Fox News Radio Says Epstein Files Accuse Trump of Rape
Fox News Radio on Tuesday aired a segment stating that newly released Epstein-related documents include an unclassified FBI intake report alleging that Donald Trump was accused of rape, a claim the Department of Justice cautions is unverified and may be sensationalized or false.
The report was broadcast as part of a TMZ Minute segment carried on Fox News Radio platforms. According to the segment, the allegation appears in an unclassified 2020 FBI intake report connected to the broader release of materials tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The intake report allegedly references a claim that Trump and Epstein raped a woman in the 1990s. The segment notes that key portions of the document are redacted and that the allegation has not been independently verified. FBI intake reports are used to document tips and allegations and do not constitute findings, sworn testimony, or criminal charges.

Fox News Radio’s posting includes a disclaimer stating that the Department of Justice has warned that some claims circulating in the newly released Epstein records may be exaggerated, unsubstantiated, or false. Trump has denied wrongdoing in prior statements and has not been charged in connection with Epstein-related crimes.
Epstein, a wealthy financier with ties to numerous political, business, and entertainment figures, died in federal custody in 2019 while facing sex-trafficking charges. His associate Ghislaine Maxwell was later convicted on federal sex-trafficking charges.
The decision by Fox News Radio to air the allegation has drawn attention online, as conservative media outlets have historically downplayed or avoided reporting on claims linking Trump to Epstein. The segment’s publication comes amid continued public scrutiny of federal disclosures related to Epstein and debate over how allegations contained in unverified records should be framed.
As with other materials tied to the Epstein document releases, the allegations referenced in the FBI intake report remain unproven and must be read in context.
