Virginia Giuffre has claimed that Donald Trump did not participate in any underage sex while at the home of pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In the newly released batch of documents, Giuffre said in a deposition that she didn't believe the former President to have 'participated in anything'.
When asked if the former president was 'a witness to the sexual abuse of minors' while at the home of Epstein, Giuffre said she had never seen him at the property.
She said: 'I never saw or witnessed Donald Trump participate in those acts, but was he in the house of Jeffrey Epstein. I've heard he has been, but I haven't seen him myself so I don't know.'
Epstein's Palm Beach villa was located just 1.5 miles from Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort and the two men were friends in the 90s, with Trump flying on his plane, dubbed the 'Lolita Express' at least four times.

Giuffre had also added: 'If you walked foot into Jeffrey Epstein's house and you went in there and you continued to be an acquaintance of his, then you would have to know what was going on there.'
The former president was mentioned in the explosive 1,000 pages of documents released last week.
While his name had appeared throughout the documents, it has not implicated him in the pedophile financier's debauchery or crimes.
On Monday, documents relating to the case contained accusations from Epstein victim Sarah Ransom who claims Trump had sex with a friend of hers at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse.
Ransome claimed that Trump had sexual relations with 'many girls,' according to the documents.
She described an unidentified friend, who she said was 'one of the many girls that had sexual relations with Donald Trump.'
'Mr. Trump definitely seemed to have a thing for her and she told me how he kept going on about how he liked her 'pert nipples'. Donald Trump liked flicking and sucking her nipples until they were raw', the document said.
'One evening when we were showering together she showed me her nipples. They looked incredibly painful as they were red and swollen and I remember wincing when I looked at them.

'I also know she had sexual relations with Trump at Jeffery's NY mansion on regular occasions as I once met Jen for coffee, just before she was going to meet Trump and Epstein together at his mansion,' the emails claimed.
None of the women are named and Trump has repeatedly denied having any involvement in Epstein's seedy lifestyle.
Steven Cheung, Trump spokesperson, hit back at the allegations, saying: 'These baseless accusations have been fully retracted because they are simply false and have no merit.'
In Monday's release of documents, it was also claimed that Epstein kept blackmail videos that showed Bill Clinton, Trump and Richard Branson having sex with woman he supplied them with. No such footage has ever been publicly uncovered.
A spokesman for Branson's company Virgin denied the allegations.
'In a New Yorker report published in 2019, Ransome admitted that she had "invented" the tapes.
'We can confirm that Sarah Ransome's claims are baseless and unfounded.'
Unsealed documents last week revealed deposition by Johanna Sjoberg, an Epstein 'victim' who was allegedly recruited to work as a massage therapist, recalled meeting Trump during her visit to Atlantic City.
She discussed a visit to a Trump Atlantic City Casino after a storm kept Epstein's plane from landing in New York. It was her first time aboard Epstein's plane.

Her interview contains no suggestion Trump did anything inappropriate or visited Epstein's private island, Little Saint James, where numerous orgies were alleged to have taken place.
Sjoberg even states that she did not give Trump a massage when asked.
'We left from Palm Beach and landed in Atlantic City for a few hours because there was a storm in New York, and then got back on the plane a 10 few hours later and landed in Teterboro,' said Sjoberg, 42.
'Jeffrey said, 'Great, we'll call up Trump and we'll go to'—I don't recall the name of the casino, but—'we'll go to the casino,' Sjoberg said in her deposition, taken at a lawyer's office in Florida in 2016.
She said Giuffre, who was traveling with them, couldn't go into the Casino.
'She was underage. I did not know anything about how old you had to be to gamble legally. I just knew she could not get in because of an ID issue. So she and I did not gamble.'
The ended up walking around the casino because Giuffre either 'didn't have an ID or she was too young.'
She was also asked if she ever massaged Trump, and responded, 'No.'
Trump spokesman Steven Cheung issued only a brief comment following the release of the first batch of documents last week.
Trump was quoted speaking about Epstein favorably in a 2002 New York Magazine profile of Epstein that attempted to take stock of the high-flying money manager who traveled in top social circles and ran his business out of a private island in the Caribbean.
'I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,' Trump told the magazine. 'He's a lot of fun to be with.
'It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it - Jeffrey enjoys his social life.'

Trump also commented on Epstein from inside the Oval Office back in 2019, when the financier was facing charges for sexual abuse.
'Well I knew him, like everybody in Palm Beach knew him. The people in Palm Beach knew him. He was a fixture in Palm Beach,' Trump continued.
'I had a falling out a long time ago with him,' Trump said. 'I don't think I've spoken to him in 15 years.'
'I wasn't a fan , I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you,' Trump added, without directly answering a question about the reason for the falling out.
All of the filings come from a 2015 defamation lawsuit that Giuffre filed against Maxwell.
At the time, Giuffre had gone public with her claims against Prince Andrew, Maxwell and Epstein.
She said she'd been sexually trafficked to the royal by Maxwell and Epstein, who she claimed abused countless other girls in similar ways.
Maxwell, Epstein and Prince Andrew denied her allegations.
Giuffre sued Maxwell for publicly labeling her a liar. The case was settled in 2017 - two years before Epstein was charged and later died by suicide - and before Maxwell's arrest.
They have become public now after repeated requests from the media and some of those caught up in the scandal, who pleaded for transparency from the court.
What was expected was a list that unmasked the 187 Jane and John Does whose names were previously protected.
The court has not fulfilled that request, and instead has published hundreds upon hundreds of pages where the names were previously redacted.
