Among the thousands of documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice in December 2025 under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, one FBI tip from 2020 stands out for its extreme and disturbing content. An anonymous woman alleged she was sex trafficked in 1984 at age 13 by her uncle and Jeffrey Epstein, becoming pregnant during the ordeal. She claimed her newborn daughter was murdered by her uncle shortly after birth and the body disposed of in Lake Michigan—from a yacht originating in Mona Lake, Michigan.
Most shockingly, the tip lists then-private citizen Donald Trump as a witness to the killing. The complainant stated Trump “participated regularly in paying money to force me to [redacted] with him” and “was present when my uncle murdered my newborn child and disposed of the body in Lake Michigan.” The tip, filed as a follow-up to an alleged phone call with an NYPD-FBI task force detective, references events allegedly occurring mostly on yachts where various men and women paid for sexual acts with the underage girl.
The DOJ has explicitly described some claims in the released files—including those targeting President Trump—as “untrue and sensationalist,” noting they were submitted shortly before the 2020 election. Officials emphasized that if credible, such allegations would have been pursued earlier, and no evidence supports them. Fact-checks confirm the document’s authenticity but highlight its unverified nature; no investigation or corroboration is mentioned.
This tip echoes older, dismissed lawsuits like the 2016 “Katie Johnson” case alleging Trump and Epstein raped a 13-year-old in the 1990s, which was dropped amid questions over credibility. Victims’ advocates stress believing survivors while calling for thorough probes, but experts note anonymous tips require substantiation.
As over a million more documents await review and release, this allegation—though harrowing—remains unsubstantiated, fueling debate over transparency, credibility, and buried histories in the Epstein saga.
