The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.

Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.

NPR reviewed multiple sets of unique serial numbers appearing before and after the pages in question, stamped onto documents in the Epstein files database, FBI case records, emails and discovery document logs in the latest tranche of documents published at the end of January. NPR’s investigation found dozens of pages that appear to be catalogued by the Justice Department but not shared publicly.

      At the risk of quoting Junior Soprano, no you didn’t know it, they just told you

      You may know of other investigations showing very similar things but this is new

        I think we knew like we knew Eddie Spaghetti liked to eat spaghetti before anyone even told us that about Eddie.

          That’s fair but at the same time a bunch of reporters are busting their asses to run down all of Eddie’s lies and that work deserves some attention

        No, we do know, because Bondi told us so. She said there were 6M pages, and that they only released ~3.5M.
