Translation: "Trump liked young girls and touched them in private areas": New revelations in Epstein files

24 December 2025 - 10:44, Léonidas Muhire

Five days ago, the United States Department of Justice began releasing further information from the Jeffrey Epstein files, revealing that President Donald Trump had a particularly close relationship with the man, and that the American leader allegedly had a predilection for young girls and touched them in private areas.

The new information is contained in nearly 8,000 newly released pages from the Epstein files, published on the US Department of Justice website on 23 December 2025.

Jeffrey Epstein was a powerful financier who was imprisoned in 2019 following serious charges including child trafficking for sexual exploitation purposes.

Epstein died in prison approximately a month later in what was reported as suicide. However, many maintain he was killed to prevent secrets from emerging that could have implicated several powerful world leaders.

This is because Epstein was friends with politicians, powerful leaders, and numerous financiers, including Trump himself. Many have linked Epstein's death to Trump, as he was President at the time, suggesting he aimed to suppress information in the files.

The new information released on Monday includes audio recordings, photographs, and documents that have been shared in various ways.

Some of these documents include correspondence allegedly from Epstein revealing messages indicating Trump's behaviour towards young girls.

Details contained in a letter reportedly signed by Epstein and sent to Larry Nassar, a former doctor serving life imprisonment for convictions of child sexual abuse.

The message describes Donald Trump as someone who "likes secondary school-age girls". It further states: "When a young girl walks past him, he likes to touch them in private areas."

The newly released documents also reveal that President Trump and Epstein had a close relationship, as Trump frequently travelled on his private aircraft.

Between 1993 and 1996, Trump appeared eight times on the passenger list for that aircraft.

On one of these journeys, the aircraft reportedly carried only three people: Donald Trump, Epstein, and another person aged 20, whose gender was not specified.

However, Trump has previously stated that he had actually ended his entire relationship with Epstein before any criminal investigation began.

Note:

Current Rwanda-US Tensions

Relations between Rwanda and US have deteriorated sharply. Despite the December 4th peace accord signing:

  • On December 13, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared "Rwanda's actions in eastern DRC are a clear violation of the Washington Accords" and warned "the United States will take action" Eurasia Review
  • US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz told the Security Council that Rwanda "is leading the region towards increasing instability and war" Eurasia Review
  • The M23 offensive intensified immediately after the accord was signed, resulting in hundreds of civilians killed The Star

Igihe.com's Government Control

Multiple Freedom House reports (2019-2024) consistently document that Igihe.com operates under substantial government influence:

  • During the 2017 presidential campaign, editors at Igihe were not allowed to publish articles on candidates challenging President Kagame Rwanda: Freedom on the Net 2019 Country Report | Freedom House +3
  • Security officials frequently interfere with editors to prevent publication of stories on certain topics and alter content criticising the government Freedom House
  • The Office of the Government Spokesperson reportedly has administrative access to websites of nominally independent newspapers and routinely removes stories deemed critical of the Kagame administration Freedom House

The Geopolitical Context

The timing is significant: a Rwandan government-influenced outlet publishes demonstrably false allegations against Trump just weeks after the US publicly accused Rwanda of violating Trump's peace deal. This appears to be retaliation through disinformation rather than legitimate journalism.

The article is doubly problematic - both spreading a debunked fabrication and potentially serving as an instrument of state-sponsored disinformation during a diplomatic conflict.

This is a controversial and unsubstantiated article from   Source: https://mobile.igihe.com/amakuru/mu-mahanga/article/trump-yakundaga-abana-bato-no-ku-bakora-ku-myanya-y-ibanga-ibishya-kuri-dosiye

The Critical Issue

The article is based partly on a fake letter that was included in the DOJ's December 23rd file release. The FBI has concluded that the letter purportedly from Epstein to Larry Nassar is "fake" CNNNPR, and the DOJ issued a statement saying "This fake letter serves as a reminder that just because a document is released by the Department of Justice does not make the allegations or claims within the document factual" NPR.

Why the Letter Was Deemed Fake

The postmark was from Virginia (not New York where Epstein was jailed), it was processed three days after his death in August 2019, and the return address incorrectly identified the jail where Epstein was being held PBS.

What Is Actually Documented

The files do confirm:

  • Trump flew on Epstein's private jet eight times between 1993 and 1996 NPR
  • On one 1993 flight, Trump and Epstein were the only two passengers; on another flight the three passengers were Trump, Epstein, and a 20-year-old CNBC

However, Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing in connection to Epstein by law enforcement GBH.

The article you've highlighted is deeply problematic because it presents claims from a discredited, fake document as factual information, which is seriously misleading journalism.

"Trump yakundaga abana bato no ku bakora ku myanya y'ibanga": Ibishya kuri dosiye ya Epstein

 24-12-2025 - saa 10:44,  Léonidas Muhire

Mu gihe hashize iminsi itanu Minisiteri y'Ubutabera ya Amerika itangiye gushyira hanze andi makuru kuri dosiye ya Jeffrey Epstein, hagaragaye ko Perezida Donald Trump we n'uwo mugabo bari bafitanye umubano wihariye ndetse ko uyu muyobozi wa Amerika yakundaga abakobwa bakiri bato no kubakora ku myanya y'ibanga.

Amakuru mashya ari mu nyandiko hafi 8.000 nshya kuri dosiye ya Epstein yashyizwe ku rubuga rwa Minisiteri y'Ubutabera ya Amerika ku itariki 23 Ukuboza 2025.

Jeffrey Epstein yari umunyemari ukomeye watawe muri yombi mu 2019 akurikiranyweho ibyaha bikomeye birimo gucuruza abana bato hagambiriwe kubashora mu busambanyi.

Epstein yapfiriye muri gereza nyuma y'ukwezi bivugwa ko yiyahuye. Gusa benshi baracyemeza ko yishwe kugira ngo hatagira amabanga amuvamo, akandagaza bamwe mu bayobozi bakomeye ku Isi.

Impamvu ni uko Epstein yari inshuti y'abanyapolitiki, abayobozi bakomeye ndetse n'abanyemari benshi harimo na Trump ubwe.
Urupfu rwa Epstein benshi barugerekaga kuri Trump kuko icyo gihe ari we wari Perezida, bakavuga ko yari agamije gusibanganya amakuru kuri dosiye ye.

Amakuru mashya yagiye hanze ejo ku wa Kabiri akubiyemo amajwi n'amashusho n'inyandiko zagiye zihererekanywa mu buryo butandukanye.

Zimwe muri izo nyandiko harimo urwoherejwe na Epstein rugaragaza ubutumwa bwerekana uko Trump yihebeye abana bato.

Bikubiye mu ibaruwa bigaragaza ko yasinywe na Epstein yoherejwe Larry Nassar wahoze ari umuganga ariko wakatiwe igifungo cya burundu ku bwo guhamywa ibyaha byo gusambanya abana.

Ni ubutumwa bugaragaza Donald Trump nk'umuntu "ukunda abakobwa bakiri bato b'ikimero". Kandi ngo "Iyo umukobwa ukiri muto amunyuze iruhande akunda kumukora ku myanya y'ibanga."

Muri izo nyandiko nshya zagiye hanze kandi hagaragazwamo ko Perezida Trump na Epstein bari bafitanye umubano ukomeye kuko yagiye mu ndege ye bwite kenshi.

Kuva 1993 kugeza mu 1996 Trump yagaragaye inshuro umunani ku rutonde rw'abagendaga muri iyo ndege.

Kuri rumwe muri izo ngendo bigaragaramo ko iyo ndege yarimo abantu batatu gusa harimo Donald Trump, Epstein n'undi muntu w'imyaka 20 bitavuzwe niba yari umukobwa cyangwa umuhungu.

Gusa Trump yigeze kuvuga ko umubano we wose na Epstein mu by'ukuri yari yarawuciye mbere y'uko atangira gukurikiranwaho icyaha na kimwe.

Why We Exist

Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states, ruling elites, armed groups, military forces and security services. But these abuses are often sustained by international silence, Western lobbying, trade interests, migration deals, mineral access, diplomatic partnerships and unequal global accountability. Africa Realities Media exposes that system.

Lived Experience Matters

Survivors, displaced communities, refugees, families affected by repression, journalists, activists, women, young people and diaspora voices are not passive subjects. They are knowledge holders. Their experiences must shape policy, advocacy, journalism and public debate. The people closest to injustice are often closest to the solutions.

Our Principle

Africa Realities Media is rooted in one principle: African lives deserve equal truth, equal justice and equal protection.

THE BATTLE OF RUBAYA: Rwanda's War for Minerals Exposed

T he FDLR Pretext Collapses Under the Weight of Documented Plunder   Introduction: A Battle That Tells the Truth When Rwandan-backed RDF/M23 forces fought with extraordinary ferocity to seize and hold Rubaya — a remote mining town in North Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo — the stated justification was security. Kigali's consistent public line has been that its military presence in the DRC is a response to the threat posed by the Forces Democratiques de Liberation du Rwanda (FDLR), an armed group whose leaders include individuals linked to the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. This narrative has been accepted, qualified, or left insufficiently challenged by Western governments and multilateral institutions for over a decade. The Battle of Rubaya strips that narrative bare. What unfolded in Rubaya was not a counter-insurgency operation against genocidal remnants. It was a sustained military campaign — reinforced by the Rwanda Defence Forces (RDF), prosecuted at sign...

John Sengati was a retired Major, and ADC to Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa from 1993 to 2001.

Around 2007, he went to study at Kigali Institute of Technology (KIST) while he was still an active member of the RDF. According to local  reports , in 2009 Major Sengati's land was redistributed in Karama to local residents.

Desperate Kagame: Where Does He Go From Here—and What Comes Next?

  How Paul Kagame Uses Diplomats' "Bury Your Head in the Sand" Strategy as a Green Light to Continue Rwanda's War in the DRC Africa Realities Media   |   17 July 2026 The purpose of this article is to expose a deliberate and systematic strategy: Paul Kagame's years-long practice of creating events — diplomatic dinners, RPF party meetings, genocide commemorations, international business forums and RPF Bureau Politique addresses — to which he invites foreign ambassadors and the world's business and political elite for one purpose: to explain, justify, and defend Rwanda's military invasion of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Everybody who follows this region knows the strategy now. The same narrative. The same arguments. The same defiance. At one event he tells the Trump Administration to go to hell. At the next he says those sanctioning him will leave power and he will remain. At the RPF Bureau Politique of 17 July 2026, he tells ambassadors that the on...

The Kagame Myth: Western Power, Private Jets and Rwanda’s Controlled Reality

  ANALYSIS AND INVESTIGATION Introduction: The Myth and the Man Behind the Myth There is a version of Paul Kagame that exists in the conference halls of Davos, in the pages of Western magazines, in private hotel meetings in London, Paris and Washington, and on the sleeves of European football shirts. In this version, Kagame is a visionary. A builder. A disciplined African moderniser. A leader who pulled a broken country from the ashes of genocide and turned it into what admirers often call the “Singapore of Africa”. In this version, Rwanda is clean, efficient, safe, investment-friendly and orderly. Kagame is presented as the African leader the West wants to believe in: controlled, polished, pro-market, security-focused and comfortable in elite Western spaces. Then there is the Rwanda that many Rwandans, exiles, journalists, opposition figures and human rights organisations describe. In this Rwanda, YouTubers and online commentators are jailed for what they say. Critics die in custo...

The FDLR Myth: How Rwanda Weaponises a Diminished Threat to Justify Occupation

The FDLR Myth: How Rwanda Weaponises a Diminished Threat to Justify Occupation Investigation Exposes Contradictions in Rwanda's Security Narrative For over a decade, Rwanda has justified its military presence in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo by citing threats from the FDLR, a Hutu militia group linked to the 1994 genocide. But an investigation into FDLR's actual capabilities, Rwanda's military operations, and patterns of violence reveals a narrative that does not match reality. The FDLR threat, whilst real, has been systematically exaggerated and manipulated to justify objectives that have nothing to do with the militia group. Introduction The Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) occupies a central position in Rwanda's justification for military intervention in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. For more than two decades, Rwandan authorities have portrayed the militia group as an existential threat requiring sustaine...

The Aggressor’s Complaint: Why Rwanda’s “Biased” US Sanctions Argument Echoes Russia

Kigali wants Washington to punish Congo too. But a ceasefire that leaves the occupier in place is not peace; it is occupation without noise. African lives are not worth less. African deaths are not normal. Western interests must never become a licence to kill African people. Introduction: A Familiar Complaint On 29 June 2026, Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Olivier Nduhungirehe, sat before the cameras of France 24 and declared that his country was “disappointed by the increasingly biased US mediation” in the conflict with the Democratic Republic of Congo. He asked why sanctions had targeted only Rwanda. He called the measures unfair, one-sided and counterproductive. Weeks earlier, President Paul Kagame had told Jeune Afrique that sanctions and threats were insults thrown at Rwanda, and accused Washington of exerting heavy pressure on Rwanda while treating the DRC more delicately. The grievance sounds reasonable until you remember where you have heard it before. Since 2022, the Kr...

The Empire of Kagame’s Global Friends: The Powerful Network Behind His International Protection

This article identifies the central obstacle to accountability for Paul Kagame’s actions in Rwanda and the Great Lakes region: the powerful global network of political leaders, former presidents, diplomats, philanthropists, religious figures, businesspeople, international institutions, sporting organisations, advisers and paid lobbyists that has promoted, legitimised, defended and protected him for three decades. This is a problem-identification article. It asks why Kagame has remained internationally influential and protected despite serious and extensively documented allegations concerning Rwanda’s military actions in the Democratic Republic of Congo, political repression, extraterritorial operations, mineral exploitation and the treatment of political opponents, journalists and critics. The answer is that Kagame has built an international network that gives him political access, diplomatic protection, commercial partnerships, institutional legitimacy, favourable media coverage, ...

French State-Sponsored Racism Without Limits Against the Hutu in France.

French State-Sponsored Racism Without Limits Against the Hutu in France France does not simply remember the Rwanda genocide. It owns it. For three decades, the French state has sponsored and enforced a racist political order — criminalising Hutu identity, silencing African expertise, enforcing a one-sided judicial record and reproducing the same ethnic hierarchy Belgium imposed on Rwanda under colonialism. This is not a failure of memory. It is state-sponsored racism without limits, dressed in the language of historical accountability. African lives are not worth less. African deaths are not normal. Western interests must never become a licence to kill African people. Introduction: Racism as Policy The genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda was real. Between April and July 1994, following an invasion of Rwanda launched by the RPF from Uganda on 1 October 1990, initially under the command of Major-General Fred Rwigyema and subsequently led by Paul Kagame after Rwigyema was killed ...

Why Africa Realities Media Is Different

Africa Realities Media speaks to Africa and to the developed world. Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states and ruling elites, but they are often protected by international silence, lobbying, public relations, trade interests, migration deals and unequal global accountability. While governments pay lobbyists to present a good image abroad, ordinary African people continue to face violence, hunger, disease, poverty, repression and exclusion. We challenge the normalisation of African suffering and demand equal truth, equal justice and equal protection.

Pourquoi Africa Realities Media est différent?

Africa Realities Media s’adresse à l’Afrique et au monde développé. De nombreux abus subis par les peuples africains sont commis par des États africains et des élites dirigeantes, mais ils sont souvent protégés par le silence international, le lobbying, les relations publiques, les intérêts commerciaux, les accords migratoires et une responsabilité mondiale inégale. Tandis que des gouvernements paient des lobbyistes pour présenter une bonne image à l’étranger, des Africains ordinaires continuent de faire face à la violence, à la faim, aux maladies, à la pauvreté, à la répression et à l’exclusion. Nous contestons la normalisation de la souffrance africaine et exigeons une vérité égale, une justice égale et une protection égale.
