President Donald Trump's administration has apparently been aware of allegations he assaulted a woman, according to one reporter reviewing the latest batch of Epstein files.

CNN correspondent MJ Lee reported Friday on the contents of some of the "302 documents" that are included in the most recent tranche of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents the Department of Justice (DOJ) recently released. 302 forms are official FBI files for documenting witness interviews and summarizing victim statements.

"When you go through the filesthat were released today, thereare multiple 302s, andthey are significant because formany of these survivors, they've been wonderingfor years, sometimes decades — 'isthere a a record of what Ionce told the FBI about Epstein's wrongdoings?Everything I know about him andhis actions?'" Lee said.

"But the importantthing is that they may notactually get the answers towhether the FBI actually didanything to follow up on thesecomplaints," she continued. "But I do know for afact that there are survivorswho are currently poring throughthese documents, trying to seeif they can see that their 302,the information they gave theFBI, are included in thesedocuments."

Lee noted that many of Epstein's victims have said that despite the DOJ being more than a month past the statutory deadline imposed by the Epstein Files Transparency Act — which was presumably so the Justice Department could make all appropriate redactions to protect victims — some of their names and identifying information remain unredacted. This is despite Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche saying during a Friday press conference that names and faces of all women in the files were redacted.

"Todd Blanche, youheard him saying that he verymuch cares about protecting theidentity of the victims. Buteven some Jane Does that I'vespoken with, they say that theirnames are all throughout thefile," Lee said. "So there is, to say theleast, a lot of anger comingfrom the survivors and thevictims about how the redactionshave been botched once again."

CNN host Brianna Keilar then asked about the DOJ reportedly pulling a link containing damning allegations about President Donald Trump, before restoring access once journalists noticed the omission. Lee noted that despite Blanche saying the DOJ did not try to protect Trump in the latest release, Justice Department leaders apparently discussed the allegations amongst themselves.

"Thereis a document in the files thatwere released today that doesshow that there were at leastinternal discussions within Trump's DOJ about allegationsof sexual assault that were madeagainst Donald Trump that werereceived through an FBI tipline," she said. "And officials here appearto be discussing a list of thesetips that came in. We are notgoing to detail them becausemany of them are unverifiedtips, but the FBI officials evenwent as far as to color-code thevarious tips, saying yellow isgoing to be used for the moresalacious allegations against Donald Trump. Some of them wecan see in the document, werefollowed up on, others were not,and some were deemed notcredible."
