Trump and his Department of Justice have now made it clear that they intend to withhold roughly 50% of the Epstein files,” Garcia said in a statement, calling the move “outrageous and incredibly concerning.” He accused the DOJ of violating a congressional subpoena and vowed to keep pushing for the release of all files, while protecting survivors.

“We are demanding the names of Epstein’s co-conspirators and the men and pedophiles who abused women and girls,” Garcia said, warning that the investigation is “just getting started.”

For now, the Epstein files remain a volatile mix of verified facts, denials, and deeply disturbing allegations — leaving the public, lawmakers, and victims’ advocates demanding clarity amid one of the most explosive document releases in recent memory.
