According to the FBI records, a woman testified that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her when she was between 13 and 15 years old.
She alleged that Trump unzipped his pants and forcibly pushed her head toward his exposed penis. She bit him in self-defense, after which, according to her testimony, Trump struck her and ordered her removed from the room.
Text claims partly supported
Records in the Congressional Record show Rep. Dan Goldman delivered a floor speech in the U.S. House on March 18, 2026 in which he read aloud an account he attributed to an FBI FD-302 interview summary connected to Epstein-file disclosures, including language describing Trump allegedly unzipping his pants, forcing the victim’s head toward his penis, the victim biting him, Trump striking her, and ordering her removed. Independent reporting also confirms that on March 6, 2026 the U.S. Department of Justice released three previously withheld FBI “302” interview summaries from 2019 in which a woman made uncorroborated allegations that Epstein introduced her to Trump when she was between roughly 13 and 15 and that Trump abused her during that trip. However, the publication’s implication that these FBI records establish the assault as a fact is not supported by the evidence available: the DOJ-released 302s and contemporaneous reporting characterize the allegation as uncorroborated, and a 302 is an interview summary rather than an adjudicated finding. So the parts about Goldman reading from 302-related material and the specific described allegation are supported as claims that were publicly read/attributed to FBI interview summaries, but the underlying assault allegation remains unproven based on the sourced material reviewed.
This check evaluates only the statements in the provided publication text. It does not verify any omitted context, additional pages of the FBI files, or any audio/video of the speech beyond what is reflected in the cited Congressional Record and major-news reporting; it also does not determine whether the allegation is true, only whether the publication accurately describes what was publicly read/reported and how substantiated it is.
