Updated on Oct. 27, 2026 in Sex Crimes
The House Judiciary Committee released a 50-page report containing sexual assault allegations from 11 women against President Donald Trump. Lawmakers allege that the Department of Justice deliberately withheld evidence and shut down investigations to protect the president.
Why it matters
The report raises serious questions regarding the potential misuse of federal investigative power. It highlights claims that the Justice Department actively suppressed evidence related to accusations of criminal behavior by the president.
The report includes testimony from 11 women and cites FBI records and released Epstein files. It remains an investigative document rather than a formal criminal charging instrument.
