The U.S. Justice Department said on social media that some documents contain "untrue and sensationalist claims" made against President Donald Trump.

The latest release of Jeffrey Epstein documents includes an FBI report about a caller’s claim of a suspicious death in Kiefer, Oklahoma, in January 2000.

The caller said a woman was found with her head “blown off” in the small town in northeast Oklahoma days after reporting to police she had been raped by Epstein and Donald Trump. The caller described the death as a murder.

The FBI report was in the nearly 30,000 new documents released by the U.S. Justice Department on Dec. 23.

      It was ruled a suicide. Case closed.

      He said he learned on Jan. 10, 2000, from his girlfriend that the woman was dead, according to the report. He said officers on the scene had stated there was no way it was suicide but the coroner stated it was suicide.

      He said his girlfriend later told him the woman committed suicide because she had gotten cocaine from a Mexican drug cartel.

      A 19-year-old student from Kiefer died on Jan. 10, 2000, according to death notices in two newspapers, the Tulsa World and the Sapulpa Herald. The state’s chief medical examiner, Dr. Eric Pfeifer, told The Oklahoman on Dec. 24 that the death of Dusti Rhea Duke was ruled a suicide by a gunshot to the head.

      Her body was found at an address in Sapulpa, which is near Kiefer, according to medical examiner records.

        It is worth noting, however, that the FBI document states the Trump/Epstein link was newly alleged as of 2020. So if you wanted an FBI agent to make a messy statement about opening an investigation into a Trump/Epstein event the same way Comey talking about Hilary email investigation in 2016, well adding a Trump/Epstein Angle to an old death from the news could do it.

        Yeah, Oklahoma is a shining example of good governance and freedom from corruption, why doubt an official conclusion?

        I don’t think people get their heads blown off without some sort of investigation.

          You would be amazed how many murders go almost completely uninvestigated in America.

          Do some research on some of our more famous serial killers in American history,and police investigation surrounding them. What you’ll find will disgust you. And that’s just ones that we know about after the fact.

          Especially so if the police force is tipped off that it might involve someone with lots of money.

            If it looks like a suicide and the victom is either poor or a minority, coroners aren’t going to expend much effort. And that’s just the laziness part. If the powerful are also involved, it’s even worse.

            As a background watcher of more true crime than I’d like to have watched, you’re completely right. In addition, the investigations the police do are often unbelievably terrible and have at times led to decades of the wrong people in jail or under suspicion because they’re racist, xenophobic, or just plain lazy and bad at their jobs.

            I watched one that I found particularly sickening where they spent lots of time investigating the dad of the victim and coersing a confession out of him when the paroled, actual perpetrator left a shoe with his name on it at the scene of the crime, and the victim’s young brother said that his dad didn’t do it and saw someone else take his sister.
