House Judiciary Committee Democrats released a 53-page report on October 26, 2026 that alleged Trump was an active participant in Epstein's sexual abuse of young women, so the claim accurately describes what the report did. The underlying allegations are disputed and the White House denies them, but the claim is only that the report made them.

What we found

Supports. The Democrats' own press release, dated October 26, 2026, announces a report detailing mounting evidence linking Trump to Epstein's criminal activities, including accounts from 11 women.[2]

Supports. Politico quotes the minority staff report as alleging Trump was "an active participant in Jeffery Epstein's sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," and The Hill reports the report was released Monday.[3][4]

Supports. Washington Examiner quotes the report's claim that a "growing body of evidence" shows the president was an "active participant" in Epstein's crimes, matching the claim's wording.[5]

Context. The allegations are disputed, have not produced criminal findings, and the White House says "None of these allegations are true"; Newsweek notes these are conclusions of Democratic committee staff, not the full committee or a court.[1][6]
