As Congress continues to press the White House for greater transparency on the Epstein files, previously unreleased, handwritten notes from FBI agents are shedding new light on the relationship between notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and President Donald Trump. The 30 notes were derived from a series of 2019 interviews with a woman who claimed to have traveled with Epstein when she was a teen, alleging that during one trip, she was sexually assaulted by Trump. The White House has denied the allegations. While much of the content of the handwritten notes was later transcribed into official summaries called 302s, the Post and Courier compared them and found that many details had not made it into the formal documents.

President Donald Trump has been promoting the White House's new mobile app " pushing it to become the third-most downloaded item on Apple's popular App Store.

"But most of its users wouldn't know that, because the app doesn't disclose its data sharing the way most others do."
