Donald Trump is alleged to have sexually assaulted a woman while she was a minor, according to a claim reported in the Epstein Files.

These misdeeds were part of a trove of dirty secrets in the CIA's past that came to be known as the agency's "Family Jewels." Some sources Racket spoke with this week recalled the case in conjunction with news about the discovery of a cache of secret files at the FBI.
