One of the documents briefly disclosed by the Department of Justice contains an FBI tip related to a party allegedly hosted more than two decades ago by President Donald Trump that featured prostitutes.
An unidentified female told the FBI in in October 2020 that she had information about a “Jeffrey Epstein party” in 2000, according to a partially redacted summary of the tip — which has not been verified as accurate — that was included in a new batch of files posted online Monday night, but then removed several hours later.
“[She] met Lisa Villeneuve at a hospital where they were roommates in 2000,” the summary states. “Villeneuve now goes by Ghislaine Lisa Villeneuve and sells real estate in Irving California. After [she] and Villeneuve left the hospital they remained friends. Later that year in 2000 around Christmas time Villeneuve invited [the tipster] to a party on Palm Beach Island, FL. [The tipster] believes the house belonged to Epstein.”
“Before the party Villeneuve took [the tipster] to meet Bobby Cox,” the FBI summary continues, based on the tip. “Cox was a young man and introduced himself as a model scout. Villeneuve laughed in response to Cox’s introduction and said ‘No, you’re a pimp.’ Villeneuve, Cox and [the tipster] then went to the party. They entered the property through the back yard and Villeneuve said she would go inside to speak with the hostess which [the tipster] believes was Ghislaine Maxwell. When Villeneuve took [the tipster] inside Villeneuve told to stay close and not go into any of the rooms.”
“Villeneuve took [the tipster] to meet a man named Curt Schmidt, who is currently the CEO of Blue Buffalo,” the summary adds. “When Villeneuve approached Schmidt he asked Villeneuve if [the tipster] was cool. [The tipster] stated she was cool. Villeneuve said no, he means cool to have sex. Schmidt said no he meant cocaine.”
“Villeneuve took back inside and someone told the party that Donald Trump had invited them all to a party at Mar a Lago,” the tip summary concludes. “[The tipster] told Villeneuve she wanted to go, but Villeneuve told it wasn’t that kind of party, it was for prostitutes. [The tipster] hasn’t spoken to Villeneuve since 2002.”
It’s not clear whether the FBI considered the information credible or did any further investigation of the tip, and no one with Villeneuve’s name has previously been connected with Epstein or accused of wrongdoing.
“The Department of Justice has officially released nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein,” DOJ said in a statement issued Tuesday morning. “Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election.”
“To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already,” the statement added. “Nevertheless, out of our commitment to the law and transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims.”
