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.
Congress should hold the Justice department in contempt.
Honesty asking, to what end?
Even if nothing comes of it, it’d be better than doing nothing. Congress should do what they can, not just roll over.
Unless they’re involved…
Congress authorized the release of the Epstein files. Not some of them, but all of them. Congress has authority to hold the executive branch to account. They should exercise those powers to ensure their mandate is fulfilled. Anything less is capitulating to an authoritarian regime.
Nothing says guilty like a coverup
It’s like they’re not even trying, it’s insulting really like how stupid do they think we are
It’s even more insulting how little they care.
No. Noooooo, he’s just undercover. That’s all. He’s trying to take them down from the inside. Just you wait, he’ll drain that swamp any minute now!!!
It’s not covering up a crime, it’s just that the truth is complicated, and the citizens can’t understand it. They’re protecting us, it’s for our own good.
Edit: I decided I better add /s, before someone thinks that was actually a serious statement, which it would be for MAGAs.
Speaking of coverups, the Franklin Scandal from 88 sure feels familiar (thumbnail is clickbait to appease the algorithm) coverup starts with a plane crash about halfway through and the bodies keep dropping until around 92: https://youtu.be/a2lvo38u4ds
Early reports on Epstein’s trafficing start in 94
That was a wild, disturbing ride. Let me down a rabbit hole to John David Norman and his child abuse network. Prosecutors decided to settle for Norman instead of pursuing his client list, which included some high-profile individuals. Also connected to at least two serial killers.
I would so love to see Blondi in prison over this. Same with Pedonald, of course.
Reactionary centrists in the Murc’s Law media would say that wanting to see justice meted out for pedos and pedo-protecters means that someone has “Trump Derangement Syndrome”.
Traitors should be executed. Capital punishment.
We know
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
I think a better phrasing would be “I’m not surprised by this”
No, we do know, because Bondi told us so. She said there were 6M pages, and that they only released ~3.5M.
Yes, but… the Dow!
Considering there’s not a single email to or from him in the files… yeah, we know.
Yeah, we fucking know.
Well, no one is surprised, isn’t
I mean. Sue them. I’m not sure saying they broke the law over and over again is going to do anything substantive.
The federal government has to give you permission to sue them.
Sovereign Immunity is an English common law thing, so it’s not even US only.
Yeah… best we can do is contempt of congress.
I mean, we all know they are breaking the law daily and donald trump has threatened them all with death if they don’t scrub his name from every file.
I really wish the conservative party didn’t just flop over like a possum for a horrible dictator, but they are desperate for control and this was their only way to get revenge on democrats and neutral people.
I mean… is anyone still surprised by this?
The U.S.A. are governed by a pedophile rapist and they don’t go tear and shoot shit up. So the majority of them is fine with this.
